Alberta’s pipeline promise might sound like progress, but Matt Gurney isn’t buying the headlines — not yet. In this episode, Matt explains why every shiny new deal is still haunted by old patterns: conflicting Indigenous leadership, legal gridlock, and a federal system too tangled to function.

He also gives a behind-the-scenes look at Read the Line, where he’s publishing bold takes on FIFA, China, and Canadian identity — deliberately shaking up the news cycle. With insight and a little irreverence, Matt unpacks what’s really at stake in resource development, and why calling something a “major project” doesn’t make it smart.

A sharp conversation that challenges lazy narratives and asks better questions.
