Oil spill

The next step in clean up of a diesel spill in the Seaforth Channel, said Fisheries and Oceans Minister Dominic LeBlanc, is hopefully to remove the tug from the water.

Trapped oil has been discovered in at least three coves of the Seaforth Channel, where a 10-tonne tug and barge unit owned by Texas-based Kirby Corp. ran aground on Oct. 13.

The incident report says a "safety incident" took place. Chief Marilyn Slett says a man hopped into a boat without adequate safety gear.

A local First Nation says the damage has already been done and a lawsuit could be on its way.

Aerial observers found oil sheen — or "stranded oil" — escaping containment booms at the spill site in the Great Bear Rainforest.

A 10,000-tonne tanker barge and tug unit crashed on the central Pacific coast around 1 a.m. on Thursday morning.

The pipeline leak has now damaged roughly three hectares of remote land in north-central Alberta.

After dumping more than 200,000 litres of chemicals into the North Saskatchewan River, Husky Energy has reimbursed the James Smith Cree Nation for clean up efforts.

I promise you she talks about bull kelp with the same amount of passion she uses to talk about killer whales mauling sea lions.

The James Smith Cree Nation in eastern Saskatchewan has emptied its coffers to pay for cleanup on its territory after the Husky Energy oil spill. It says the company hasn't provided any assistance.

"I know from experience that we cannot manufacture these uprisings, but we can feel them building," writes Valerie Langer.

In less than five minutes, British Columbia resident Eoin Finn reduced a room full of angry pipeline protesters into uncontrollable fits of laughter.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should send Kinder Morgan packing when it makes its decision on the Trans Mountain expansion project later this year, says the Vancouver mayor.

Laurie Pushor, deputy minister of the economy in Saskatchewan, says provincial officials supervised as the line was purged, cut and taped and the segment in question removed.

Residents of Burnaby, B.C. are desperate to avoid a new generation of "oil spill refugees" after Kinder Morgan's existing Trans Mountain pipeline leaked crude all over their land and waters.
