Is Canada entering a new commodity supercycle — and are we prepared for what comes next?

In this episode of Power Struggle, Stewart Muir is joined by Heather Exner-Pirot, Director of Energy, Natural Resources, and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, to explore the economic and geopolitical forces reshaping Canada’s future.

From uranium and mining stocks to LNG expansion and oil markets, Exner-Pirot explains why commodity cycles matter — and why this one could redefine Canada’s global position.

They discuss:

• The return of investor interest in energy and mining
 • Why oil demand continues to grow globally
 • LNG, natural gas, and British Columbia’s strategic role
 • Methane regulations and the cost of compliance
 • Carbon competitiveness and investment risk
 • Nuclear power and Canada’s uranium advantage
 • Arctic sovereignty, security, and NORAD modernization
 • What it truly means to be an “energy superpower”

This is a candid conversation about prosperity, policy, and realism in a world where energy demand is rising — not falling.

At a time of global instability and shifting alliances, Canada’s resource base may be its greatest strategic advantage.

The question is no longer whether the world needs Canadian energy — but whether Canada will seize the opportunity.
