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

At a time when British Columbia Premier David Eby is championing buying Canadian, BC Ferries may be preparing to enter a multi-year agreement to buy fuel from an American-owned company with strong ties to U.S. President Donald Trump and the governing Republicans.

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.

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.

The federal government has now announced counter-tariffs that will kick in after Labour Day, along with initial supports for affected workers and businesses.

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.
