People have a right to know whether Suncor is willing to be a good corporate citizen in dealing with the energy transition and the climate disaster, writes NDP MP Charlie Angus.

The United Nations body that oversees World Heritage Sites is approving a report that finds Wood Buffalo National Park's place on that list is in danger.

Recent statements by the CEO of a major oilsands company further the case for federal regulations to cap greenhouse gas emissions in the oil and gas sector, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said.

Fossil fuel companies flip-flopping on climate commitments should remind everyone that voluntary pledges and promises are no substitute for legally binding responsibilities, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

A United Nations body has affirmed earlier findings that Canada's largest national park remains under environmental threats from dams, oilsands development and climate change.

Given the fossil fuel industry’s track record, there is good reason to mistrust the motives behind the oilsands consortium’s sudden commitment to joining the fight against climate change.

The bureau is officially investigating an ad campaign that Greenpeace Canada argues is “false and misleading” because it suggests Canada's six biggest oilsands companies are reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping Canada achieve its climate targets.

Imperial Oil is officially under investigation to determine whether the company broke federal law with recent tailings leaks from its Kearl oilsands mine in northern Alberta.

That's well before the completion of a massive carbon capture and storage transportation line that has been proposed for the Canadian oilsands, the company says.

Imperial Oil’s president and CEO described the failure to alert downstream communities to toxic oilsands tailings leaks as a “communication breakdown” during his testimony on Parliament Hill Thursday.

Alberta’s energy regulator is a captured entity that should be dismantled, multiple Indigenous leaders and representatives told parliamentarians Monday.

Alberta's energy regulator is reconsidering a project it approved months ago after receiving a critical report on Fort Hills Energy's plan to mine oilsands from a unique carbon-storing wetland.

Last May, Imperial reported discoloured water outside one of its tailings ponds and failed to keep area First Nations apprised of the ongoing investigation.
