Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss the dramatic shift in Canadian politics toward embracing pipeline development and natural resource projects. They examine how Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have forged an unlikely alliance on energy infrastructure, the Liberal Party's pragmatic pivot from Trudeau-era climate policies, and the challenges this creates for opposition parties.

In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine the consolidation of power around Canada's Liberal Party after a decade in government. They explore how federal subsidies and policy preferences have created alignment across media, academia, and corporate Canada with the governing party. The discussion questions whether genuine political competition remains viable when institutions become financially and ideologically entangled with one party, and considers whether conservatives should focus their energy on provincial rather than federal politics.

Minister of Transport and Government House Leader Steve MacKinnon discusses Bill C-39, legislation aimed at reforming Canada's major project permitting and regulatory system. He explains why he believes the bill will accelerate project approvals, improve labour negotiations, and strengthen supply chains. MacKinnon outlines the government's goals of economic growth and trade diversification, addresses lessons from past regulatory failures, and defends the Liberal Party's centrist approach to balancing more progressive interests while advancing pro-growth policies.

Grant Sprague, a former Alberta deputy energy minister, breaks down Pacific Link—the new name for Alberta's proposed West Coast oil pipeline—and what its national-interest designation actually means. He explains why the project is still not a done deal, why next spring’s open season could be the first real test of industry appetite, and why the headline price tag may not capture the full cost. We also get into Roberts Bank, Pathways, labour constraints, and whether governments are now building the market rather than waiting for the market to build the pipeline.

Monte Solberg, former MP and cabinet minister under Stephen Harper, makes the conservative case for why Alberta should stay in Canada. Harkening back to his days in the Reform Party, he argues that “reform never ends”—and that real governance is less about defeating your opponents and more about doing what’s best for the people. Solberg speaks from the heart about why Canada is more than an economic arrangement—and why citizenship is also about what you are willing to contribute to the country you belong to.
