By Pierre PoilievreCanada has achieved the impossible in energy economics: Our consumers pay sky-high costs and our energy companies get rock-bottom prices. Canadian consumers could pay less, and our companies could make more, if Canadians could sell energy to each other. Andrew Scheer proposed a Canadian solution: a National Energy Corridor. An east-west energy corridor could replace that foreign product with cleaner and cheaper Canadian energy, while boosting a Canadian industry that pays taxes toward national programs Quebecers enjoy, like Employment Insurance and the Canada Health Transfer. Ontario could pay less and Quebec could make more if an energy corridor connected them.
