oilsands

The environmentalist has faced an onslaught of harassment over her opposition to the oilsands and pipelines. She is concerned that the organized personal demonization of her and other activists is putting a chill on open dialogue in Alberta about climate change and fossil fuels.

Three of Canada's biggest oilsands producers are going directly to voters today, August 1, 2019, to ask them to "influence the outcome" of big decisions concerning the oil and gas sector as a fall federal election looms.

Growth in oilsands production over the next 20 years is expected to be slower than previously forecast, despite falling project construction costs, according to a study update by the Canadian Energy Research Institute.

An Indigenous-led group says it will soon be ready to make a bid for majority ownership of the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline currently owned by the federal government.

After months of taking to the streets to demand pipeline project approvals and rallying last month to call for lower property tax increases, Calgary's business community is looking forward to heading outside for pancakes and parties as the Calgary Stampede kicks off this week.

Zurich Insurance Group's new policy comes after Canada’s regulator of financial institutions issued a statement asking all insurers to develop a low-carbon transition strategy.

If completed, the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project would triple the capacity of an existing pipeline, allowing it to transport up to 890,000 barrels per day of bitumen and other petroleum products from Alberta's oilpatch, to a marine terminal in Burnaby, B.C.

A week before the Liberals decide the future of Trans Mountain project, protesters gathered in Calgary to shout "Build that pipe" and applaud right-wing politicians at what organizers called Canada's largest ever rally in support of the oil and gas industry.

Visitors to last month's Clean Energy Ministerial in Vancouver may have been surprised at the sight of "I love Canadian oil" souvenirs, courtesy of the oilpatch's public outreach arm.

Oh, Canada. We may not have a national mythology built on a phrase like the American 'Life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,' but we do have a myth based on the refrain that 'Ottawa Liberals hate Alberta.'

Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. reported a first-quarter profit of $961 million, up from $583 million in the same quarter last year, as it benefited from higher prices due in part to Alberta's mandatory production curtailments.

The federal government of Justin Trudeau took the initiative on Jason Kenney's first day in power in Alberta, offering to exempt a list of specific oilsands operations from environmental assessment if the new UCP government sticks to Rachel Notley​​​​​​​'s 100 megatonne emissions cap.

An online campaign that started out as a tongue in cheek response to premier-designate Jason Kenney’s promise to develop a $30-million “war room” against environmental activists in Alberta is picking up steam.

A report compiled by Environment Canada shows that four fossil fuel facilities in northern Alberta produced far more carbon dioxide and other pollutants than they are required to report under international guidelines.

It is the first provincial election for Jason Kenney, a former federal cabinet minister in Stephen Harper's government.
