BREAKING: Supreme Court majority rules against federal environmental impact law
“Even if this court were to accept Canada’s submission that the defined ‘effects within federal jurisdiction’ are within federal jurisdiction, these effects do not drive the scheme’s decision-making powers,” he wrote in the 204-page opinion released Friday.
Wagner went on to say that the effects considered in the legislation previously known as Bill C-69, which included a range of environmental and social factors as well as climate change, were “overbroad.”

The RCMP say a photojournalist who is suing the force was not exempt from complying with a court injunction while reporting on protests over the Coastal GasLink pipeline that’s nearing completion in northern British Columbia.

Enbridge CEO full speech: Canada should answer the call for LNG
Canada is not a military superpower nor an economic superpower. We are an energy superpower and using that power for good when asked by our allies is more than a fair price to maintain our G7 status and reputation.

Enbridge CEO Greg Ebel: Delivering LNG to global markets can reduce global CO2 emissions, support energy security
This is a major global leadership opportunity for Canada.
In fact, it’s been staring us in the face for the past decade, with little to no progress, while the U.S. has seized on it.
The opportunity I’m referring to is the export of Canadian natural gas. If used to displace coal in Asia and Eastern Europe, this would have a tremendous impact on reducing global emissions—far greater than Canada achieving its own 2050 net zero commitment.

Letter to the Editor: More thoughts as to why activity levels are so low
I read your articles regularly and with interest as I have been involved in the Saskatchewan oilpatch for the last 27 years, finding oil and building and selling small private companies. I think all your points about industry activity levels and how the provincial government can help are correct and appropriate. We should encourage them as much as possible.
I would like to add a couple more thoughts as to why activity levels are so low.
Just 29 drilling rigs working in Saskatchewan on Oct. 3, and only 26 were drilling for oil
Does it look like the end of December? No. But several oil companies working in Saskatchewan have shut down their drilling programs until the end of the year, meaning three months of no drilling, before planned resumption of drilling in the new year. This, despite oil selling for US$89.33 per barrel of West Texas Intermediate.
Brian Zinchuk: Forget a northern energy corridor to Hudson Bay – just do it within Manitoba
There’s been talk of an energy corridor running from Port McMurray to Fort Nelson on Hudson Bay.
However, it all depends on Manitoba’s election on Tuesday, Oct. 3.
Everyone knows about Fort McMurray, but next to no one knows about Port Nelson, on the mouth of the Nelson River. Nor should they.
Here’s a better idea – build it all within Manitoba.
If your company wants in on Saskatchewan’s coming nuclear power development, be in Regina on Wednesday
SIMSA has been tasked by the provincial government to develop a nuclear supply chain within Saskatchewan, especially since current estimates are up to $4-$5 billion per reactor, although they could be potentially less. SaskPower estimates peak workforce will be 1750 people during construction, per unit. Thus, there will be opportunities to be had, to the tune of several billion dollars, in what will likely be the priciest infrastructure project in this province to date.
