The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that oil and gas chief executive officers are optimistic that a majority government in Ottawa will help accelerate the changes they want to see on energy policies. The Globe's Emma Graney writes that movement is essential, they say, so that Canada can benefit as the war in Iran continues to upend energy markets and shakes the structure of global markets. That has many governments realizing how exposed they are to an energy shock and taking a hard look at energy security. Chris Carlsen, CEO of Birchcliff, says: "The reality is it has done something similar to what tariffs did -- created an impetus to act. When dealing with tariffs, all of a sudden we got our national pride figured out and we're nation-building. Now we need to diversify our customer base. Allies are reaching out to us directly as an industry, as a company, asking for propane, asking for butane, asking for natural gas and we have nothing to provide. There is a tailwind here to say, 'Hey, maybe Qatar LNG is not as secure and reliable and everything else as a plethora -- some from Canada, some from the Gulf Coast, some from Australia, some from Qatar.' You're seeing the buyers think about that a lot more."
