This week, the #ARCEnergyIdeas podcast unpacks ‘Canadian carbon competitiveness,’ arguing it must keep Canada fiscally attractive for oil & gas. It also highlights the federal government’s mixed signals on carbon policy www.arcenergyinstitute.com/what-is-cana...

Rob West from Thunder Said Energy is our guest this week on #ARCEnergyIdeas podcast—talking EVs and solar to oil demand, coal, LNG, & the power grid. Rob also shares his view on whether Canada should build a major CCS project alongside the oil pipeline www.arcenergyinstitute.com/rob-wests-to...

Our “Predictions for the Year Ahead” episode is here—an #ARCEnergyIdeas pod tradition. But fair warning: this year’s outlook is fuzzier than usual, with uncertainty coming from many directions #energy #oilandgas #geopolitics

Just out! A special episode of #ARCEnergyIdeas podcast to discuss the U.S. intervention in Venezuela and what it could mean for Canada’s geopolitics and oil markets

What a whirlwind 2025 has been! Thank you to everyone who tuned in, shared, and supported the podcast this year. Wishing you a very happy holiday season—we’ll be back in the New Year with more great conversations on Canadian energy.

This week on #ARCEnergyIdeas: a landmark moment for Canada—our first LNG cargo sailed from Kitimat, BC this past summer. We’re joined by LNG Canada President & CEO Chris Cooper to unpack what it means #LNG #CNDpoli www.arcenergyinstitute.com/first-cargo-...

Here is another view of Mount Assiniboine. This time on a clear day from Sunshine Village ski hill. I took the picture last weekend When you do get lucky enough to visit Sunshine on a clear day, the views are amazing!

New #ARCEnergyIdeas dives into the Alberta–Ottawa MOU. We recap the announcement— a tectonic shift in relations with national opportunity—break down the deal, and highlight what media coverage missed. Joined by Calgary Chamber CEO, Deborah Yedlin.

How will rising electricity demand be met? A new study finds that renewables all grow, but wind is the dominant new capacity #cndpoli #Renewables www.arcenergyinstitute.com/new-canadian...

I collaborated with Peter Tertzakian's studio.energy on a 5-part miniseries on how to grow Canada’s LNG potential. The 5th and final chapter has been released “A Review of Fiscal Terms in the Context of Global Competitiveness." Download here: www.cogem.energy/publications

On the latest #ARCEnergyIdeas podcast, we dive into Canada’s latest nation-building projects. . We also unpack the @iea.org WEO 2025, where the current policy case shows oil & gas still rising, renewables growing & describes AI energy growth as explosive
www.arcenergyinstitute.com/canadas-new-...

After a 5-year gap, @iea.org's 2025 WEO returns the Current Policies Scenario (CPS)—showing demand under today's policies, a ‘base case’ in my view. Clean energy grows, but so does oil & gas to 2050. The STEPS assumes additional climate policy, O&G demand declines, but slowly

This week on #ARCEnergyIdeas podcast, we unpack Canada’s Budget 2025 — new tax rules for clean energy & manufacturing, some help for LNG (though not enough in our view), & some remaining unknowns on Canada's Climate Competitiveness Strategy #Cdnpoli www.arcenergyinstitute.com/our-take-on-...

We sit down with Jason Chee‑Aloy of Power Advisory to talk about the fast-growing electricity demand in Canada and the generation projects that are needed to match that load growth — from Churchill River to a massive offshore wind project #ARCEnergyIdeas www.arcenergyinstitute.com/canadian-ele...

Latest #ARCEnergyIdeas podcast: we discuss Mark Carney’s Asia LNG push — 50 Mt/year by 2030 and doubling by 2040 — and what’s next for pipelines. I share a candid take on a CBC interview & how climate coverage misses the mark www.arcenergyinstitute.com/lng-ambition...

I teamed up with Peter Tertzakian’s Studio.Energy
on a 5-part series on growing Canada’s LNG industry. Chapter IV, Navigating Indigenous Rights in BC Resource Development, is out now. Download it and earlier chapters here: studio.energy/publications/

This week, #ARCEnergyIdeas pod, we ask: What’s Holding Back Canada’s Mining? Can Canada grow critical minerals while competing with China and the US's generous support for their mining industries? Photinie Koutsavlis, Mining Association of Canada is guest www.arcenergyinstitute.com/whats-holdin...

Canada’s Energy Ambition: From Market Hostage to Global Player

Canada is still a market hostage in oil & gas—passive and reliant on the U.S. On this week’s #ARCEnergyIdeas podcast, Peter Tertzakian lays out 4 levels of ambition: Market Hostage ➡️ Competitor ➡️ Negotiator ➡️ Aggressor. Which path will we take? #Cndpoli www.arcenergyinstitute.com/canadas-ener...

Finally made it to Mount Assiniboine, the Matterhorn of the Rockies! At over 3,600 m, its sharp peak is one of the most iconic sights in the Rockies. I’ve admired it for years from Sunshine Village, but seeing it up close was something else. Even with a 40 km hike and a heavy pack, it was worth it!

This week on #ARCEnergyIdeas, Tamarack Valley Energy CEO Brian Schmidt joins to discuss Canada’s #oilandgas investment potential, technology, and why CEOs signed a letter to the Prime Minister.

This week #ARCEnergyIdeas dives into how Canada is fast-tracking major projects with Dave Nikolejsin, McCarthy Tétrault. The conversation includes MPO, Dawn Farrell as CEO, Indigenous rights & project permitting. 5 projects announced so far www.arcenergyinstitute.com/canadas-push...

Ksi Lisims LNG secures approvals from B.C. & Ottawa with conditions. At ~1.6 Bcf/d, it, along with other projects, helps to elevate Canada as a major LNG exporter—boosting sovereignty, trade, gas prices & the economy. FID still ahead, but this marks a pivotal milestone!

This week Eric Nuttall from Ninepoint Partners shares the investor view on Canada #oilandgas: Are Canadian companies undervalued? commodity prices, OPEC, M&A & how to fill new pipelines if investors do not support production growth #ARCEnergyIdeas www.arcenergyinstitute.com/the-canadian...

We’re Back! Catching Up on Summer’s Energy Headlines

We’re back! Catch up on the biggest energy headlines from the summer with #ARCEnergyIdeas podcast — including geopolitics/geoeconomics, oilpatch M&A, Canada's Nation Nation Building plans, tariffs, and more. Back to weekly podcast cadence this fall

As summer winds down, I’m reflecting the beautiful places I have visited. A summer highlight: visiting Skoki Lodge—near-luxury backcountry lodge with no running water or electricity, operating the same way for nearly a century. My first summer visit, and well worth the trip!

After years of trying — and failing — to get there, I finally made it to Lake O’Hara in Yoho National Park. This true gem of the Canadian Rockies was worth every bit of the wait. Now I understand why Group of Seven artist J.E.H. MacDonald fell in love with it over a century ago.

Canada Searches for New Energy Markets in a Quest for Superpower Status A plan to export more Canadian energy would have consequences for the U.S., its top foreigner buyer.

Canada’s push to expand oil & gas exports beyond the US has been largely overlooked south of the border so far. This Barron’s piece by @pattidomm.bsky.social explores Canada’s superpower ambitions—with quotes from me #cndpoli #oil #gas #cleanenergy
