A proposed federal bill that aims to change the way Ottawa assesses major energy projects was given a rough ride in Calgary on Tuesday, April 9, 2019.

Canada is in the final stages of developing a new federal law (Bill C-69) that will modernize our environmental assessment laws. The bad news: this practical and relatively modest goal has been the subject of an extensive misinformation campaign by the oil and gas industry.

Global energy giant Royal Dutch Shell is urging Canada's largest oil and gas organization to get off the fence and support both the Paris climate accord and the pricing of carbon to encourage greenhouse gas emission reductions.

Will a price on carbon be a central issue in Alberta's 2019 election? With opinion polls that show Jason Kenney’s United Conservative Party has a wide lead over Premier Rachel Notley's NDP, and signs that oilpatch leaders are undermining the government's approach to pollution, the pressure is on for Notley's team to show their work on the economy, climate change and renewable energy issues.

"The Liberals are failing Canadians by destroying investment confidence in the energy sector in Canada… The reality is this: that under the Liberals more energy investment has been lost than any other time frame in 70 years, $100 billion of energy projects cancelled."

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley wants urgent federal action to stop a "regulatory merry-go-round" and get the Trans Mountain pipeline built.

Potential delays in the completion of the Keystone XL pipeline following a U.S. judge's order mean that Western Canadian oil producers could suffer current price discounts for a longer period of time, an industry spokesman says.

Two organizations have filed a formal request for Ontario’s Chief Electoral Officer to launch an investigation into an election advertising blitz by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), Canada’s largest oil and gas lobby group.

The political implications of a new oilpatch advertising campaign has prompted at least one political insider to call it “a warning shot” from one of Canada’s largest and most powerful lobby groups for the upcoming federal election.

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers is predicting the country's oil production will increase by 1.4 million barrels per day by 2035, despite an ongoing "competitiveness gap" that discourages investment.

Canada’s fossil fuel industry will soon have to make sure a potent form of its carbon pollution doesn't escape from its operations, in order to protect the environment, clean the air and save over 10 billion dollars in avoided climate change costs, according to new federal rules.

As the Trudeau government moves forward with its plans to price carbon pollution, a new report from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers argues the Liberals should be focusing their efforts on getting fossil fuels to emerging economies.

In this era of climate action, trying to sell natural gas with weak methane regulations is like trying to sell oil that produces higher emissions. The world is less and less interested.

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers says it supports Alberta's goal of slashing methane pollution by almost half, but is also lobbying for the government to weaken the rules.

Canada's national broadcaster has been advertising on Jeff Gaulin's Journalism Job Board for years. Now, it could get into trouble over potential conflict of interest concerns.
