On a recent earnings call, Greg Ebel seemed to be admitting that a new West Coast pipeline would not be economically viable. Those comments contrast sharply with the “Build Canada Now” open letter he and other oil and gas executives signed in March 2025 and then reiterated in September.

    Uh, did people think “socialize the risks, privatize the profits” was just a slogan?

    you mean the same Enbridge tat renamed to enercare because of public hatred for them?

    the same Enbridge that buys water heaters for $700, then rents them for $6000 with bullshit contracts, and forced new home construction to also RENT appliances in a BRAND NEW house? yeah… buy a house, get fucked with a rental contract you can’t cancel without a buyout of the entire contract…

      That sounds like a contract that any judge should be able to throw out in under 30 seconds

        I wish lol…a lot of people don’t even know they are renting because of some bullshit agreement they made where they were able to apply the rentals directly to people’s gas bills.

        hundreds of thousands of pissed off people…and nothing was done but an investigation and ohh look. they did nothing wrong. check Reddit for enercare // Enbridge and rentals, lol…it’s nonstop pissed people being scammed with fees, and rental charges etc…new homes, old homes transferred to new owner (the rental transfers too…)

          Yeah that woman just needs to find creative ways to sabotage that thing over and over. Make the thing so fucking expensive for them that they cancel the contract themselves.

          That this shit is legal in Canada is just amazing to me
