Canada is one of the most energy-rich countries on Earth. Yet as oil prices surge and global energy markets panic, Canada is largely watching from the sidelines.

In this episode of Tap the Maple, we break down how a decade of cancelled pipelines, delayed LNG projects, and energy policy decisions have left Canada unable to fully capitalize on the global energy crisis.

With conflict disrupting supplies through the Strait of Hormuz and global markets scrambling for reliable energy, countries like the United States, Qatar, and Australia are stepping in to fill the gap.

But Canada, with the third-largest oil reserves in the world, is still struggling to get its resources to global markets.

How did this happen?

What decisions led to this moment?

And what does it mean for Canada’s future economy?

We examine the missed opportunities, the infrastructure battles, and the global energy landscape that is shifting faster than many Canadians realize.

Because moments like this reveal something important:

When the world needs energy, the countries that built the infrastructure ahead of time are the ones that benefit.

And the countries that didn’t… are left watching.
