The prime minister and the premier of Manitoba say they'll try to find common ground on a new hydro line so the province can sell more surplus electricity to Minnesota.

Justin Trudeau will be focusing on the training benefits in the recently released budget as he meets with labour leaders in Winnipeg today, March 26, 2019.

Despite ongoing concerns raised by First Nations, the Trudeau government says it's "on track" to conclude its review and make a decision on the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, Canadian Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi said on Wednesday at a major energy conference.

Canada announced $1.6 billion in financial support to help Alberta's oil and gas sector expand into new markets, Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi announced Tuesday.

Jim Carr's view of enhancing Canadian trade in Asia — and its biggest prize, China — is rosier these days because he's seeing the possibilities through a new lens: LNG Canada's new $40-billion liquefied natural gas project in northern B.C.

Canada has not included the United States in an upcoming meeting aimed at saving the international trading system because it doesn't share the views of the 13 invited countries, says the new Canadian trade minister.

Take a behind-the-scenes peek at the investigation by Mike De Souza and National Observer's team into the Kinder Morgan saga.

The secret overtures offering a financial backstop to Kinder Morgan began in March, even though the Canadian government had made it clear, during its early negotiations with the Texas multinational, that it didn't want to buy the pipeline expansion project, says a new document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expanded his cabinet by five, adding some new positions, and shifting some responsibilities among the senior ministers in his government, as Canada enters the last year before the next general election.

Canada's Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr says Texas pipeline operator Kinder Morgan made its own decisions to reward its executives with bonuses and that this was their business, not Canada's.

Two executives at the Canadian unit of Texas-based Kinder Morgan are poised to cash in with $1.5 million bonuses after Ottawa offered to bailout their west coast oil pipeline system and expansion project, according to a new filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Texas-based Kinder Morgan has scored another legal victory after the Federal Court of Appeal rejected a request to consider new evidence that allegedly showed the Trudeau government rigged its review of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

Terry Beech shows up in casual clothes on a Friday a few metres away from a gate at the limits of Kinder Morgan’s property, watching as waves of residents from the southwestern British Columbia community of Powell River risk arrest by lining up to block incoming traffic. He says that 58 per cent of his constituents told his office in a recent survey that they oppose the project.

The Tsleil-Waututh Nation "is of the view that the new evidence, viewed in the larger context of the existing evidence which is already before the Court, casts further unfavorable light on Canada's approach to 'consultation' with TWN," wrote lawyer Scott Smitt in a letter sent to the Federal Court of Appeal on April 29, 2018.

If the case launched by First Nations is reopened or appealed, here is a sample of some of the relevant evidence released through access to information legislation and other public information gathered by National Observer over the past two years.
