Energy, pipelines, and a storm of political rhetoric—welcome to the heart of Canada’s deep divide. In this episode ,we’re diving into Pierre Poilievre’s latest critique of the Impact Assessment Act. He’s labeled it an “anti-energy, anti-development” law, accusing it of stifling the economy and driving investment away from Canada. His proposed fix? A full repeal, courtesy of the so-called “Common Sense” Conservatives.
But is the Act truly the economic villain Poilievre paints it to be? Or is this just another calculated soundbite aimed at energizing his base while sidestepping the broader context? We’re unpacking what the Impact Assessment Act entails, who stands to gain from its repeal, and how Poilievre’s self-styled “working-class hero” narrative conveniently overlooks workers outside the Big Oil sphere.
It’s time to cut through the noise and get to the heart of Canada’s resource battles. Buckle up because we’re about to get awfully political.
