Many Liberal campaign promises are at odds with asks from the West.

Conflict between PM Carney's government and Alberta's political, industrial leaders is on the horizon.

Why foreign companies are driving Canadian LNG projects

State-owned enterprises and global energy giants may be best positioned to withstand Canada’s uncertain investment climate

Canada is down two premiers.

Is it simply coincidence, or are their departures related?

Will oil-by-rail be the new Energy East?

U.S. tariffs could make it economic to move oil-by-rail, sources say. But this doesn’t mean rail is a certain — or best — outcome

@brianlilley Agree that a west-east pipeline would be of great benefit, but Russian barrels aren't what would be displaced.

And '$200 million' a year might sound like a lot, but it's not. We import >$30-40 million *a day*.

Is the historic Quebec-Newfoundland hydro deal really a win-win?

Newfoundland and Labrador’s premier says the deal rectifies the lopsided Churchill Falls agreement. Critics say the mega-deal has been inexplicably rushed

Is climate policy missing the forest for the trees...?

'Uncounted' wildfire emissions exceed industry emissions, but most of the climate debate remains focused on mitigation, rather than climate adaptation.

@Walsh_James reports: https://t.co/g565lFZDZP

[Lauren Heuser @LaurenEHeuser]

Canada's wildfires account for more emissions than industry. Yet most of climate policy debate focuses on mitigating industry emissions, at the expense of a much-needed conversation about adaptation.

In his latest for @CDNAffairs, @Walsh_James reports: https://t.co/g565lFZDZP

[James Walsh @Walsh_James]

The climate conversation should involve more than a carbon tax.
