Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS

- •Canada, a major non-OPEC producer, calculates the effects of a weakened cartel on its exports: risk of price war if OPEC overproduction accelerates
- •Canadian coverage explicitly notes the Iran-US war context as triggering a 'historic energy shock' that amplifies instability created by the UAE's departure
BIASES
Wire service relay without a developed Canadian-specific angleAbsence of Canadian energy sector experts on specific consequences for Alberta or oil sands viability
