Pipeline Politics, U.S. Trade Talks & Summer McIntosh Makes History
Description
Today's episode of Scott Fox After 9 begins with some well-deserved praise for Summer McIntosh, who made history by breaking another world record in the pool, and for Canada's Men's National Soccer Team after an impressive run at the FIFA World Cup.
The main focus is Canada's proposed new pipeline agreement between Alberta and Ottawa. Hear from Dan McTeague of Canadians for Affordable Energy, who has analyzed the numbers and raises serious concerns about what the project could ultimately cost Canadian taxpayers. Former Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault also explains why he opposes the plan. Plus, U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra discusses the potential for a new Canada–U.S. trade deal and why he believes some Canadian politicians have made negotiations more difficult. Finally, hear Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre speaking to thousands at the Calgary Stampede as he outlines his plan to restore affordability for Canadians.
