Brian Zinchuk on John Gormley Live: Poilievre, coal, rig count, lithium, helium, oil prices, Ukrainian refugees, hiring and the Lloydminster Heavy Oil Show. Whew!
Pipeline Online editor and owner Brian Zinchuk appeared on CJME/CKOM’s John Gormley Live on Thursday, Aug. 4. There were a large number of topics touched upon.
Poilievre skips Conservative leadership debate, shows up in Weyburn, Estevan, Regina and Moosomin instead
Frontrunner Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre skipped a national leadership debate to make his second visit to southeast Saskatchewan in two months on Aug. 3, making stops in Weyburn, Estevan and Moosomin as well as Regina that day.
After a meet and greet in Weyburn, he came out to Jason and Sherrill LeBlanc’s farm, west of Estevan, for another meet and greet with supporters. There, a backdrop of representative equipment from local businesses and the farm was lined up. There was a picker truck, a semi of bales, a dump truck of coal, a cement truck, a tractor and combine, each meant to show a different part of the local economy – oil, ranching, coal mining and power, industry and farming.
Grounded Lithium just drilled its first targeted lithium well in Saskatchewan, only the second of its type in this province
On Aug. 2, a new lithium exploration company, Grounded Lithium Corp., was wrapping up its first targeted lithium well. It’s the first in what the company is calling their Kindersley Lithium Project (KLP).
That makes Grounded just the second company in Saskatchewan to specifically drill for lithium, as opposed to oil, gas, potash or helium. A little under a year ago, Prairie Lithium was the first, having drilled its initial exploration well near Torquay.
Brian Jean says Churchill is a pipedream due to muskeg and permafrost
While the Port of Churchill is seen by some as a possible salvation for exports, especially oil, from the otherwise landlocked prairie provinces, at least one prominent politician is saying it’s not going to work,
Feds, province pump more money into rail line to Churchill, Man.
OmniTrax had proposed shipping oil through Churchill but backed down after facing opposition, largely over fears that the tracks on the uneven terrain could lead to a spill.
Some have floated the idea of shipping liquefied natural gas through Churchill. More recently, Conservative party leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre promised to move oil through Churchill in the form of bitumen pucks, which are designed to be less volatile than standard oil and which can float in water.
