Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Power Struggle, Stewart Muir is joined by Nicole Brossard, Vice President for BC at Global Public Affairs, for a candid and far-reaching conversation about one of Canada’s biggest missed opportunities: the false divide between technology and natural resources.From her deep experience in federal politics, public affairs, and economic development, Brossard challenges the outdated narrative that Canada must choose between innovation and extraction — and shows how integrating tech with resource industries is already driving solutions across climate, labour, and investment.They discuss:Why government silos are stalling innovation.How foreign investment is slipping away — and what to do about it.The role of First Nations in reshaping project development.What the post-secondary system must fix before AI changes everything.And why Canada can’t afford to keep punching below its weight.This isn’t just a debate about policy — it’s about building a smarter, stronger future.Watch now to explore how Canada can break free from its false binaries — and finally start competing on the world stage.Send us a textThe energy conversation is polarizing.
