Taking Manitoba in the Wrong Direction
Industry insiders claim that the Energy East Pipeline will create tens of thousands of jobs across Canada and add tens of billions of dollars to GDP. Our study not only puts these claims into question, it highlights important considerations such as the Social Cost of Carbon, Canada’s commitment to fight climate change and the economic viability of heavy crude production under current pricing regimes. The report also explains how Manitoba’s ability to develop and expand renewable energy sources offers more potential to create decent jobs and a more sustainable economy.
