The Ford government is projecting a major shift toward nuclear power to meet rising electricity demand and support Ontario’s transition to net-zero emissions by mid-century. 

The Alberta government is working to entice a private-sector player to build a major crude pipeline to coastal waters, Premier Danielle Smith said Wednesday.

BC rules Prince Rupert Gas Pipeline has "substantially started," letting a 2014 permit stand — First Nations and environmentalists call it a blow to climate and Indigenous rights.

The Ford government introduced legislation Tuesday that would open Ontario’s public clean energy fund to support nuclear power — a move critics say redirects resources away from faster, cheaper renewable options such as wind and solar.

The Ford government is rushing to pass legislation that would strip cities of one of their most effective tools to confront climate threats: green building standards.

Solar panels have never been cheaper, and the lower upfront cost means homeowners can recoup their investment more quickly, with savings on electricity bills.

Ford said he would amend the bill, which fast tracks development, but leaders say they reject it "in its entirety."

Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson reiterated Carney's promise that his government would approve projects in the "national interest" under a fast-tracked review system, at a Calgary Chamber of Commerce meeting.

A coalition of First Nations, physicians and environmental organizations is ramping up pressure on Prime Minister Mark Carney to drop nuclear energy from his “energy superpower” strategy, warning it comes with high costs, long delays and long-term risks.

Weeks after Prime Minister Mark Carney scrapped the federal consumer carbon levy, more than half of Quebecers want their province to follow suit and abolish its own price on carbon, a new poll says.

A new province-wide poll shows 80 per cent of Ontarians want the Ford government to cancel a major nuclear deal in favour of renewable energy alternatives and Canadian sources.

From a weeping elder at a tailings pond to a quiet moment with Thich Nhat Hanh, journalist Linda Solomon Wood reflects on the stories that shaped her—and why, in an era of censorship and disconnection, human experience still breaks through when climate language fails.

Construction on the first of four small modular reactors at a nuclear station east of Toronto is set to begin this year with the entire project costing $21 billion. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission approved Ontario Power Generation's plan last month to build the first of four reactors.

Canada's energy CEOs are calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to scrap the emissions cap on oil and gas producers and repeal industrial carbon pricing to help bolster the industry.

A mining company’s email to a First Nation chief has raised concerns about how the industry handles Indigenous consent and consultation processes.
