West Coast Pipeline? Oil & Gas Want Us Tied to the U.S. But We Need Renewables for Sovereignty

November 22, 2025
West Coast Pipeline? Oil & Gas Want Us Tied to the U.S. But We Need Renewables for Sovereignty



The Environment in Canada Podcast episode 86 on how oil and gas corporations are sabotaging Canadian sovereignty. You can listen to the episode on The Harbinger Media Network, IHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or our website below:

Oil and Gas interests want to increase Canada’s reliance on the United States. So why is the Alberta Government talking about a west coast oil pipeline MOU with the Federal Government – especially since the economics of such a pipeline are terrible? Because the MOU on an imaginary pipeline is actually cover to weaken Canada’s climate regulations and slow the growth of renewable energy – renewable energy that is Canada’s best bet for continuing our sovereignty…
