To make the day even better, The Honourable Erin O’Toole was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to speak with us. His remarks were thoughtful, balanced, and deeply pragmatic. He brought a unique perspective shaped by work in corporate law, energy regulation, politics and now global intelligence with ADIT.
🤝 Emphasized that Canada must adopt a more strategic, interest-driven approach in foreign affairs to maintain influence with the U.S.
🌍 Highlighted rising geopolitical instability — from U.S. politics to China’s assertiveness — and the risks this poses to global trade.
🛡️ Argued that Canada needs to strengthen its sovereign capabilities in defense manufacturing, energy, food security, and digital infrastructure.
⚡ Warned that Canada’s grid and critical infrastructure are increasingly vulnerable; called for treating the electricity grid as national security infrastructure so Canada can “buy Canadian.”
🔋 Stressed that Canada’s energy transition must be practical, bipartisan, and worker-focused, leveraging LNG, nuclear, hydro, and critical minerals.
🌐 Noted Canada’s potential to lead North American decarbonization through clean power exports and stronger east-west transmission links.
📉 Urged realism: even major Canadian climate achievements barely move the global needle, so policies must align with economic and social realities to avoid backlash.
