Despite Eby’s ‘buy Canadian’ focus, a firm with MAGA connections is the likely contract winner.

The National Post has never tried to hide its hatred of social-democratic politicians. Over-the-top, incendiary language is part of this American-owned media chain’s playbook. So, needless to say, I don’t tend to pay much attention to their columnists.

But a recent column on New Democratic Party leader Avi Lewis crossed the line into an extremist hate threat. It needs to be called out.

Tax credits let companies pay little for resources. What do the parties say?

In 2019, Shell Canada, a subsidiary of one of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies, paid the British Columbia government not one dollar in royalty payments despite producing 175 billion cubic feet of natural gas.

After pressing the province for five years, we’re still coming up short.

As we bid goodbye to summer and welcome fall, many of us breathe a sigh of relief that another “wildfire season” is winding down. Our skies are clear of smoke again. The days may be shortening, but our hearts feel lighter.

In a statement Tuesday, LNG Canada CEO Chris Cooper said the project will create thousands of jobs and further strengthen Canada's role as a trusted energy partner.
