I am happy to report that I’ve been working on a new postscript for Irving vs Irving that will bring the story up to date. It will be including in the next print run of the paperback later this year.

Popped into Bookmark Fredericton today, where they’ve received some early copies of Breakaway! 👀

There’s nothing like seeing your book on the shelf for the first time.

Available everywhere on September 23!

Poilievre tours Hardisty, AB, which I referred to as “Kilometre Zero” in my book. He’s not exaggerating the importance of the town, which is in the riding where he hopes to win a byelection.

The tiny town of 623 people moves $90 billion in energy a year—that’s more than the GDP of some countries.

Meet Hardisty.

Nation-building energy projects? They said that about Energy East, too — as I recounted in my 2018 book. The players have changed, but the economic and political tensions are identical to when I drove across six provinces to tell the stories of supporters and opponents.

Coming to a bookseller near you on Sept. 30 👀

Pre-order your copy starting on April 15! I can’t wait to share this with the world.

[Jacques Poitras @PoitrasBook]

My book on the project, Pipe Dreams, remains surprisingly timely as an examination of Canadian polarization over energy projects, however.

Quebec Premier François Legault, arriving at first ministers meetings in Ottawa, says “opinion is changing” on oil and gas pipelines in Quebec, but that social acceptance - and a proponent - is still needed for them to go ahead. #Cdnpoli

Paging Lord Ashburton. Lord Ashburton, Daniel Webster for you on line 2.

This could help explain this moment to our readers who may believe that, because the idea of annexing Canada sounds ridiculous, it can't be serious.

TLDR; It's not a joke.

[Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins]

The Maine economy is integrated with Canada, our most important trading partner. Certain tariffs will impose a significant burden on many families, manufacturers, the forest products industry, small businesses, lobstermen, and agricultural producers.

For example, 95 percent of the heating oil used by most Mainers to heat their homes comes from refineries in Canada. The Air National Guard Base in Bangor depends completely on jet fuel and diesel from Canada. From fisheries to potato farmers to paper mills, these tariffs will have a significant impact on Maine’s economy and risk increasing costs for our residents.

I am working with the Trump Administration to help its officials better understand the potential ramifications of certain tariffs on Maine and to find out more about their implementation, scope, duration, and other important information, including any exemptions they may make for northern border states, certain industries, agricultural producers, and others who rely on trade with Canada.

This is like a little city kid asking for a pony. Let's play it out: how can construction begin immediately on NGP or Energy East? In the case of EE, there has been no regulatory approval, no detailed route, limited consultation with indigenous peoples and there is no proponent.

[Jacques Poitras @PoitrasBook]

Ha ha ha. My 2018 book about Energy East, Pipe Dreams, is still available for sale.

[Mark Towhey @towhey]

3 THINGS CANADA should do right now:

1. Immediately approve and invest in an Energy East pipeline to carry Canadian oil and gas through Canada to an eastern seaport.

2. Expedite expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline to the BC coast.
