Oil and gas companies have posted staggering profits over the past two weeks, renewing environmental advocates' calls for governments to rethink fossil fuel subsidies and incentives.

The federal Greens are kicking off 2023 with a visit to Atlantic Canada as the party tries to rebuild support across the country.

Ottawa sends $1.16 million to the Nunatsiavut government in Labrador to help lower the overrepresentation of Inuit in the province's justice system.

Last year, fossil fuel giant BP left the oilsands to dive into Canada’s offshore market, and is now set to explore a new region on the East Coast it hopes holds up to five billion barrels of oil.

The operators of an offshore oil rig have come forward in court to plead not guilty to a 2019 oil spill, which saw 12,000 litres of oil leach into the Atlantic Ocean.

The federal government recently announced a new grant to help lower-income homeowners switch from carbon-intensive oil heating to efficient heat pumps by removing cost barriers and layering programs.

Hurricane Fiona will land in Atlantic Canada late Friday and early Saturday and is expected to bring “strong winds, heavy rain and storm surges [that] can cause power outages, flooding and significant damage,” according to the province of Nova Scotia.

It’s well-proven oil and gas production puts marine life at risk. But there is also damage done by oil exploration when companies conduct seismic surveys and exploratory drilling to look for fossil fuel deposits.

Boosted coast guard facilities and increased safeguards for Canada's coastal environments are part of an expanded $3.5-billion marine program that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dubbed the "Oceans Protection Plan 2.0."

Amid complex suggestions for ways to transition off diesel, is a community-led program in Black Tickle with a simple idea: high-efficiency wood stoves.

Exploring for more oil, delineation of new fields, constructing new oil infrastructure and commissioning new projects are all activities that waste Canada's shrinking carbon budget.

The oily and quick-growing species are a fundamental part of the North Atlantic Ocean food chain and ecosystem. They’re also overfished.

Newfoundland and Labrador residents say they’re frustrated by the lack of free COVID-19 rapid tests when other provinces make them widely available at no cost.

Although the operation of Bay du Nord will emit less carbon than its oilsands counterparts during production, once that oil is burned, the emissions are all the same.

Bay du Nord would see drilling take place at a depth of up to 1,200 metres, compared to other current offshore operations, which drill at 100 metres or less.
