Canada has an opportunity to harness private capital to responsibly develop its world-class resource base, ensuring projects are advanced in a carbon-conscious manner. At the same time, the country can broaden its global client base while increasing exports of oil, gas, and critical minerals to the United States, its most important trading partner. In doing so, Canada and the U.S. together could emerge as a true North American resource superpower. Everyone needs to examine this prospect with logic and objectivity, it is not just a political debate, but a long-term business and investment imperative.
