To help Enbridge lock gas customers in for decades to come, Premier Doug Ford's government on Wednesday overrode Ontario’s independent energy regulator and passed the Keeping Energy Costs Down Act.

In a rare moment of saying the quiet part out loud, Enbridge tells the Ontario energy regulator that Conservatives will likely repeal the carbon price as a reason to dismiss certain evidence from being considered in a ruling about the future of new gas hookups.

Enbridge is officially under investigation by the Competition Bureau for allegedly misleading customers about the affordability and potential of natural gas in the energy transition.

Environmental groups are hoping a complaint sent to Competition Bureau Canada alleging Enbridge is misleading customers will force the energy giant to stop telling people gas is the cheapest way to heat homes and instead inform them of the benefits of switching to electric.

The ad, paid for by Environmental Defence and running in New Brunswick, defends the federal government’s clean fuel regulations and debunks Premier Blaine Higgs’ assertion they are to blame for the price of gasoline shooting up by about seven cents. It was first aired July 26 and will run until Aug. 15.

Canada’s progress on significantly cutting pollution by 2030 is being undermined by growing emissions from the country’s oil and gas industry, according to the federal government’s annual emissions report to the United Nations. 

A cap on greenhouse gas emissions from Canada's oil and gas sector will be ready by the end of next year, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said Monday.

Sky-high net earnings for Canada’s four biggest oil companies have renewed calls for a windfall tax that Ottawa shows no sign of adopting.

Phasing out natural gas generation by 2030 would result in rotating blackouts and higher electricity bills, Ontario's electricity system operator said in a report released on Thursday, October 7, 2021.

Ottawa and its critics agree there is much more work to be done to achieve Transport Canada’s goal of phasing out the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035, but plans have stalled until the United States sets its course.

The federal government has issued no permits for Canadian companies to ship trash overseas since regulations changed three years ago but Canadian garbage is still showing up unwanted in Asian nations.

Ontario is weighing a ban on single-use plastics as part of a broader strategy to send less waste to landfills.
