Donald Trump has signed an agreement to get the massive Keystone XL pipeline into production. At the same time, Prime Minister Carney is pushing another pipeline to the Pacific. This, as Canadians are still subsidizing the bitumen in the TMX pipeline to the tune of about 50 cents on the dollar.

The leader of the BC Prosperity Project says Curtis Stone’s views don’t reflect those of the wider group.

One of the moderators of a popular Facebook page that promotes B.C. separating from Canada has been open about his white nationalist and antisemitic beliefs, and his interest in Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders.

In February 2025, Curtis Stone appeared in a Rumble video called “Uncle Ted’s Disciples w/Curtis Stone,” which features Stone talking with Derek Harrison, a member of the extreme-right Canadian group Diagolon.

B.C. premier says legislation to suspend parts of DRIPA will be a confidence vote

A strategy shift away from immediately redrawing the legislation failed to quell First Nations' concerns.

British Columbia Premier David Eby says he will stake his government on suspending sections of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act for up to three years, calling it the "least invasive" way of mitigating its potentially sweeping and unintended impact on the province's laws.
