The National Energy Board announced three decisions on Thursday that allow Kinder Morgan to start construction on the Burnaby Mountain tunnel entrance for its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley put her 19-member task force to work on Wednesday, February 14, 2018, tasked with continuing to take the fight to B.C. over the Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

It's as if Chief Patrick Michell of the Kanaka Indian Bar Band has a superpower. With what appears to be a normal set of eyes, his vision stretches back to the last 8,000 years of his people and ahead, to a future of climate chaos and unshakeable hope.

B.C. and Alberta are perfectly poised to lead Canada’s transition to a more sustainable and secure form of energy security and prosperity, but the two provinces are now creating a level of hostility and resentment I don’t think we’ve ever seen.

National Observer's award-winning columnist Sandy Garossino spent 30 minutes in a room with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Here's what she found about his government's approval of the controversial Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain expansion.

Once the legislation is adopted, the Trudeau government would be able to remove a group of Harper appointees from their current role in overseeing Canada's energy industry.

The imminent sale of one of Canada’s largest construction companies to the Peoples’ Republic of China should give Premier John Horgan pause. In fact, it should lead him to a smart reversal of his support for the Site C dam, writes Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley explained on Monday that she was moving into some online warfare as part of her pro-oilpatch and pipeline battle against British Columbia.

Alberta United Conservative Party leader Jason Kenney closed out the weekend's Manning Networking Conference in Ottawa by suggesting the oil industry is "under massive attack."

Christy Clark accused John Horgan's new British Columbia government of "intentionally trying to frustrate" the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project on Saturday.

Ontario Progressive Conservative party leadership candidate Doug Ford said Saturday morning he could envision a Ford-led Ontario and Jason Kenney-led Alberta working together to rid the land of carbon tax.

Opposition to Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline has followed Justin Trudeau to sunny California, where protesters demonstrated on Friday outside the hotel where the prime minister was holding meetings with top state officials.

Justin Trudeau faced hecklers in Nanaimo. Rachel Notley and John Horgan are flinging indignant words, threats even, back and forth between Edmonton and Victoria. A national columnist demands Ottawa step in and show who’s got the power.

The latest spat between B.C. and Alberta over the Kinder Morgan pipeline has given climate activists across the country a chance to have a lot of fun. But it’s also causing a backlash among many mainstream Canadians who are saddened by the divisiveness.
