Adam Waterous thinks the country is finally ready to realize it.\nIn the third episode of our special summer innovation series, Can Canada Meet the Moment?, host Amber Kanwar sits down with Adam Waterous, CEO & Managing Partner of Waterous Energy Fund, to discuss why he believes Canada has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become a global energy superpower.\nWaterous lays out his “down five, up five” thesis: over the next decade, he expects U.S. oil production to fall by roughly five million barrels a day while Canada has the potential to add five million—doubling its production and putting it in a position to compete with Saudi Arabia as one of the world’s largest oil producers.\nBut getting there won’t be simple. Waterous breaks down the compromises behind Canada’s new energy ambitions, why the public sector is taking a bigger role in pipeline development, the regulatory and tax hurdles still facing producers, and what needs to happen to attract investment and actually fill those pipelines. He also explains why he believes the shift could be transformational for the Canadian economy and fundamentally change Canada’s leverage with the United States.\nPlus, Waterous discusses how he’s positioning his own companies for this new era, why long-life oil assets matter, what he looks for when buying energy assets, and where he sees opportunities after years of consolidation.\nCan Canada meet the moment? Waterous is unequivocal: he believes Canada’s position in the world has never been stronger.\nThis interview was recorded during the Calgary Stampede, prior to Greenfire Resources announcing its $1.28-billion cash deal to acquire privately held heavy oil producer Connacher Oil and Gas Ltd on July 13, 2026.\n\n\nTimestamps\n00:00 Intro and sponsor message\n02:44 Canada’s energy moment\n03:23 The “down five, up five” thesis\n06:46 The GDP impact of growth\n08:03 The federal shift on energy\n13:37 Public vs. private sector...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/er9NR63MREFV6i2rlZX8f-yMY6gNSK83fNUOzBPoSt8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zZmQy/OWMwNmEzY2Y0YTg1/NjM4MjQ3Y2NjMWYy/Zjk1My5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
