Canada needs an economic supercharger and we have one ready to be unlocked

by Itari Thomas | Oct 22, 2025 | Advocacy, Op-Eds

Adam Legge: How to make Canada an energy superpower

Adam Legge: How to make Canada an energy superpower

by Lily Dupuis | May 14, 2025 | Advocacy, Op-Eds

The question is no longer whether Canada should be a global energy leader—our newly-elected prime minister has set the ambition for us to be an energy superpower—it’s will we seize the moment and take the actions to become one. It’s important to remind ourselves that...
