The Global Energy Show kicks off Tuesday with an address from the federal natural resources minister, followed by sessions featuring a diverse slate of political and corporate leaders from Canada and abroad.
Along with Tim Hodgson’s speech on “building an energy superpower,” Day 1 of the three-day conference is set to include discussions with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and, later in the day, B.C. Energy Minister Adrian Dix.

At last year’s event, Smith made an early push for a new bitumen pipeline to the northwest coast, something the B.C. government has staunchly opposed.
The Alberta government is aiming to file an application by July 1 to the federal major projects office for the pipeline, which so far has no private-sector backer.

The annual trade show and conference is expected to draw 30,000 attendees, many from overseas.
The event takes place as ongoing strife in the Middle East rattles energy markets and the federal government looks to bolster Canada’s status as a reliable global energy supplier.
Is it any surprise there are no private investors wanting to back this pipeline. With a Government that speaks out of the sides of their mouths, and makes promises they just won’t back with action, I wouldn’t put out a single dollar either with ZERO guarantees a pipeline will ever get built. This Liberal Government has done a great job scareing them all away.
“which so far has no private-sector backer.”
Because no one believes this will ever get built. Carney is already flip-flopping on it.
