Singh says pipelines would not be first priority for NDP energy policy

Jagmeet Singh, NDP Leader, prioritizes an east-west clean electricity corridor over pipelines for expanding Canada’s energy market, stating that community acceptance and environmental impact are crucial criteria for any pipeline projects.
Singh emphasized the need for a clean electricity grid connecting provinces with low-cost energy sources like Manitoba, British Columbia, and Quebec to create economic opportunities amid rising American tariffs on Canadian exports.
Singh stated that an NDP government would utilize Canadian steel and aluminum for public infrastructure while proposing enhancements to employment insurance and the work-sharing program for affected workers.
Other political leaders, including Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Liberal candidates Chrystia Freeland and Frank Baylis, are also outlining their plans for energy expansion, focusing on pipelines and hydro power.
