Three major announcements landed in Alberta within days of each other, and broadcaster Rob Breakenridge breaks down what is actually behind them. A new pipeline to BC, talk of one from Alberta to Ontario, and a thirteen billion dollar Meta data center all dropped during Calgary Stampede, timed to the political spotlight the event brings every year.
Rob points out the catch nobody is saying out loud: a pipeline already connects Alberta oil to Ontario, it just crosses through Michigan first, and Enbridge is already expanding its capacity. Building a second one on strictly Canadian soil could cost tens of billions more to duplicate something that already works.
He also digs into Ottawa's decision to exclude American bidders from a 4.9 billion dollar military vehicle contract, and asks whether the move accomplishes anything beyond making a point.
