Repeal, Rebuild, Recover: A Real Plan for Canada’s Energy Future
Canada is at a crossroads. After a decade of policies that have stifled development, driven away investment, and slowed our economic growth, the cracks in our foundation are showing—and the world is noticing.
In this short parliamentary session, the government is rushing to pass Bill C-5, a temporary measure aimed at overriding parts of its own legislation. It’s a tacit admission that laws like C-69 (the no new pipelines law), C-48 (the tanker ban), the oil and gas production cap, and the industrial carbon tax have failed Canadians.
These policies were sold as progress. In reality, they’ve made Canada one of the slowest-growing economies in the developed world. They’ve blocked projects, killed jobs, and left our allies wondering why a country as resource-rich as ours can’t seem to build anything anymore.
Now, as we host the G7, those questions are louder than ever.
Bill C-5 is not a solution.
Bill C-5 is not a solution. It’s a patchwork fix that hopes to paper over the damage without addressing the root cause. Selectively overriding bad laws doesn’t restore investor confidence or get shovels in the ground. It just delays the inevitable reckoning.
What Canada needs is a real plan.
- Repeal the anti-energy laws that have held us back.
- Rebuild our project approval systems to be clear, fair, and fast.
- Recover our economic momentum by unleashing the potential of our energy sector.
This isn’t just about pipelines or regulations—it’s about paycheques, prosperity, and our place in the world. It’s time to stop pretending that half-measures will do.
Let’s get Canada building again.
