HALIFAX - A new government bill put forward Tuesday would lift blanket bans on uranium exploration and hydraulic fracking of fossil fuels in Nova Scotia.

It would also make changes to the Petroleum Resources Act to “create the potential" for hydraulic fracking to access onshore natural [Read more]
Singh says pipelines would not be first priority for NDP energy policy
HAMILTON - NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he sees an east-west clean electricity corridor as his first priority for expanding the Canadian energy market — not new pipelines. While Singh isn't shutting the door entirely to pipelines, he says pipeline projects must be accepted by the communities through which they're routed, must not hurt the environment, must provide good jobs and must meet Indigenous consultation requirements. Most Canadian energy exports currently go to the United States, [Read more]

‘Should I just laugh?’: Energy experts question Freeland’s pledge to push LNG
OTTAWA - Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland’s pitch to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to allies is drawing skeptical reactions from those who say her government neglected the sector over the past decade.

That line is part of [Read more]
Ottawa, provinces should discuss possibility of west-east oil pipeline: Wilkinson
WASHINGTON - Canada's energy minister says Ottawa and the provinces should discuss the possibility of an oil pipeline to Eastern Canada to improve energy security. Jonathan Wilkinson says it’s a “vulnerability” for Canada to export so much of its oil to the United States in the context of the Trump administration's tariff threats. He also says the fact that Ontario and Quebec are served by Enbridge Line 5, an oil pipeline that runs through the Great Lakes states, creates “some degree of [Read more]
Suncor touts Canadian refining capacity as way to weather tariffs
CALGARY - Suncor chief executive Rich Kruger says that while all Canadian businesses will feel a hit from tariffs, his company is fairly well-positioned to limit the impact. He says the company's large Canadian refining footprint and higher capacity than peers to export crude from the coast makes it less exposed to tariffs compared with some companies more reliant on shipping unrefined heavy crude south of the border. Kruger says that while he thinks the U.S. needs Suncor just as it needs [Read more]
Quebec open to rekindled GNL Québec gas facility project amid U.S. tariff threats
QUÉBEC - The Quebec government says it would be open to reviving a controversial liquefied natural gas project in the province’s Saguenay region to ship energy from Alberta overseas. Quebec refused to authorize GNL Québec Inc.'s proposed liquefaction facility and export terminal in 2021 and Ottawa followed suit in 2022, citing environmental concerns. However, U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on Canadian energy have increased the urgency for Canadian oil and gas [Read more]
Ministers call on Washington lawmakers to scrap tariff threat completely
WASHINGTON - A month-long pause on Donald Trump's tariff threat has done little to ease Canadian concerns as key cabinet ministers return to Washington hoping to push the devastating duties off the table permanently. "I do think there are opportunities for conversations to enable us actually to move away from the conversation about tariffs," Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said Tuesday. Wilkinson is making the case among key Republicans for a Canada-U. S. energy [Read more]
China counters with tariffs on US products. It will also investigate Google
BEIJING (AP) — China announced retaliatory tariffs on select American imports and an antitrust investigation into Google on Tuesday, just minutes after a sweeping levy on Chinese products imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump took effect. American tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico were also set to go into effect Tuesday before Trump agreed to a 30-day pause, as the two countries acted to address his concerns about border security and drug trafficking. Trump planned to talk with [Read more]
