Trump’s threats reveal the trouble with Canada’s pipelines running through the U.S.

recognizing the need for diversification and pushing through the controversial pipeline, despite fierce opposition.

But even with TMX in operation, Canada still relies heavily on the U.S. for its energy needs. The recent threats of tariffs and the unpredictable nature of the current U.S. administration have highlighted the dangers of being too dependent on a single market.

As Canada looks to the future, it must continue to explore new markets and opportunities for its oil and gas resources. This may mean investing in new infrastructure to access international markets, such as LNG terminals on the East and West coasts.

It may also mean investing in renewable energy sources and transitioning away from fossil fuels altogether. The recent push for net-zero emissions by 2050 has put pressure on governments and industries to reduce their reliance on traditional energy sources.

The events of the past year have shown that the concept of “continental energy security” is no longer sufficient to protect Canada from external threats. It is time for Canada to adapt and evolve its energy strategy to ensure long-term stability and security.

The world of energy is changing rapidly, and Canada must be prepared to change with it. By diversifying its energy sources and markets, Canada can protect itself from future threats and ensure a stable and sustainable energy future for generations to come.
