The Culture and Politics of Building an Energy Superpower
Episode 66
Wednesday, 11 March, 2026

Canada stands at a critical juncture in the global energy landscape. In this inaugural episode of The Future of the Energy Transition expert series presented by Mackenzie Investments, Jackie Forrest, Executive Director at ARC Energy Research Institute, Dr. Bruce Lourie, President at Ivey Foundation, and John Cook, Senior VP & Portfolio Manager at Mackenzie Investments, explore the cultural and political hurdles to building a Canadian energy superpower. From addressing the "fiefdom" mentality of provincial electricity grids to the urgent need for "nation building" infrastructure like West Coast pipelines and LNG terminals, the conversation dissects how Canada can move beyond being an energy "satellite" of the U.S. to achieve true global energy influence and autonomy.
