Alberta has a crap ton of capital, engineers, project management, and construction skills that would go a long way in building a new energy future. And some companies have largely taken that challenge on (windmill views notwithstanding).
I don't think someone like Carney saying "Hey, there is a transition coming, and we need to get ahead of it" is wrong or bad.

Transitioning to a low carbon future requires natural resources like lithium & many other critical minerals. Canada has vast deposits and no real way to bring them to the world wide market.
The same argument that applies to exporting oil & gas applies to exporting those resources as well.
