Canada's Pipeline Project Faces Scrutiny Over Lack of Evidence
Canada's 'hive mind' has been accused of promoting a pipeline project without proper scrutiny. The project, led by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, aims to double oil production and increase exports to Asia. However, critics argue that the consensus around this project is based on assumptions rather than evidence.
The proponents of the project claim that Asian markets will demand more oil, but experts at Energi Media have questioned this assumption. They point out that China's oil demand peaked in 2025 and is expected to decline before 2030, while India is following a similar electrification trajectory.
Despite these concerns, the pipeline project has gained widespread support from politicians, business leaders, and journalists. However, critics argue that this consensus is based on repetition rather than evidence, with industry proxies and shills being platformed by the national media without any pushback or hard questions.
