Four major pipelines. Billions in lost investment. A decade of political fights. And still, Canada can't seem to build energy infrastructure. On this episode of The Discourse, Cheryl and Erika unpack why Canada keeps losing the pipeline wars and whether the political landscape may finally be shifting. With premiers suddenly talking about "economic corridors" and Mark Carney promising to fast-track projects, is there a narrow window for national energy projects to succeed? Joining the show is Gitane De Silva — former Deputy Minister in the Alberta government, former CEO of the Canada Energy Regulator, and someone who's been inside the rooms where these make-or-break decisions happen. She pulls back the curtain on: Why so many projects (like Northern Gateway and Energy East) failed How First Nations consultation has (and hasn't) evolved What it would take to truly approve a major project in just two years The "chicken-and-egg" problem stopping private sector proponents from stepping up Plus: The political evolution of Wab Kinew, David Eby, and Danielle Smith on energy Cheryl and Erika debate who really "got a pipeline built" Why Alberta keeps demanding pipelines — and why the rest of Canada often tunes them out The famous bitumen bubble that still lives rent-free in Erika's head Advice to premiers ahead of the G7 summit — and how Trump's temper still looms large

The Premiers meeting shows hope for the future, zoning bylaws divide Edmonton’s council, and David Eby rejects any notion of a second oil pipeline.

Welcome to UnSpun – your go-to podcast and YouTube show for current events. In this episode, Jody Vance and George Affleck cover a packed slate of political chaos and local controversy:

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and Councillors Lisa Dominato and Mike Klassen are in Ottawa this week to push for federal support on key city priorities, including housing, transit, public safety, and infrastructure. Why did Chief Teegee pull out of Eby's trade mission to Asia? Recycle BC is expanding curbside recycling in the District of West Vancouver to include flexible plastics starting in June of 2025. Premiers from across Canada met with Prime Minister Mark Carney in Saskatoon to discuss “nation-building projects” and emerged with a rare sense of unity.

The past week saw a surge in energy-related political developments in Canada. Prime Minister Carney issued a unified Mandate Letter to his cabinet on May 21, 2025, emphasizing that Canada “must build an enormous amount of new infrastructure at speeds not seen in generations. This includes the infrastructure to diversify our trading relationships; to become an energy superpower in both clean and conventional energies.” The newly appointed Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, delivered a constructive message during his visit to Calgary, highlighting the importance of building energy infrastructure, including oil and gas. Meanwhile, the Premiers from Western Canada convened a meeting in Yellowknife. They released a joint statement agreeing to plan and develop an economic corridor for “transporting oil and gas, liquefied natural gas, uranium, electricity, and hydroelectricity to Canadian and world markets.” To discuss these developments, we are joined by our guest, The Honourable Gordon Campbell, President of Hawksmuir International Partners Limited. He is the former Premier of British Columbia (2001–2011), Canadian High Commissioner to the UK and Northern Ireland (2011–2016), and Mayor of Vancouver (1986–1993). Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter posed to The Honourable Gordon Campbell: Based on the Carney government's constructive comments on energy infrastructure and attracting private investment, including the Energy and Natural Resources Minister's trip to Calgary last week, would you anticipate a new approach from the Liberals compared to the previous decade? The Western Premiers issued a joint statement to develop economic corridors, including those for transporting electricity, natural gas, and oil. What types of projects do you expect David Eby's NDP government to support in British Columbia?  Would you expect the Federal government to revise or repeal energy policies, particularly those that might deter capital investment, such as the industrial carbon pricing policy set to increase to $170 per tonne by 2030 or the oil and gas emissions cap? Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

What are the likely energy policies from the Trump administration?

As we await the final results of Saturday's B.C. election, we discuss the potential outcomes and how the legislature could function with a minority government with Max Cameron, UBC political science professor. Then, at least two people are dead after an atmospheric river hit southwest B.C. on the weekend, triggering mudslides and washouts. We discuss the severity of these kinds of weather events and how municipalities can prepare with Kai Chan, UBC Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability professor.

id David Eby's NDP win and lose the B.C. election at the same time? You could make the argument, with an outcome as tight as it gets. What does such a narrow margin say about the state of that province, and federal politics for that matter? Meantime, the crisis in Lebanon is so bad that Syrian refugees who fled there are actually returning home. Humanitarian groups are doing what they can to provide the bare essentials to more than a million people impacted by Israeli airstrikes, but it's not enough. Why is the international community ignoring it, for the most part?  We dig into these top stories - and highlight one of the most entertaining "good news" stories we've ever seen - in this episode of Real Talk.  2:30 | Political commentator Rob Shaw takes us into the B.C. election results, including why it was so close, and what could change over the days to come.  READ ROB'S WORK: https://www.theorca.ca/commentary/rob-shaw-david-eby-lost-this-election-even-though-the-bc-ndp-won-9684933 18:50 | Oxfam Canada executive director Lauren Ravon describes the situation on the ground in Lebanon, and tells us why she thinks international donations are way down.

Tomorrow, British Columbians head to the polls in a provincial election that's seen plenty of twists and turns.There was the collapse of the B.C. United party, formerly the B.C Liberal party, which really opened the door for the further rise of the B.C. Conservative Party, and its leader John Rustad.Rustad, who's running to be premier of B.C., is in a tight race with sitting B.C. NDP premier David Eby. Controversial and conspiracy-laden comments by Rustad himself, and a number of his candidates have taken up a lot of oxygen.CBC's B.C. provincial affairs reporter Katie Derosa joins host Jayme Poisson to sort through all the political drama.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

B.C. NDP Leader David Eby takes your questions ahead of election dayWe speak to a climate change policy expert on each party's plan to address climate change and ask our audience to weigh in on how important climate is to them in this election.

British Columbia voters are so unhappy that they might elect a party this week that barely existed two years ago: the Conservatives led by John Rustad. No wonder. As veteran B.C. politics columnist Vaughn Palmer tells Brian, voters see crime as out of control; drug decriminalization creating no-go zones everywhere; and immigration soaring even as the housing crisis seems worse than ever. Meanwhile, their made-in-B.C. carbon tax has become punishing. NDP Leader David Eby appears desperate to disown his record since taking over as premier last year. But, as Palmer explains, although Rustad is less polished and has some problematic candidates, the surprising closeness of this race speaks to how bad things seem to so many.

Learn how the team's expert-driven algorithm ranks the picks and discover which games hold the most promise for savvy bettors. In This Episode: Recap of Last Season: The team reflects on their solid performance last year, hitting a 56% ATS (Against the Spread) success rate on DraftKings Pick Five and 61% in their 3-2-1 contest. The Picks Breakdown: This week's top-rated games, categorized into Gold, Silver, and Bronze: Gold Games: Tennessee Titans (+4.5) vs. Chicago Bears: Multiple handicappers, including Steve Physic and Scott Seidenberg, back the Titans. New York Jets (+4.5) vs. San Francisco 49ers: No sharps favor the 49ers, with top picks for the Jets coming from the likes of Mike Lombardi and R.J. Bell. Silver Games: Carolina Panthers (+4.5) vs. New Orleans Saints: The Panthers receive strong backing, with notable names from the Action Network supporting the pick. Atlanta Falcons (-2.5) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: Sharps like Kyle Long and Steve Hasek are backing the Falcons. Bronze Games: Jacksonville Jaguars (+3.5) vs. Miami Dolphins: Handicappers such as Mike Lombardi are favoring the Jaguars, while the Dolphins have limited support. Seattle Seahawks (-5.5) vs. Denver Broncos: Despite some dissent, sharps like Marco D'Angelo pick the Seahawks. Key Insights: Betting on rookie quarterbacks comes with caution—historically, they are 5-15-1 ATS in their first 21 games, a stat to consider in the Titans vs. Bears matchup. The Jets benefit from the "Super Bowl loser hangover" trend, with the 49ers' poor Week 1 ATS record adding weight to the pick. The Panthers, coming off an improved offseason with a better offensive line and coaching staff, are gaining traction as a smart pick. Betting Trends: Underdogs on Monday Night Football: They are 29-12-1 ATS since 1998, a stat applying to the Jets in Week 1. Favorites of 7+ Points in Week 1: Historically, they are 14-27 ATS since 2003, with teams like the Bengals fitting this trend.

The last two weeks in B.C. politics have been frenetic ones. First, B.C. United leader Kevin Falcon revealed that the B.C. Conservatives had pulled out of negotiations meant to prevent a vote-split that could re-elect David Eby's NDP government. Then, the Conservatives announced that one BCU MLA, and then a second, were crossing the floor to join John Rustad's party.It's a lot of high drama with little more than four months to go before British Columbia's provincial election in October, so this week I'm joined by Richard Zussman, Global News legislative reporter in Victoria, to break it all down.THE NUMBERS: On this week's episode of The Numbers podcast, available for Patreon members here, we talk about the news out of Ottawa on the reduction in the Bank of Canada's interest rate, as well as a new report on foreign interference. Will anything move the polls? Plus, with two floor-crossings in British Columbia, is B.C. United finished? We also chat about new provincial polls out of Quebec and Alberta, and answer questions from the mailbag. To close, Philippe tests me with a competition-level Quiz.In addition to listening to this episode of The Writ Podcast in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.
