Brian Crombie is joined by Dr. Heather Exner-Pirot, one of Canada’s foremost voices on energy policy, pipelines, Indigenous relations, and resource development. Central to the national discussion on Canada’s new Pipeline MOU, Heather breaks down why it’s a major political and economic talking point. In this episode, Heather explores:
🔹 Why the Pipeline MOU is resonating nationally — from centrist voters to strong support in Alberta, and a pragmatic approach from BC’s Premier on LNG and pipeline infrastructure.
🔹 What it would take to build another pipeline in Canada — key regulatory reforms and conditions embedded in the MOU that could attract private investment.
🔹 The real role of Indigenous partnerships — consultation and accommodation vs. blanket consent, and how Indigenous loan guarantees could de-risk projects.
🔹 Canada’s political shift back to the centre — insights into the resignation of Minister Steven Guilbeault and the limits of the green-left in shaping energy policy.
🔹 Canada’s potential as an energy superpower — opportunities in oil, gas, uranium, gold, copper, and critical minerals, contingent on regulatory confidence.
🔹 Why mining and energy matter globally — challenges in the North, opportunities in Saskatchewan, and the benefits of exporting Canadian energy to Asia. A must-listen for anyone interested in pipelines, Indigenous equity partnerships, energy security, and the future of Canada’s economy.
