Enbridge CEO Greg Ebel just sent a chilling message to Ottawa: fix Canada’s energy policies — or watch billions in investment and thousands of jobs vanish to the United States.

In this episode of The Northern Bridge, we break down what Ebel meant when he said, “No company will build a pipeline to nowhere.” From the federal tanker ban to emissions caps and carbon pricing, we explain how policy decisions have turned Canada’s once world-class energy sector into a global cautionary tale.

We also connect this story to Canada’s broader jobs crisis, the federal-provincial tensions between Alberta and Ottawa, and the real stakes for Indigenous participation and national unity.
