Energy East

The LNG terminal is at the center of a bitter dispute pitting the region’s largest energy company, Irving Oil Ltd., against Saint John’s city hall. In so doing, it’s become a potent symbol of all the problems inherent with corporate welfare in Canada – and in New Brunswick especially.

Canada's federal pipeline regulator faced renewed calls for a public inquiry on Tuesday over conflict of interest allegations that prompted a small protest in downtown Montreal.

Mike De Souza's exclusive investigation on alleged conflict of interest within the National Energy Board's review of the Energy East pipeline has been nominated for a national journalism award.

Quebec microbreweries are betting that the province's love for beer will help rally opposition to TransCanada's proposed Energy East pipeline project.

Two energy companies both say they responded "immediately" to a pipeline leak, but 200,000 litres of oil condensate then spilled into an excavation pit near Edmonton, Alberta.

TransCanada is once again seeking approval of its Keystone XL pipeline route in Nebraska in the latest move to push the polarizing project forward since getting a nod from U.S. President Donald Trump.

"The National Energy Board has lost the public’s trust," former provincial energy corporation chief executive Marc Eliesen says.

“I think it would be fair to say starting from scratch almost, because they’re really restarting from the beginning," said National Energy Board communications officer Marc Drolet.

Canada's embattled federal pipeline regulator is seeking public input on its own modernization. New rules won't apply to projects already underway, the NEB says.

Less than 24 hours after Canada's federal pipeline regulator named a new Energy East hearing panel, an environmental group in northern Ontario is trying to shut it down.

The panelists assigned to review the largest pipeline proposal in Canadian history were appointed to the NEB last month, and hail from Ontario and Quebec.

The scientists say at least 10 of 15 identified impacts from oilsands expansion on oceans are “certain” to happen from new coastal development, ocean shipping, climate change and the risk of spills.

The new members were not specifically named to the Energy East review panel by Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr because it’s up to the acting chair of the National Energy Board to assign duties.

The company says the Saddle West Expansion Project will add 29 kilometres of pipeline capacity to existing routes.

"We stand at the dawn of the clean growth century," said Canada's Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. President-elect Donald Trump is poised to take the U.S. in the opposite direction.
