The danger confronting Canadians is not President Trump’s on-and-off tariff toggle. That’s only a symptom. The more significant threat is our deep integration with, and hence dependence on, the US. This has compromised our formal sovereignty and will continue to block our substantive sovereignty – the democratic capacity to choose our own directions without external (i.e., US) pressures.
WARREN, Mich. (AP) — Bernie Sanders is standing alone on the back of a pickup truck shouting into a bullhorn.
He’s facing several hundred ecstatic voters huddled outside a suburban Detroit high school — the group that did not fit inside the high school’s gym or two overflow rooms. The crowd screams in delight when he tells them that a combined total of 9,000 people had shown up for the rally.
Trump’s billionaire allies push more LNG terminals, as household bills climb
The cost of heating more than a million homes, farms and businesses across B.C. could soon jump again, as fossil gas prices double later this year.
That’s according to a forecast by the B.C. government included in Tuesday’s budget, which predicts a 113 per cent increase in the price of fossil gas this fiscal year.
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.
Renewable natural gas is touted as a critical climate solution, but there are serious problems in B.C. with accountability and how emissions benefits are counted from the U.S.
This year’s B.C. government budget was a “missed opportunity” to ensure the economy is more resilient to Trump tariffs by driving job growth and energy security with more support for a clean economy, say climate experts.
The budget didn’t claw back prior climate initiatives or undermine the CleanBC plan, but lacked ambition to decarbonize the economy or put B.C. at the forefront of the global clean energy transition, said Chris Severson-Baker, executive director of the Pembina Institute.
