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.

Expansion of LNG Canada project would double exports from Kitimat, B.C., to overseas markets

LNG Canada says its multibillion-dollar Phase 2 expansion in Kitimat, B.C., is going forward, in a move that could double exports of liquefied natural gas from the northern coastal facility to overseas markets.

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.

Last week’s Canada’s Changing Climate Report is a call for faster action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shift the economy to clean electricity, analysts say, after the government reported that average warming will reach 3.5° to 5°C by 2100 across Canada and more than 10°C in the Arctic.

West Coast Pipeline Won’t Recoup Its $43.7B Cost as Global Oil Demand Weakens

There’s no likely need for Alberta’s proposed West Coast Pipeline, as the rise of electric vehicles and a faster global energy transition drive down future oil demand and prices at a faster rate than industry and governments may have expected, the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) concludes in an analysis released this morning.

Standing up to Trump. . .

Aug. 27, 2026

It has been heartening to witness the degree of national unity as Canadians steel themselves for the current trade war and insist that our governments stand up to Trump. According to many reports, Canada was dangerously close to signing a terrible deal with yet more concessions. But thankfully, at the 11th hour, the US demanded too much and Prime Minister Carney pulled the plug. The federal government has now announced counter-tariffs that will kick in after Labour Day, along with initial supports for affected workers and businesses.

“To be honest, there aren’t really good data on the cost of climate change,” co-author Andy Hira said, something he attributed to “willful ignorance” among policy-makers reluctant to link fossil fuel production to the costs it helps create.

A new American Meteorological Society report paints a grim picture of the global climate.

As global warming continued to reshape Earth’s climate, the planet’s oceans reached record high temperatures for the third year in a row in 2025. Some northern forests and tundra released more carbon dioxide than they absorbed. And the Greenland Ice Sheet lost about 129 gigatons of ice, enough to form a cube of ice about three miles wide on each side.
