🇨🇦 Double the grid by 2050, announce almost nothing today

Ottawa wants Canadians to clap for a grand nation-building energy plan while offering no new money and five projects that barely match the hype. Tim Hodgson is rolling out federal backing for interties, but the only one with real scale is the Saskatchewan-Manitoba link at up to two gigawatts. The Alberta-BC boost is just 150 megawatts, Alberta-Saskatchewan adds 250, and the rest is more bureaucratic choreography dressed up as strategy, as reported.

Mark Carney says Canada must double the grid by 2050 for EVs, heat pumps and AI, because the ruling class never met an energy-intensive social engineering scheme it did not love. Translation: Ottawa piles on electrification mandates, then scrambles to retrofit a country whose provinces already trade more power with the U.S. than with each other. Classic globalist management: centralize, regulate, announce, consult, repeat. If this were actually about national strength, they would stop sabotaging affordable energy first and stop pretending vague federal support is a substitute for sovereign infrastructure policy.
