This reads like a screed by a Marxist undergrad in a campus paper.
There is no way the editors of the Globe thought it was a meritorious piece.
Was it run because the āeat the richā tag line would max engagement? Is the Globe now trolling us with clickbait?
Or do the Globeās editors also want to incite hatred of their massively wealthy proprietors?
Worst energy shock in history transpiring; inventories about to bottom; Germany buying BC LNG; South Korea, India and China all come to Canada in the same two week period asking for oil and gas; TSX O&G index up 35% YTD.

idk what exactly it's called but this distinctly Canadian style of architecture best exemplified in their Grand Railway Hotels is one of my fav things about our northern neighbor. Super cool cultural unification method, and also a cool way to distinguish them from us
Excellent piece by @JohnIbbitson.
As someone who is and always will be a patriotic Canadian, I encourage central Canadians to read his excellent synopsis of Western / Alberta alienation.
First and foremost, Albertans want to be respected, but too often feel like we are treated like the ugly step child of Confederation.
Alberta has been central to modern Canadaās prosperity. All we really seek is the ability to build on that economic dynamism, and unleash our entrepreneurial culture without constraints from Ottawa and other provinces.
Being late Gen X is perfect timing. Had a childhood without the internet, college without smartphones, grad school and early career without AI, and will get to live a reasonably long and fruitful life before the machines exterminate us all.
There are only 3 news organizations in Canada that don't take government handouts;
Blacklock's
Juno News
Rebel News
Notice how these 3 will investigate and talk about things that no other media in Canada has the guts to touch.
Jon McKenzie, CEO of Cenovus, came out swinging on their Q1 conference call today. Great to see CEO's becoming more vocal about our squandered opportunity! To summarize: no other oil producing country is doing this to themselves...time for Canada to wake up!
Lately, Iāve been asked why Canada should pursue an expensive greenfield West Coast oil pipeline when the cheapest option is to continue shipping to the United States.
Today, my op-ed in @globeandmail argues that, if a new pipeline is evaluated only on traditional commercial terms, it will never get built. A West Coast pipeline should be seen as insurance, providing access to tidewater and Asian markets when it matters most.
For a West Coast greenfield oil pipeline to happen, Canadians, governments, and industry will need new approaches to financing, ownership, and returns.

None of these 15 projects have been approved or are under construction, they have simply been referred to the Major Projects Office.
At some point soon we're going to need to start seeing shovels in the ground if "build at speeds not seen since WW2" means anything real.
The #SpringUpdate outlines progress the government has made in advancing major projects that will connect and transform our nation.
-15 projects
-60,000 jobs
-$125 billion in new investments
