🇨🇦 Ottawa finally admits its own environmental review process kills energy projects

The feds are now proposing to shift pipeline approvals back to the energy regulator and away from the Impact Assessment Agency — the same bureaucratic weapon they built to strangle resource development for years. Translation: even the Liberals know their legislative maze was designed to obstruct, not assess. This isn't reform, it's damage control dressed as efficiency. They created the gridlock, watched tens of billions in capital flee, and now want credit for undoing a fraction of their own sabotage.

Meanwhile Western producers are supposed to applaud while Ottawa retains veto power and the same ideological appointees stay embedded in the system. The review structure changes, the anti-development bias doesn't. Energy sovereignty was never the goal — control was.
