Northern Gateway is a dead letter being written to a past that no longer exists, one that trades on a vision of the future in which global demand for fossil fuels will grow without end and supplies are constrained by geology or geopolitics.

Alberta is taking the federal government to court, saying Ottawa has failed to follow through on what Premier Danielle Smith calls necessary changes to a law governing resource development.

Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says Alberta's plan to make greenhouse gas emissions data the property of the provincial government could lead to oil and gas companies breaking federal laws.

Unity among provinces and the federal government is critical in the face of the grave challenge posed by the threat of massive new import tariffs from Canada's closest trading partner, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Wednesday following an emergency first ministers' meeting.

Donald Trump has used its innate ability to sniff out weakness in others to cut down political foes in his own country, from former opponents like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz to his own vice-president. Now, with his latest tariff threat, he’s exposing the weakness of Conservatives north of the border.

Announcing an upcoming motion under her Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act on Tuesday, Smith said the government plans to challenge the cap in court when or if it becomes law, and that it will take the steps necessary to give the province exclusive authority and ownership of emissions data, ban federal employees from designated oil and gas facilities, and more.

Trump said the tariff will remain in place until both countries stop drugs, in particular fentanyl, and people from illegally crossing the borders. He said until those issues are solved Canada and Mexico will "pay a very big price!"

The president-elect posted to Truth Social on Monday he will sign an executive order imposing a 25 per cent tariff on all products coming in to the United States from Canada and Mexico. He said the tariff will remain in place until both countries stop drugs, in particular fentanyl, and people from illegally crossing the borders.

He's baaaaaack. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper is now the chairman of Alberta's Investment Management Corporation. Next up? A renewed push for an Alberta pension plan.

For all the gloss in Wright’s presentation, it doesn’t take much scratching of the surface to reveal the tinfoil underneath. But that doesn't make his message any less dangerous for those who care about climate policy.

Donald Trump has Canada over a barrel of oil and he knows it. He might not be a deep thinker when it comes to, say, foreign policy, but Trump is a genius at sniffing out weakness on the part of others and then exploiting it without fear or favour.

A recent resolution by Alberta's ruling United Conservative Party (UCP) to recognize carbon as "a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth" is rooted in fossil fuel disinformation that dates back to the 1990s.

Capping oil and gas pollution is crucial to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while ensuring the industry’s competitiveness through the energy transition, federal ministers said Monday. But Ottawa’s fiercest critics were quick to slam the proposal, setting up fresh rounds of conflict for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s beleaguered government.

Premier Danielle Smith’s latest PR push is fossil fuel propaganda. That’s why 350.org responded with “Cap the Crap,” a campaign to call out industry lies and fight for a strong emissions cap on Alberta's oil and gas sector.

The Liberals don't have many winning issues right now, but their new policy for oil and gas emissions (and the reflexive Conservative backlash against it) might just be one. If they're smart, they'll use it to give Pierre Poilievre the carbon tax election he never wanted.
