Some were surprised by news that @JoeBiden may cancel #KeystoneXL on Day 1 of his presidency. However, those who follow MLI know we've been warning about this for months. @Jeff_Kucharski argued last year that Canada ought to look beyond the US. #cdnpoli https://www.macdonaldlaurier.ca/keystone-xl-look-beyond-u-s/
The apparently imminent cancellation of #KeystoneXL comes amidst a time of languishing energy infrastructure development and further attempts to penalize Canada's energy sector. @jackmintz argues that this is "exactly what Canada *doesn't* need." #cdnpoli https://www.macdonaldlaurier.ca/penalize-western-energy-exactly-canada-doesnt-need/
To reverse this trend, Canada must be able to meaningfully export energy products beyond North American markets. @Jeff_Kucharski writes Canada must expand to new markets in the Indo-Pacific where demand is high & energy security remains a priority #cdnpoli https://www.macdonaldlaurier.ca/leveraging-canadas-strategic-energy-resources-indo-pacific-new-mli-report/
Both 2020 and 2019 demonstrated clearly that tensions in the Middle East and elsewhere can seriously disrupt the fragile energy supply chains of our allies in the Indo-Pacific. Canada has an opportunity to provide a stable supply of energy products @jbmllr https://www.macdonaldlaurier.ca/crisis-iran-shows-world-needs-canadas-energy-j-berkshire-miller-irfan-yar-national-post/
Not only would this have major economic benefits for Canada at a time when such benefits are desperately needed, but it would also allow Canada to engage in "energy diplomacy" to help realize our national interests on the global stage @shuvmajumdar #cdnfp https://www.macdonaldlaurier.ca/age-decoupling-leveraging-canadas-global-energy-diplomacy-indo-pacific-beyond/
We have an immense opportunity to increase Canada's prosperity & become a reliable source of energy for our allies by supporting oil & gas exports. MLI hosted an event discussing this last year. @Jeff_Kucharski @lraitt @jbmllr #cdnpoli #cdnfp

Furthermore, as @shuvmajumdar has explained, "pipeline projects and energy developments will allow Canada to flex more influence on the world stage—and weaken the grip of bad international actors." #cdnpoli #cdnfp https://www.macdonaldlaurier.ca/leverage-energy-advantage-into-geopolitical-one-shuv-majumdar/
