Kinder Morgan

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.

Quebec's Canadian relations minister, Jean-Marc Fournier, has penned a letter warning the Trudeau government that its approach on the Kinder Morgan pipeline could damage federalism in Canada.

Canada is considering several ways to reduce the financial risk for Kinder Morgan investors spooked by the uncertainty plaguing the planned Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr said on Friday, April 13, 2018, as a high-level, make-or-break meeting loomed on the horizon.

Senior public servants warned the Trudeau government in 2016 that its consultations with First Nations on the Trans Mountain expansion pipeline were “moving fast” — comparing the process to mistakes that led to the failure of another west coast pipeline, says a newly-released internal email.

Protests resumed on Burnaby Mountain at the gates of the Kinder Morgan pipeline construction site, as artists showed up with colourful signs representing fish, birds and other wildlife. Three women were arrested, including Pia Massie, the artist in residence at Emily Carr University's Centre for Culture and Community.

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.

Bill Morneau and other federal ministers have said that all options are on the table to resolve a dispute that threatens to derail Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain expansion, which would triple the capacity of the Texas company's existing pipeline.

The Trudeau government's cabinet ministers received warnings from bureaucrats that the approval of Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline expansion could trigger civil disobedience or protests, but it is keeping these warnings secret, National Observer has learned.

​Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says the province will buy the Trans Mountain oil pipeline project if that's what it takes to get it built.

Disputes over the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline should be settled in court, B.C.’s environment minister said Tuesday. “Where there is a dispute, we’re going to court. That’s where disputes should be settled, not by threats, coercion and intimidation,” George Heyman said in an interview.

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.

​Faced with an escalating battle between British Columbia and Alberta as well as a spooked investment community, federal cabinet ministers will gather Tuesday for an emergency meeting in search of a way to convince Kinder Morgan to go forward with its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge says the Crown should consider laying criminal contempt of court charges against Green party Leader Elizabeth May and dozens of other demonstrators alleged to have violated a pipeline court injunction.

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.

Texas-based energy giant Kinder Morgan wants to see “some kind of preemptive action” from Ottawa that stops B.C. from wielding its jurisdictional authority to block a pipeline from getting built.
