Tony Keller, columnist with The Globe and Mail, joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss whether Canada can overcome decades of red tape, regulation, and internal barriers that make it almost impossible to build pipelines, mines, energy projects, and major infrastructure.
The conversation examines how Canada has made it increasingly difficult to get things done, from interprovincial trade barriers to professional mobility restrictions. Keller explains why Canada has gone in the wrong direction over the last 10 to 20 years, and what it would take to reverse course.
They also discuss how pressure from Donald Trump has forced Canada to confront problems it long ignored, why provincial fragmentation weakens the country, and whether a national energy strategy is inevitable, even if it is called by another name.
This is a pragmatic conversation about building, governing, and whether Canada can finally move past its own self-inflicted obstacles.
