High oil & gas prices as a result of the U.S. war with Iran do NOT make Canadian oil, gas & LNG projects more likely – but oil and gas companies will profit off price speculation at the expense of Canadians (via resulting inflation).

Gettin ‘er done in NS !
Not a matter of should: it WILL do this.
Renewables were already outcompeting oil and gas. No country saw Cuba & said 'oil reliance is good.'
The current price volatility actually makes long term Canadian LNG and oil projects LESS viable as it speeds that renewable transition. #CDNpoli #CDNmedia
(2/2) "Newfoundland and Labrador’s absence from this agreement is concerning. It will be important to ensure all Atlantic Canadian provinces are part of these conversations,” says Lisa Mitchell, Executive Director at East Coast Environmental Law.
"We urge the Government of NL to act quickly to join this initiative & ensure that Newfoundlanders & Labradorians also reap the benefits of a Canada-first energy corridor,” says Shauna Kelly, NL Offshore Wind Coordinator.

(2/2) Find out more (WITH SOURCES) about why new oil and gas projects to NOT have a business case and polling: www.sierraclub.ca/lng-national...
Find out more about speculation and fossil fuel prices: www.falseprofits.ca
The following things are likely to happen: The price of fossil fuels in Canada will rise - increasing the cost of living. This is only in part because of supply shocks, but largely because of speculation: In other words, oil and gas corporations will make a lot of profit off Canadians via inflated prices that are only partially the result of actual supply problems. This speculation was what really happened after Russia invaded Ukraine and it helped cost Canadians $12,000 per household (see FalseProfits.ca). Oil and gas interests will use price increases to try to pitch massive oil and LNG (liquefied natural gas) projects even though those projects take years to come online (they’re betting you won’t do the math on the years). There will be plenty of vague statements that the world ‘needs our oil and gas.’ But new oil and LNG projects STILL don’t have a business case. Remember all the LNG projects that gas interests said Europe needed after Russia invaded Ukraine? That never happened? None of them had a business case and they still don’t because: When oil and gas prices rise oil and gas consuming nations and regions speed up their transition to renewable energy - because renewables are the cheapest form of energy and already out-compete oil and gas, because countries are electrifying, and because battery and grid systems mean renewables no longer need baseload power. That makes oil and LNG projects in Canada LESS viable.
Oil and gas interests are about to mislead Canadians.
Help stop that and talk to others! 58% of Canadians say U.S. aggression makes the transition to renewables in Canada MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER (only 11% say less).
But there’s still plenty of people who need to hear the message - from you!

"58% said events in Greenland and Venezuela made the transition off fossil fuels “more important than ever”, compared to only 11% who said it’s now less important" #CDNpoli
Great to chat with @vocmnews.bsky.social!
More here: vocm.com/2026/02/28/2...
"67 per cent of respondents say reliance on oil and gas increases the risk of international conflict, and 59 per cent believe Canada would be safer if it produced more renewable energy in light of recent global events."
