Rachel Notley

Canada’s premiers and prime minister met under tense circumstances in Montreal Friday, and left a day of meetings without a shared agenda on energy or the environment.

By the time he wraps up his day-long talk fest with provincial and territorial leaders, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may well rue the day he promised to hold first ministers' meetings annually.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has announced plans to cut production of oil from her province, in response to a widening gap in the market price for western Canadian crude versus what other crude oils are getting on the market. The gap is triggering losses in provincial coffers of hundreds of millions of dollars.

As Alberta Premier Rachel Notley continues to pitch for more trains to carry 120,000 additional barrels of oil out of the landlocked province, Transport Minister Marc Garneau says Canada's rail system has become safer since a deadly train derailment, oil spill and explosion in Lac-Mégantic, Que. in 2013.

Alberta needs to buy as many as 7,000 railcars if it wants to be able to meet its goal of shipping an additional 120,000 barrels of oil a day, says Premier Rachel Notley.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said that she has asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to commit to co-purchasing two new unit-trains to transport an additional 120,000 barrels of Alberta oil a day.

"We’re striking the right balance," the Alberta premier said Thursday, after the announcement at a meeting of the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors at the Petroleum Club in Calgary.

Will a price on carbon be a central issue in Alberta's 2019 election? With opinion polls that show Jason Kenney’s United Conservative Party has a wide lead over Premier Rachel Notley's NDP, and signs that oilpatch leaders are undermining the government's approach to pollution, the pressure is on for Notley's team to show their work on the economy, climate change and renewable energy issues.

Rachel Notley has made it official, announcing she will run again in the next election, touting her government's record while slamming opponent Jason Kenney as a self-serving policy huckster.

In her speech, Tzeporah Berman said striking a balance is already complex but has been made worse by public discourse suffused with hate and polarized ideologies on both sides. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says anti-pipeline opponents aren't realistic.

Twelve anti-pipeline daredevils that rappelled from Vancouver’s Ironworkers’ Bridge in July and flew large flags protesting Trans Mountain have been told they will not be charged.

Brian Pallister's abrupt about-face on a carbon tax came after the Manitoba premier felt like he was being used as a prop by Ottawa, and sources say it was a surprise to most in his own caucus.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says her government will be watching the new Trans Mountain pipeline review process very carefully, and will continue to campaign to win the hearts and minds of Canadians in a fight she believes she is already winning.

Trade Minister Deron Bilous says the province doesn’t know what’s being discussed or how Jason Kenney is presenting Alberta’s position.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley wants urgent federal action to stop a "regulatory merry-go-round" and get the Trans Mountain pipeline built.
