During the recent federal election, candidates across the political spectrum talked about making Canada an energy superpower (again), with proposals including fast-tracking major energy projects and designating energy corridors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pundits also put forward previously \u201ctrial-ballooned\u201d ideas, such as an east-west pipeline and an electricity transmission grid. These suggestions come amid a growing acknowledgment that energy development projects must ensure communities are equipped to withstand energy transitions and that populations historically neglected in benefits and decisions \u2014 such as Indigenous Peoples \u2014 must be front and centre.
