Canada Powered by Women national event series — Powering prosperity: Shaping a sustainable energy future
Where the parties stand on energy: Breaking down the platforms, the debates, and what’s at stake
Energy policy is so tied to the economy it’s become central in this election and there are many contrasts in what this looks like depending on which party’s policy platform you are reading. It was a top issue in both the English and French-language leaders’ debates, shaping how each party framed the economy, trade, and Canada’s role in the world.
Federal leaders will debate this week — here’s what to watch on energy
Canada Powered by Women facilitates bold conversations, and these two debates are definitely going to be bold. We’re hearing from sources that some of the parties may release their fully costed platforms before debate night, meaning each promise would come with a breakdown of what it costs and how they plan to pay for it.
Canada’s energy conversation is overdue, and women are leading it
For too long, energy has been treated like a regional issue. Or a technical one. Or something best left to industry or government. But for millions of Canadian women, energy has become personal. This week Canada Powered by Women released national research that brings this into sharp focus.
Uniting women through bold conversations
We represent Canadian women who believe sound energy policies are vital for the continuing economic prosperity of our country. We’re driven by the unshakable belief that a better world is possible and we can make it happen… together.

“We share concerns about the energy sector, the economy, the environment, our social programs, and about how Canada is experienced by the rest of the world… the more we talked, the more we started asking, "I wonder how other women are feeling? I wonder what they’re thinking?”
— Dr. Lucy Miller, Canada Powered by Women founding member
