Is Canada quietly sabotaging its own prosperity?
In this powerful new episode of Power Struggle, UBC lecturer and policy expert Adam Pankratz returns to the studio with Stewart Muir for a no-nonsense conversation about Canada's energy, economy, and future. From the ballooning costs of the Trans Mountain pipeline to the unintended consequences of government overreach, this episode breaks down the real reasons investors are fleeing and what that means for your job, your home, and your standard of living.
We dig into:
- Why a $5B pipeline ended up costing over $30B
- How government failures in Indigenous consultation stalled critical projects
- Why no one wants to build pipelines in Canada anymore
- Whether EVs are really the clean solution we’ve been sold
- The growing fear over private property rights in B.C.
- And what happens to young Canadians if we keep missing the economic moment
Clear-eyed, courageous, and sometimes uncomfortable, this episode is essential viewing for anyone who cares about Canada’s future.
Don’t miss this conversation with one of the most compelling voices on Canadian policy today.
