Despite the security dangers posed by U.S. President Donald Trump, there is no way a new – or resurrected – pipeline project would be completed in less than five years
Jonathan Wilkinson would like everyone to take a deep breath, when it comes to one of the biggest, costliest and riskiest ways that Canada could try to assert itsenergy independence in the face of Donald Trump’s threats.
In the space of a mere few weeks, the Canadian political terrain has shifted dramatically. Between Prime Minister Trudeau’s imminent departure and Trump’s attacks on Canada’s economy and sovereignty, a Conservative majority led by Pierre Poilievre in the coming months no longer seems like a foregone conclusion. In an otherwise bleak global landscape, many in Canada are breathing a sigh of relief that polls are showing a stunning collapse in the Conservatives’ lead, especially when poll respondents are asked to consider a Mark Carney-led Liberal Party.
Premier says province must prepare for tariffs to return and start sending more exports elsewhere
B.C. Premier David Eby's office has shared a list of 18 resource projects that he says the province will be fast-tracking in order to reduce its reliance on trade with the United States.
They are a blend of energy, mining and critical mineral projects that are already on the books, but which the government says it will be working to expedite through the approval process.
B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad is pitching new laws targeting provincial environmental groups as part of his party’s strategy to combat U.S. tariff threats.
Flanked by billboards reading “US millionaires are funding the destruction of B.C. economy” at a press conference Monday, Rustad argued the province needs legislation to ban B.C.-based environmental groups from receiving any U.S. funding for climate campaigns against oil and gas companies.
It’s been almost a decade since Mark Carney took the podium during a candlelit meal in the immense Underwriting Room at Lloyd's of London and threw a stink bomb at the black tied bigwigs of international finance.
“I’m going to give you a speech without a joke, I’m afraid,” Carney began. And then, after the requisite “grateful for the invitation” and up-buttering, Carney gave what’s been known ever since as the Tragedy of the Horizon speech.
