Guess what ACTUALLY puts Canada in a weaker position? Our dependence on volatile commodities - oil and gas - that can be weaponized by despots. You know what kind of Canadian energy Trump can't control? The sun and the wind. #cdnpoli
Poilievre is speaking in Newfoundland right now and uh, he’s got props!!!!!

Overall vibe of today’s presser from Poilievre so far: attacking the Liberals for not approving more pipelines and energy projects and trying to tie it to the Trump threat (saying we’re in a weaker position bc of it)

The Mactaquac hydroelectric dam 20 km upriver from Fredericton is a major source of electricity in New Brunswick. Although only halfway through its expected life, it requires major refurbishment. Is spending $8.9 billion to fix a 60-year-old power generation station really the best path forward?
Should Mactaquac be replaced by wind power?

The SMR Information Task force noted studies showing that we can reach net zero without any new nuclear energy. Canada should be following the lead of the many countries showing that we do not need nuclear energy to reach net zero.
