Trans Mountain

Bill Morneau and other federal ministers have said that all options are on the table to resolve a dispute that threatens to derail Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain expansion, which would triple the capacity of the Texas company's existing pipeline.

The Trudeau government's cabinet ministers received warnings from bureaucrats that the approval of Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline expansion could trigger civil disobedience or protests, but it is keeping these warnings secret, National Observer has learned.

​Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says the province will buy the Trans Mountain oil pipeline project if that's what it takes to get it built.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says British Columbia's opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline threatens the rule of law in Canada and says she made it clear in a phone call to B.C. Premier John Horgan that her province is retaliating.

​Faced with an escalating battle between British Columbia and Alberta as well as a spooked investment community, federal cabinet ministers will gather Tuesday for an emergency meeting in search of a way to convince Kinder Morgan to go forward with its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge says the Crown should consider laying criminal contempt of court charges against Green party Leader Elizabeth May and dozens of other demonstrators alleged to have violated a pipeline court injunction.

British Columbia Premier John Horgan showed no signs Monday of backing down on the battle over the Kinder Morgan pipeline, rejecting widespread claims his government's challenge of the $7.4 billion project is hurting the economy and tearing apart the country.

Texas-based energy giant Kinder Morgan wants to see “some kind of preemptive action” from Ottawa that stops B.C. from wielding its jurisdictional authority to block a pipeline from getting built.

Around 300 people braved rain and thunder on Burnaby Mountain today to demonstrate against Texas-based energy giant Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion.

Hundreds of people marched from the Vancouver Art Gallery to the Sheraton Wall Centre, an upscale hotel where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended a $1,000-a-plate Liberal fundraiser on Thursday. They came with metal pots, pans, and wooden spoons with the intent to make their opposition against the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion heard by guests attending the event.

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces protests in Vancouver for his continued support for Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, green business leaders in B.C. have mixed views on whether the project should be built.

Indigenous Watch House guardian Will George called for a pause in blockades and a "week of ceremony" after 172 people were arrested over the past week blockading Kinder Morgan's pipeline terminal in Burnaby B.C.

The Watch House is something new, both in the Kinder Morgan fight and in protest politics. Its presence is at the very heart of what could become Canada’s Standing Rock. At the same time, it is emerging as a place to reconcile differences, as Indigenous and non-Indigenous gather under its roof.

Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, described Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline expansion as "acts of vandalism" against First Nations land on Friday.
