In 2017, Trudeau emphasized the importance of Canadian oil, stating that no country would leave 173 billion barrels of oil untapped, advocating for responsible resource development.
Despite early support, Trudeau's government faced backlash from the oilpatch after cancelling the Northern Gateway project and suggesting a phase-out of oilsands production.
Although the purchase of the Trans-Mountain Pipeline was initially seen as a boost, subsequent emissions policies led to significant discontent within the oil industry.
Trudeau's oil and gas emissions cap was particularly contentious, as many in the oilpatch viewed it as a limiting factor on production, ignoring global demand dynamics.
