Oil and gas, electricity emissions remain a challenge for Ottawa-Alberta relationship
OTTAWA - Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says there are no "lines in the sand" when it comes to working with Alberta to find common ground on climate action and the energy sector.

Wilkinson says his two-hour meeting with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith in Calgary this afternoon was [Read more]
Faster approvals for major projects will be key to achieving climate goals: Report

Shell ditches lower oil production target but insists it’s committed to cutting emissions
LONDON (AP) — Shell has effectively abandoned a plan to cut oil production by 1-2% per year until the end of the decade, instead maintaining output at current levels in a move that risks angering climate activists. Ahead of an investor update in New York on Wednesday, Europe's largest energy company argued that it had already met the target it had set for itself in 2021 through asset sales. London-based Shell said it had seen its production drop from 1.9 million barrels of oil equivalent [Read more]

Both sides in Canada-U.S. pipeline debate clash today over cross-border Line 5
WASHINGTON - North America's existential debate about the virtues and dangers of oil and gas pipelines faces a critical test today in Wisconsin. That's where a district court judge will hear arguments about whether or not to shut down Line 5, a critical cross-border energy conduit between Canada and the U.S. The Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa says spring flooding has rendered the risk of a breach on its northern Wisconsin territory too great to ignore.

Canada ‘extremely concerned’ about fate of Line 5 pipeline in Wisconsin, embassy says

Nature could be a challenge for Line 5
WASHINGTON - The Canada-U.S. oil and gas conduit known as Line 5 could be facing its toughest challenger yet: the very watershed the pipeline's detractors are trying to protect. Spring flooding has washed away significant portions of the riverbank where Line 5 intersects Wisconsin's Bad River, a meandering, 120-kilometre course through Indigenous territory that feeds Lake Superior and a complex network of ecologically delicate wetlands. The Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa has [Read more]
