The Straits of Mackinac, a “sacred wellspring of Anishinaabe life and culture,” is part of an area ceded to the U.S. in 1836 only upon assurances that the right to hunt, fish and gather would be protected, tribal governments say.

Enbridge calls Line 5 “as good as new” and says it can last “forever,” even though the pipeline has failed at least 33 times since 1968, spilling more than 1.1 million gallons of oil in Michigan and Wisconsin, write Maude Barlow and Jim Olson.

"What can we best do to help Enbridge in your desire to continue operating the line?" Liberal MP Anthony Housefather asked a company executive Tuesday.

The federal government is bringing in further measures to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 on commercial passenger vessels and ferries.

The St. Lawrence Seaway saw cargo numbers fall sharply last year, as trade tensions and record water levels teamed up with harsh weather to hurt traffic.

The weather this summer could be starkly different across the country, according to the latest long range forecast from The Weather Network.

Yes, you read that correctly: According to recent reporting from McClatchy, Trump’s 2020 strategy has a climate component. Of course, the Trump campaign did its standard about-face in response to the reporting that it had seemingly confirmed earlier, calling it “100 per cent fake news.” Is Trump warming up the idea of climate action?
