The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels - Ottawa

The Ottawa event serves as the climactic conclusion to Epstein's Canadian tour, strategically positioned in the nation's capital where federal energy and environmental policies are formulated. Co-hosted by the prestigious Macdonald-Laurier Institute and the Curious Mind Group of Companies, this event targets Canada's policy-making establishment including federal civil servants, parliamentarians, think tank researchers, and energy sector representatives with offices in the capital region. The timing and venue selection reflect the tour's ultimate objective of influencing national policy discourse around energy development and environmental regulation. Attendees can expect Epstein to present his most policy-focused arguments about how cheap, reliable energy serves as the foundation for Canadian prosperity and global human development. The event will likely address specific Canadian energy sector challenges, including pipeline development, resource extraction regulations, and climate policy frameworks. Given Ottawa's concentration of policy expertise and decision-making authority, this presentation provides a unique opportunity for direct engagement between alternative energy policy perspectives and the individuals responsible for shaping Canada's national energy strategy. The Macdonald-Laurier Institute's involvement signals serious intellectual engagement with Epstein's thesis within established Canadian policy circles.
