When it comes to climate policy, the "What about China?" excuse simply doesn't cut it. @RossBelot writes for @natobserver nationalobserver.com/2024/10/08/opi…

my latest piece in the National Observer detailing what a really really bad idea it is for Doug Ford to suggest disrupting energy across Ontario’s border. #cdnpoli #Ontario #dougford nationalobserver.com/2024/12/18/ana…

A great way to start the year with four of Sara Burant and my collaborative translations from Paul Éluard's La Vie immédiate published by Rob McLennan in his wonderful online journal periodicities: a journal of poetry and poetics.periodicityjournal.blogspot.com/2025/01/paul-e…

I have a piece in Maclean’s Magazine explaining why the oilsands boom ended and isn't coming back. And why Trump tariffs have nothing to do with that. macleans.ca/economy/why-ca…

Pierre Poilievre has proposed large-scale oil sands investments. But Ross Belot, a former oil exec, says it's a bad idea—because production will decline no matter what Canada does. macleans.ca/economy/why-ca…

My latest National Observer piece suggesting the lack of leadership from our political leaders is doing a great disservice to our oil workers nationalobserver.com/2025/07/31/opi…

my latest….oil is going to decline but the oilsands will still keep producing. Stop talking about pipelines and figure how to do more with what we have. #Cdnpoli #oilsands #ABpoli #TMX nationalobserver.com/2025/09/19/opi…

ross belot The new Imperial Oil is essentially a collection of operating plants run out of “global business centres.” That is, not run from Canada or by Canadians - the clearest sign yet that Cda’s century-and-a-half-long oil story is drawing to a close. nationalobserver.com/2025/10/03/ana…
