Coastal GasLink

The CEO of TC Energy Corp. is warning that the cost of its Coastal GasLink pipeline to bring natural gas from northeastern B.C. to Canada's first LNG export terminal is rising and completion will likely be delayed due to a construction halt to control spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The multibillion-dollar venture between Gazoduq and GNL Quebec would entail natural gas, extracted from fracking in northern B.C. and Alberta, being piped through existing pipelines all the way to eastern Ontario.

Arguments over the extension of the environmental assessment certificate for a natural gas pipeline in B.C. resumed in court on Friday, October 2, 2020, with lawyers for Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs telling a judge an evaluation is needed on the potential risk of violence to Indigenous women and girls.

Lawyers for the Office of the Wet’suwet’en were in British Columbia Supreme Court on Thursday, October 1, 2020, seeking an order quashing the extension of the environmental assessment certificate for a pipeline that was at the centre of countrywide protests in February.

The social media giant said the suspensions were done by mistake and that it had reinstated the accounts Monday. But it didn’t explain how the incident happened, and some said they still weren’t able to access their accounts.

A global survey of LNG terminals released Monday by Global Energy Monitor outlines the central risk facing the hundreds of billions of dollars in sunk investments in LNG infrastructure: That some of these structures could become stranded long before the end of their useful lives.

The elected leadership of several First Nations split over a natural gas pipeline in northern British Columbia are calling for the immediate resignation of Crown–Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett.

Hereditary chiefs who oppose a natural gas pipeline in northern British Columbia say they will sign an agreement with the federal and provincial governments that affirms their title and rights.

Energy projects like an LNG Canada export terminal and the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion may face short-term setbacks but the pandemic and oil price crash shouldn't threaten their long-term viability, economists say.

Prime minister says he will have more information soon about the Trans Mountain pipeline, as fears are raised in B.C. of possible transmission of the coronavirus through resource project work camps.

The rail and port disruptions dented the GDP by a diminutive 0.01 per cent, the federal government's budget watchdog said Friday.

Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs say the pattern of rule-breaking raises questions about whether the pipeline should have been allowed to continue.

Olivier Adkin-Kaya of Youth Stop TMX told National Observer the group is “looking to fundraise to cover a lot of legal costs."

The heavily quoted figure represents a disputed conclusion about the benefits of natural gas, and its author says he intentionally left out real-world factors in his calculations.

The tentative agreement doesn’t address the Coastal GasLink pipeline directly, nor does it mean Wet’suwet’en solidarity blockades will end anytime soon.
