#161 Why is Canada having an energy crisis in Alberta? We talk to two energy leaders in Canada to find out.

December 03, 2023

Heidi McKillop, movie producer Stranded Nation, and Terry Etam, author, stopped by the podcast, and we had a blast catching up and covering the renewable mandates being thrown at Alberta.


A little inside baseball: Heidi and Terry have been friends of the ENB podcast for a long time. Both are thought leaders impacting the global markets. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of our podcasts, and I walk away knowing more about the energy issues in Canada and how they affect the international markets.


Thank you, Heidi and Terry, for stopping by. I am looking forward to our next visit.
