The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that amid tariffs, economic uncertainty and annexation threats, climate change is being overlooked in Canada. A Globe editorial says pipelines support is growing, with both Liberal and Conservative leaders aiming to boost oil and gas production. Canadians still care about the environment, but they see the need to balance priorities. A recent poll found that nearly three-quarters support a new east-west pipeline, while half want to keep a carbon price on industrial emissions. In Quebec, Premier Francois Legault has shown new openness to a pipeline crossing the province. Canada requires a strong economy independent of coercive neighbours, which is crucial for national interest. Recent months highlight the need for a revised national energy policy that balances oil and gas with climate change efforts. For Canada, this involves opening overseas markets for oil and natural gas, cutting dependence on the United States, and addressing climate change to boost trade with the European Union. There is public support for a new energy policy. The need is urgent. What is missing is leadership that articulates and fights for the national interest. Both the Tories and Grits fall short.
