Canada Wants Pipelines. Enbridge CEO: Private Capital Still Isn't Sold.

Canada just announced two new pipelines — so where's private capital? The CEO of one of Canada's largest pipeline operators weighs in. On this special episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Greg Ebel, President and CEO of Enbridge (TSX: ENB, NYSE: ENB), live from the Calgary Stampede for his first interview since the pipeline announcements — including the Northern Shield West Coast pipeline and the Alberta-Ontario pipeline proposal. Greg explains why Enbridge isn't a proponent on either project, and why he thinks the industry's focus on pipelines has been "ass-backwards" — the real bottleneck, he argues, is production, not pipes.Greg also revisits comments from last fall, when he called the last decade a "disaster" for Canadian competitiveness. He explains what's shifted since then, why governments are now racing to make private capital more attractive, and what a "grand bargain" on the North Coast tanker ban could look like if Ottawa wants the private sector to lead.The conversation turns to Enbridge's own capital priorities. Most of the company's $40 billion project backlog is being deployed in the United States, where taxes are lower and regulatory approval is faster — but Greg discusses whether that balance could tilt back toward Canada in the years ahead, and how AI and data centre demand are reshaping the way investors value pipeline infrastructure and Enbridge stock.Finally, Greg lays out what he sees as Canada's real opportunity: if producers get the regulatory certainty they need, he believes Western Canada could add two million more barrels a day. He also weighs in on whether Enbridge would ever consider building a greenfield pipeline again.A special thank you to our partners at ATB Financial.
