The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, Nov. 29, edition that the memorandum of understanding signed by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith signals a major shift in energy policy rather than just addressing an oil pipeline. The Globe's Jeffrey Jones writes that the MOU goes beyond just increasing crude exports to Asia. The PM has staked his government on cultivating Canada's ability to construct major industrial projects. Alberta's long-standing grievance has been an inability to build oil pipelines to tidewater at will, and now Mr. Carney and Ms. Smith, newly aligned, are set to retest Canadians' appetite for such a project, against the wishes of B.C. Premier David Eby and coastal first nations. Capital Power chief executive officer Avik Dey says a pipeline is one feature in a federal-provincial deal that has morphed into a larger strategy to put Canada's resource wealth and infrastructure to work. He says he is not talking about pipelines, rather about economic development. He says, "It's about what's in our net economic interest as Canadians and how do we accomplish the things that we want to accomplish in this country because the reality is we need all of those things."
