After a brutal decade under former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s draconian anti-development policies, there’s real optimism in the western oilpatch again. Paul Colborne, CEO of Calgary-based Surge Energy, tells Brian Lilley why he’s convinced that Prime Minister Mark Carney is serious about boosting oil production, including with more pipelines, and why investors are clamouring to get in on it. He explains why he even sees the benefit of the carbon-tax and emissions-sequestering conditions in Carney’s memorandum of understanding with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. And why he doesn’t believe British Columbia, First Nations or some anti-oil Liberal MPs will stand in the prime minister’s way of using resources to get us out of the disastrous, money-printing economic dead end that the last prime minister left behind. (Recorded May 22, 2026.)
