Part 4/9:
Martin hones in on the narrative that has led Canada off its path of prosperity. In his view, there's an overwhelming focus on transitioning to renewable energy, centering discussions around ethical concerns for the climate and future generations. While these are noble aspirations, he argues that historical shifts in energy have never been made based purely on sentiment—a transition has always occurred when a new resource becomes more cost-effective than the existing one.

Yet, as global leaders express urgent needs for energy and resources, Canada appears hesitant, often overlooking its competitive edge in favor of a narrative that tells a different story about its future.
