Carney talks about Canada’s ‘energy sovereignty.’ But what does that really mean?

Soon after Donald Trump took office for a second time, with punishing tariffs and menacing talk of Canada as “the 51st state,” this country’s leaders began to invoke the idea of “energy sovereignty.”

It was a response to the fact that the biggest consumer of Canadian oil — the U.S. — was becoming increasingly hostile and erratic, an economic quandary that could only be managed by seeking new customers.


Carney? He still believes we should all be driving electric cars.
