  • Has Canada entered a new era of energy and economic development?

    Has Canada entered a new era of energy and economic development?
    Sep 24 2026
    Canada has the resources and expertise to become an energy superpower. But realizing that potential will depend on whether the country can attract investment, build major projects and create the reliable energy system our economy will need in the years ahead. In the first episode of The Growth Lens by Scotia Growth Institute, Peter Tertzakian, leading energy economist with Studio.Energy and the Institute’s Strategic Advisor, sits down the Institute’s Global Head of Research Patrick Bryden to discuss the changing landscape for Canada’s energy sector and the impact of the landmark Canada Investment Summit on the road ahead. They discuss the main takeaways from the summit – where Tertzakian moderated the energy panel – and what the federal government’s moves to court international investors could mean for Canada’s energy sector and broader economic resilience. They also discuss new policy proposals aimed at incentivizing investment, how Canada can shift from momentum to execution, moving quickly while upholding environmental protections and Indigenous consultation, and what the future holds for energy projects and other ambitious initiatives across the country. They also explore Canada’s progress on major projects so far and what else needs to be done for projects to go from ambition to reality.

    Trailer: The Growth Lens - Conversations on Economic Growth
    Sep 14 2026
    Canada is at a pivotal moment in a time of rapid economic and geopolitical change, and the country’s next chapter will be determined by the path taken today. The Scotia Growth Institute is dedicated to advancing conversations about the ideas, policies, investments, and innovations that drive long-term economic growth. The Growth Lens, a new podcast by the Scotia Growth Institute, explores the forces shaping economic growth in Canada and North America. Through conversations with business leaders, policymakers, economists, researchers, and innovators, the podcast examines the ideas and decisions that influence prosperity, competitiveness, and long-term economic performance. Each episode takes an in-depth look at topics ranging from productivity and investment to trade, infrastructure, technology, housing and energy. Rather than focusing on short-term news cycles, the podcast examines what drives sustainable growth and what it will take to build a stronger, more competitive economy for Canadians. The goal of The Growth Lens by the Scotia Growth Institute is to foster thoughtful conversation, challenge assumptions, and highlight practical solutions that can support economic growth and opportunity. At a time when countries around the world are competing for talent, capital, and innovation, understanding the drivers of growth in Canada has never been more important. This podcast provides a forum for those conversations, helping listeners better understand the opportunities, challenges, and choices that will shape Canada's economic future.
