Tariffs, Politics, and Canada’s Energy Future (ft. Dr. Henry Conter)
Description
In the 42nd installment of The Atomic Exchange Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Goran Calic and Michael Tadrous welcome Dr. Henry Conter, vice president of the Eglinton-Lawrence Conservative Electoral District Association, delegate to the Conservative Party of Canada National Convention, who is also a practicing oncologist and hematologist. They trace Henry’s path into public life, ask what a healthy Canada-U.S. relationship should look like in a world of tariffs, and weigh Ontario’s rising electricity bills alongside AI’s fast-growing demand for power. The conversation focuses on competing through productivity rather than retaliation, where LNG, manufacturing, and nuclear fit in Canada’s toolkit, and how technologies like BWRX-300 and CANDU can anchor investment and exports, before closing on the capital and policy discipline Canada must attract to build at scale. Tune in for a candid, practical tour of policy, competitiveness, and the power system that underwrites both.
