Enbridge’s CEO has a lot to say about Canada’s lack of LNG development

It’s almost as if he’s making a business case for LNG. Imagine that. You know, the same thing the prime minister said there was no business case for? This is the verbatim speech he gave on Friday in Toronto.

Energy Transition Podcast Ep. 84: Coal is back – in fact, it was never gone.

Here’s something new – the Kindersley area took over half the dollars in the Crown petroleum right land sale last week. That’s highly unusual.

And, of course the Just about but not quite complete TMX pipeline will desecrate a sacred site.

    1. What a great clip.
      I have to push aside my complaints about the accuracy of Sitting Bull speaking perfect English or at least the idea that he’d have understood many of the flowery terms and words thrown his way but that doesn’t take away from the truth of the colonel’s position. Natives didn’t just appear from nowhere. They fought with other tribes and to pretend that they all lived like hippies on a commune for thousands of years before Europeans arrived is amazingly dumb.
      I like it and will now have to go watch that show 🙂

      1. You’ll want to read up on the Iroquoi. They probably have the all-time record for genociding other tribges/nations, even before whithey showed up. The history of New France is the history of that small colony allying with other Indian tribes or Nations to defeat them. New France was almost wiped out by the Iroquoi. Oh, and then they allied with the Brits. I guess Canada’s indigenous peoples should remember that they owe much of their present situation to those Iroquoi

  1. So big chief wants more wampum to allow oil and gas to flow through their reserve?
    We should really take this seriously as he’s a “knowledge keeper” which is short hand for “I make stuff up and call it history”.
    I’ll believe some small part of what they say about the land when they stop using oil, gas and all modern comforts that come from oil/gas and electricity.

    1. Beat me to it. Knowledge Keeper, in a culture that had no written language. I love the combination of numbers, letter and icons the media uses to write a Native word. Q7tks’lsx’tl.

      It’s all shorthand for , give me money. I suppose sacredness has a price.

      1. We had compulsory indigenous training at work. The package is government-approved. There was a section about these knowledge-keepers and that they learn every word without error from generation to generation and it’s I-kid-you-not 100% accurate, etc etc. I don’t remember seing a section about slavery, torture and human sacrifice though. They could at least have listed the number of saints they had the Church cannonize subsequent to being torture and killed by Indians.

  2. Meh.
    Still playing lip service to the fraud of the climate change scam and pretending that “something must be done”.

    Energy companies need to push back against the fraud instead of trying to appease the fraudsters.

  3. “It’s a serious law,” said Mike McKenzie, a SecwĂ©pemc knowledge keeper.”

    Who elected you to anything, Mikey? What are the criteria for being a ‘knowledge keeper’? How do we know that you’re not just making this BS up the way you people invented a fairy tale of hundreds of childrens graves?

    1. I wonder why the “knowledge keepers” don’t fix all the water problems on the reserves …. asking for a friend??

  4. Are you sure this speech happened, Brian?

    I mean, I checked the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers site, and it’s not there. I’m so surprised! (Eye roll)

    But I guess they don’t want to risk anything that could run their “Indigenous Engagement” cart off the iron horse rails.

      1. Yeah, I was just being a wise guy.

        I’m sure CAPP will get around posting it one of these days …. in 2025.

  5. Read about half way through the Enbridge speech. Stopped when it became clear the CEO is on board the emissions are bad train. What hope is there when a potential leader of the counter-offensive to the climate insanity group-think subscribes to the fundamental error? The only salvation will come from the bottom up, as seems to be starting in the UK, when common people say that it’s all completely nuts and just f-off.

  6. Ancient law that if you disrespect a church (or about 80 of them) then pipelines will grow through your land.

    Deus vult.

    Btw, just saw a “climate change is a hoax” bumper sticker. In Edmonton of all places. Maybe there is hope

  7. Hey Brian, do you think the Kindersley take in the latest land sale had anything to do with Viking oil? From some mapping I’ve seen I’m remembering a trend that runs near there. Surge Energy has used herringbone HZ’s to take Tier 2 & 3 zones to Tier 1 economics…so maybe tight oil formation + new tech to drain it = race to tie up as much trend acreage as possible. Might even make it more water flood-able if the perms not too bad. That’s my wild swing in the dark for today.
