Here's the latest bunch. Watch all episodes of Power Struggle on our YouTube channel.
Alberta’s oil, gas, and lithium resources are massive — and so are the stakes. In this exclusive Power Struggle episode, Energy Minister Brian Jean joins Stewart Muir to discuss Canada’s global energy role, the new “Grand Bargain” with Ottawa, and why a pipeline to the Pacific could change everything.
Jean argues Alberta’s energy is not just a provincial asset — it’s a national tool for prosperity, security, and reconciliation. From Trans Mountain to lithium extraction, carbon fiber innovation to base-load reliability, he lays out a high-stakes vision for energy independence and economic growth.
Recorded in January 2026, this conversation touches on U.S.–Canada trade, Asia’s growing demand for heavy crude, Indigenous equity partnerships, and how Alberta plans to power not just itself — but BC, the North, and beyond.
Watch now to hear how decisions made today will echo for decades.
