Jason Kenney, Alberta's incoming premier, said he cordially talked pipelines Wednesday with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — Kenney's political nemesis and his election campaign piñata — and said the plan is to meet soon for a one-on-one.

An unofficial turnout shows nearly 70 per cent of Albertans voted in Tuesday’s provincial election — the highest in decades.

The Trudeau government says it isn’t satisfied with First Nations consultations on the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project, and is pushing back its deadline to make a decision to June 18.

It is the first provincial election for Jason Kenney, a former federal cabinet minister in Stephen Harper's government.

Canada's oilsands sector, the country's fastest growing source of greenhouse gases, now produces more pollution than the entire economies of B.C. or Quebec.

Alberta's two main political rivals had opposing messages about the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion during their election campaigns on Monday, April 8, 2019.

Corporate tax cuts would generate few, if any jobs, and result in significant overall job losses from the accompanying cuts to public spending. Much of the windfall gains from the corporate tax cuts would flow to foreign corporate owners.

United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney took his pro-pipeline message to the heart of Alberta's oilpatch on Wednesday, April 10, 2019, and promised to push back on policies he said are hollowing out Canada's core industry.

The Dorins say their son is "determined to get justice before we die." They ever wanted the oil well on their farm in rural Alberta in the first place. Now it's leaking gas. They're elderly and unwell. And they've spent a fortune in court trying to get attention and compensation.

The Fort McKay First Nation was initially kept in the dark about a toxic cloud from the oilsands that struck their community after companies restarted operations that had been temporarily disrupted by the Fort McMurray wildfires. Internal records show that the incident occurred after industry pressured the provincial regulator to rapidly restart their operations despite risks to public health.

Alberta's two main political leaders used the only election debate to drill in on trust, with Jason Kenney saying Rachel Notley can't run the economy and Notley saying Kenney's moral compass needs a major readjustment.

The British Columbia government has put a target on neighbourhood properties linked to guns, gangs and drugs activities, the public safety minister said on Thursday, April 4, 2019.

The Alberta hometown for a victim of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash will name an arena after him, and will also make an exception to a decades-old rule that prohibited its mayor from issuing proclamations.

Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley promised to balance the province's budget by 2023-24 as she unveiled her party's election platform on Sunday, March 31, 2019, while also pledging to expand $25 per day child care, build long-term care beds for seniors and construct new schools.

An Alberta judge is expected to rule today, March 25, 2019, on whether a war crimes sentence for former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr should be declared expired.
