Alberta Premier Rachel Notley wants urgent federal action to stop a "regulatory merry-go-round" and get the Trans Mountain pipeline built.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau drew some laughter from a crowd of journalists and staffers as he gestured to the premier of B.C. in the middle of a news conference. “Stay here,” Trudeau said as B.C. Premier John Horgan walked away from the podium.

Canada is fortunate indeed to have a court system that produces rulings of the depth and quality of the Federal Court of Appeal’s judgment on the Trans Mountain Project.

When I wrote to Justin Trudeau on October 25, 2015—almost three years ago—I warned him that it was critical to implement his promise to redo Trans Mountain’s review and fix the industry-captured National Energy Board as soon as possible.  

Ontario Premier Doug Ford tweeted a selfie of himself with Alberta Opposition leader Jason Kenney criticizing a tax on pollution, as his government faced accusations from federal Liberals of restricting some public servants from speaking about climate change.

The secret overtures offering a financial backstop to Kinder Morgan began in March, even though the Canadian government had made it clear, during its early negotiations with the Texas multinational, that it didn't want to buy the pipeline expansion project, says a new document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Canadians have reported receiving calls on their mobile phones from someone called 'Tell City Hall.'

According to Rachel Notley's budget, the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion will produce no benefit to oil prices at all — that’s right, no benefit.

Texas-based Kinder Morgan gets to walk away from the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline with a decent financial boost but is deprived of significant future earnings growth after Canada’s federal government paid $4.5 billion to take the expansion project (and the existing pipeline) off its hands on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his decision to use taxpayer money to buy Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline and its troubled expansion project for $4.5 billion was made after the company told his government that the project was a "risky" investment.

The premiers of British Columbia and Alberta will join their counterparts from Western Canada and the North at meetings next week in Yellowknife, but John Horgan doesn't expect any drama over the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

The House of Commons breaks for a constituency week on Monday and returns May 22, which means that between now and the end of the month, the Commons sits for nine days. Legislation often takes longer than that to become law.

The B.C. government is asking the courts to decide whether the province can legally regulate the transportation of hazardous substances like diluted bitumen through the province.
