Canadian Energy
and Resources.
We Need All Of It.
Hey leaders, did you know that Canadian energy is about more than just keeping the lights on? Or that now more than ever, we need our Canadian resources because of recent news with our closest ally? It’s about powering our future in ways that are affordable, respected, and full of opportunity. Whether you’re studying engineering, arts, business, communications, or anything in between, this affects you. Let’s break it down:
Affordability
Are you feeling the pressure on your wallet? Trust us, we do too. Everything is getting more expensive. But we can ease the burden together by supporting Canada’s energy and resource sectors. By backing Canadian resources and energy, we keep things affordable—whether that’s heating your home, fueling travel, or even covering the cost of your Wi-Fi. We need all our energy and resources to preserve our money for what really matters to us, like weekend trips, concerts, or, you know, textbooks.
Respect
It’s all about respect, right? If you didn’t know, Canada’s energy and resources are a global asset. When we’re on our game and leading from the front, we earn the world’s respect. But if we’re not leading, we lose our seat at the global table. We need all of Canada’s energy and resource sectors and the support of Canadians to earn that seat instead of being left on the outside looking in.
Opportunity
You know how coffee gets you through those late-night assignments? Well, the energy sector does the same for AI, automation, and other cutting-edge technologies. None of that is possible without a strong economy, powered by a robust energy or resource sector. The best part? A strong and innovative energy and resource sector creates new jobs—and YOU could be next in line to fill them.
Your Future, Your Choice.
Pipelines, ports, railways, and roads – they might sound boring to you, but they’re the backbone of everything that keeps Canada running. If our generation wants to thrive in Canada, we need it to be strong, independent, and competitive. We can do that by building the infrastructure that powers our country. More resources and energy projects mean better jobs, easier travel, and even affordable housing. The truth is, we can’t afford to wait. Delaying these projects holds us back from the growth and stability we deserve.
We need policies that fast-track approval. The quicker we act, the sooner we can secure the future we want – whether it’s a steady career, lower gas prices, or being able to live where we want without stressing about rent. It’s time to take control and build the economy and opportunities we deserve.
So, which side do you want to be on? A Canada full of possibilities, or one that just sits back and watches?
The Bottom Line
We’re at a crossroads. If we don’t build up our energy and resource sectors—including and not limited to oil, gas, mining, hydro, forestry, agriculture and nuclear—we risk falling behind. That means tighter wallets, being sidelined on the global stage, and fewer opportunities for both our generation AND the next generation.
This isn’t just about energy; it’s about the life young Canadians deserve to live in the Canada they deserve.
The future isn’t waiting for us to catch up.
