Episode notes
Prepare For A Carney-Led Energy Reset
- Expect Mark Carney to accelerate Canadian energy projects by neutralizing domestic green opposition.
- Doomberg cites the Alberta MOU and Carney's background as the mechanism to 'unstick' Alberta hydrocarbons and build pipelines.

- Doomberg argues a staged political crisis (Alberta separatism) is needed to create durable permitting reforms.
- He says a perceived real separatist threat makes accelerated approvals survive judicial and public pushback.

- Durable energy investment needs legal and cultural legitimacy, not quick executive dictates.
- Doomberg warns short political cycles and reversals make investors demand unimpeachable processes before funding big projects.
