Abacus Data Poll: A First Look at the Political Opinion Impact of the Canada–Alberta Energy MOU
Poll: Less than two-thirds of Canadians are aware of the Canada-Alberta MoU, the major energy and climate policy agreement aimed at strengthening Canada's energy sector, diversifying export markets, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. #CdnPoli 🇨🇦
The Canada-Alberta Energy MOU, which includes a new oil pipeline and a pause on clean electricity rules, has not yet shifted public opinion or political landscape, according to an Abacus Data Poll. Awareness of the deal is high, with most Canadians open to the idea of a new pipeline, though regional dynamics and political commitments shape reactions. The deal is seen as a pragmatic compromise by many, with support for the idea of a pipeline higher than opposition in every region. However, the deal has not changed vote intention or government approval, and the political risks are not evenly distributed, with potential future tensions in British Columbia and Quebec.
