John Horgan

The environmentalist and former U.S. vice-president posted a tweet Thursday saying the pipeline carrying "dirty tar sands oil" would be a step backward in efforts to solve the climate crisis.

The B.C. government is asking the courts to decide whether the province can legally regulate the transportation of hazardous substances like diluted bitumen through the province.

I spent four years in the Alberta legislature with Rachel Notley, from 2008 to 2012. I liked and admired her and was delighted when she became premier in 2015. Today when I watch her on pipeline and oil issues I ask myself, what happened to the Rachel Notley I knew? And I wonder if the same thing will happen to John Horgan.

High-ranking bureaucrats in the federal government discussed speeding up the review of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion project in 2016 following a phone call from the company’s chief executive, Ian Anderson, that left officials warning that the pipeline might be “abandoned,” reveal newly-released internal documents.

Politics and economics have moved the struggle West, but it remains our struggle, says this open letter.

The federal government will pursue discussions about more financial subsidies for fossil fuel giant Kinder Morgan inside boardrooms in Houston, New York, Toronto and Calgary — but not in public, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Sunday.

British Columbia's government has issued a progress report on permits for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, just as Premier John Horgan readies to travel to Ottawa for a meeting on the controversial project.

Trudeau has left Canada for the Summit of Americas in Lima, Peru, but will be returning to Ottawa following that visit to convene a meeting between the B.C. and Alberta premiers on Sunday, April 15, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says British Columbia's opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline threatens the rule of law in Canada and says she made it clear in a phone call to B.C. Premier John Horgan that her province is retaliating.

British Columbia Premier John Horgan showed no signs Monday of backing down on the battle over the Kinder Morgan pipeline, rejecting widespread claims his government's challenge of the $7.4 billion project is hurting the economy and tearing apart the country.

The project poses a threat to waters off the West Coast, which Washington residents view as a treasure, and the state is looking at marine safety laws that would help mitigate the impact of a tanker spill, Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday at a meeting with B.C. Premier John Horgan and officials from Oregon and California.

B.C. Premier John Horgan has announced new legal action to defend his province's rights to introduce environmental regulations that could stop Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain expansion project. His announcement was interpreted as a concession that prompted Alberta to end its ban on B.C. wines.

Yet even if Kinder Morgan clears the hurdle of a First Nations court challenge and First Nations activism, it must then confront formidable opposition from BC environmental activists. For better or worse, not every goal a government sets is politically achievable.

As New Democrats closed their policy convention in Ottawa on Sunday, Jagmeet Singh said the $7.4-billion Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion needs a more thorough environmental assessment before construction.

Jagmeet Singh didn’t touch on oil, pipelines, or energy development when he addressed hundreds of NDP delegates at a national convention in Ottawa on Saturday. Rather, in a speech punctuated often by delegates standing to applaud and cheer “NDP” or “Jagmeet Singh,” the federal NDP leader focused first his policies for taking on economic inequality, then racism and intolerance.
