It’s well-proven oil and gas production puts marine life at risk. But there is also damage done by oil exploration when companies conduct seismic surveys and exploratory drilling to look for fossil fuel deposits.
At a time when the world recognizes the need to end the reliance on fossil fuels, Newfoundland and Labrador is planning to double offshore oil production by 2030.
Newfoundland and Labrador is betting its financial future on the hundreds of millions of barrels of oil buried off its coast. Here's what that looks like.
On Tuesday, Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn Inc., an organization which represents eight Mi’gmaq communities in New Brunswick, announced it was joining the lawsuit against the federal government for its approval of the Bay du Nord oil project.
Exploring for more oil, delineation of new fields, constructing new oil infrastructure and commissioning new projects are all activities that waste Canada's shrinking carbon budget.
Eight oil and gas companies are planning hundreds of expansion projects in the coming years, even as the world is already on track to burn through its remaining carbon budget, a new report finds.
Ecojustice, on behalf of Équiterre and Sierra Club Canada, will argue in Federal Court, that Bay du Nord could harm the environment and Guilbeault unlawfully approved the project
If Canada pays royalties to the contentious Bay du Nord oil development off the Newfoundland coast, it would be the first country in the world to do so.
