Alberta

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says she expects to have some "interesting conversations" with Ontario Premier-designate Doug Ford about climate change policies.

Asked how long he thinks it will take to fulfill a campaign trail pledge to extricate Ontario from its cap and trade system for controlling emissions and how much it will cost, Premier-designate Doug Ford instead started talking about how he thought it would be hard for him to pick out a cabinet because of the strength of his team.

Texas-based Kinder Morgan has scored another legal victory after the Federal Court of Appeal rejected a request to consider new evidence that allegedly showed the Trudeau government rigged its review of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

Premier Rachel Notley has formally apologized for Alberta's role in the '60s Scoop, and although survivors say that doesn't close the book on one of Canada's darkest episodes, they say it does open a new chapter of reconciliation and healing.

The food company known for its organic cereals and granolas has become one of the first major Canadian companies to launch a campaign against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

There is money in the bank. Voters in the hopper. And from many angles, a spring in the step of many Conservatives these days.

Shannon Phillips made the comments at a summit near Ottawa last week on women climate leaders, in response to questions over how her government plans to deal with recent surveys showing some public skepticism over the threat of climate change and the benefits of putting a price on carbon pollution.

There won't be any fireworks between the premiers of Alberta and British Columbia at the Western premiers conference this week, because Alberta Premier Rachel Notley isn't going.

The premiers of British Columbia and Alberta will join their counterparts from Western Canada and the North at meetings next week in Yellowknife, but John Horgan doesn't expect any drama over the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

Tensions over the Trans Mountain pipeline increased on Thursday, May 17, 2018, with British Columbia announcing plans to launch a lawsuit over new Alberta legislation that could restrict fuel exports to the West Coast.

Alberta has passed landmark legislation giving it sweeping power to intervene in oil and gas exports that could result in punitive price spikes in British Columbia in the dispute over the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion.

Canada has taken a major step in cleaning up its oil and gas sector. We’re the first country to commit to methane emission regulations for the industry, marking an important shift toward climate protection.

Alberta’s electricity sector is undergoing a substantial transformation. There’s no stopping it; the sector is changing worldwide. The change is driven by cheap renewable energy, aging infrastructure, declining coal value and the need to better manage the health impacts of air pollution.

“The facts and circumstances which have given rise to this motion are highly unusual and, indeed, extremely alarming,” said the motion, submitted on May 2 to the Federal Court of Appeal by lawyers for the Tsleil-Waututh Nation.

The Tsleil-Waututh Nation "is of the view that the new evidence, viewed in the larger context of the existing evidence which is already before the Court, casts further unfavorable light on Canada's approach to 'consultation' with TWN," wrote lawyer Scott Smitt in a letter sent to the Federal Court of Appeal on April 29, 2018.
