Two years after a blue-ribbon panel called on the Alberta government to encourage partial upgrading of bitumen from the oilsands to enhance value and free up more pipeline room for exports, the idea remains years away from commercialization.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says the province will stop importing wine from British Columbia. It's the latest move in a growing dispute over Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline expansion that would carry more Alberta oilsands bitumen to the B.C. coast.

On the last stop of his cross-country tour in Nanaimo, Justin Trudeau threatened to ditch NAFTA, kicked out three protesters, and left the venue chased by a mob shouting “Stop Kinder Morgan!”

Canada's oil and gas producers are struggling to stay competitive with their U.S. counterparts because of the struggle to expand pipeline capacity, says a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute.

A new report says Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Suncor Energy, Cenovus Energy, Imperial Oil and Husky Energy haven't fully disclosed how much carbon pollution they expect to create out of their own assets.

"Paternalistic," "inadequate," and "unrealistic."

Latest data shows the Yanks may already have passed us by. The world’s other top ten economies have lapped us.

While TransCanada's Nebraska-bound Keystone XL pipeline locks in the commercial support it needs to proceed, Kinder Morgan's controversial Trans Mountain expansion has run into a snag that could delay its completion until 2020.

In this era of climate action, trying to sell natural gas with weak methane regulations is like trying to sell oil that produces higher emissions. The world is less and less interested.

Airborne monitoring recently revealed that greenhouse gas emissions from some parts of the oilpatch have been badly underestimated.

The new chief executive of Cenovus Energy Inc. unveiled plans for a leaner oilsands company Thursday, announcing hundreds of job cuts, lower−than−expected 2018 capital spending and the departure of three key executives.

New estimates from Statistics Canada suggest that those who go green with their choice of employment are poised to make some serious green in return.
