This week, our guest is François Poirier, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Energy. While he is based in Calgary, François joined us from Houston, where he attended the CERAWeek Conference. TC Energy has one of North America's largest energy infrastructure portfolios, including natural gas pipelines and electricity generation assets in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked François Poirier: What are some of the top themes at CERAWeek, including the discussion on the infrastructure panel you spoke at? Do you expect the US will build pipelines and other large energy projects faster with President Trump's emergency orders and fast-tracking? What is your outlook for North American natural gas demand, considering the proliferation of plans to build new AI data centres? President Trump would like to revive the Keystone XL oil pipeline; what are your thoughts on that project? Is there an opportunity to move more natural gas between Western Canada and Eastern Canada over Canadian territory using the TC Mainline? Do you see the potential to revive the Energy East pipeline? What did you learn from completing the Coastal Gas Link pipeline which connects natural gas from Northeast British Columbia to Canada's west coast at Kitimat, and how did it compare to your recent project of building a natural gas pipeline in Mexico? Could you envision TC Energy investing in another LNG feed gas pipeline in Canada, and what would need to change for you to make this investment? How urgent is it for Canada to start taking action to accelerate LNG projects, considering competition from Alaska, Mexico, and other foreign suppliers?Content referenced in this podcast:Wall Street Journal Opinion Piece “How to Make North American Energy Great Again” (Feb 3, 2005)TC Energy's Mexico pipeline project ($4.5 billion of investment)TC Energy's Coastal GasLink Project in Canada 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

Canada got a temporary reprieve from Donald Trump's tariffs, but the fight is far from over — and may be more existential than we thought. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now says the U.S. president's threat to turn Canada into the 51st state ‘is a real thing.'Public Safety Minister David McGuinty, joins The House to discuss if Trump is actually a threat to Canadian sovereignty and whether Canada's new border measures — including a “fentanyl czar” — are enough to appease Trump.Then, with all the chaos coming out of the United States right now, is there even a playbook for Canadian leaders to follow anymore? How should political parties adjust as Parliament remains prorogued? Two former key staffers weigh in on how politicians can respond to Washington whiplash.Plus, Trump's tariff threats are getting Canadians officials to reexamine Canada's economy, including whether to revive discussions on building a west-east oil pipeline. A CBC provincial affairs reporter in New Brunswick explains the history of the failed Energy East pipeline and whether it could be brought back to life.Finally, world leaders will gather in France next week to discuss taking action on risks associated with AI — including the threat of disinformation. A Finnish scholar stops by the studio to share his experience monitoring and combatting disinformation next door to Russia.This episode features the voices of:David McGuinty, Minister of Public SafetySupt.

The threat of tariffs on Canada's trade with the United States continues to be top of mind, with Alberta's Premier, Danielle Smith, recently returning from Mar-a-Lago after meeting with President-elect Donald Trump over the weekend.This week on the podcast, our guest is Marcus Rocque, Vice President at the ARC Energy Research Institute. Marcus joins Jackie and Peter in discussing the potential for Canadian oil and gas tariffs and the possible market implications. They review Canada's trade surplus with the United States, which is smaller than Donald Trump often claims, and whether the trade surplus is the only motivation for his threats to Canada. Next, they consider the amount of oil and natural gas Canada sends to the United States and the US's ability to substitute some of this consumption with alternative supply. Finally, they consider how the tariffs could impact US consumers and Canadian oil and gas producers.Content referenced in this podcast:Polymarket: “Will Trump impose 25% tariff on Mexico/Canada?” 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
This week we get former PC Cabinet Minister Dominic Cardy on the show to have a conversation about New Brunswick Politics. It's been a long time coming to be sure. We speak on a range of topics from the plight of democracy, the Canadian Future Party, and the New Brunswick political landscape. Wikipedia Bio Dominic William Cardy[1] MLA (born 25 July 1970) is a Canadian politician and Member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick. From the 2018 New Brunswick general election until his expulsion from the caucus in October 2022,[2] Cardy represented the electoral district of Fredericton West-Hanwell for the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick. He now sits as an independent.[3] During his time in government he was the Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development under Blaine Higgs. Since September 2023, Cardy has been the interim leader of the Canadian Future Party, a moderate centrist federal political party which broke away from the Conservative Party of Canada.[4] Prior to being elected to the New Brunswick legislature, Cardy served as chief of staff of the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick caucus and had previously been leader of the New Brunswick New Democratic Party from 2011 to 2017. Early life [edit] Born in the United Kingdom, Cardy moved to Fredericton, New Brunswick with his family when he was a child.[5] He attended Dalhousie University and graduated with a political science degree.[5] Cardy worked for the Department of Foreign Affairs in 2000 on projects to increase public support for the banning of land mines[5] and for the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) between 2001 and 2008. He served as a senior staff member and then country director for NDI in Nepal, Bangladesh and Cambodia.[6] Political career [edit] While a student at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Cardy was elected President of the Nova Scotia NDP's youth wing. He then worked as a party campaigner, political assistant to an NDP MP in Cape Breton, and managed several campaigns at the municipal and federal level.[5] In 2000, Cardy co-founded NDProgress, a pressure group within the NDP that advocated the modernisation of the party's governance structures and was sympathetic to the Third Way.[3] In writing about the debate within the NDP prior to its 2001 convention between the New Politics Initiative and those such as NDProgress, Cardy wrote "Some want to see the NDP recreated as a mass party based on the ideas of the traditional left, but infused with the energy of the new social movements and the anti-globalization activists. And there are those pushing from another direction, taking inspiration from the European socialists. If I had my choice I would fall firmly into this camp, those who want the party to follow the path laid by social democrats like Gary Doer, Tony Blair and Gerhard Schröder."[7] He is also an admirer of US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.[8][self-published source] Cardy was campaign director for the NDP in the 2010 provincial election.[9] Provincial politics [edit] NDP leader [edit] Cardy was acclaimed party leader on 2 March 2011 after the only other candidate for the position, Pierre Cyr, was disqualified from the party's 2011 leadership election.[9] At the 2012 New Brunswick New Democratic Party convention, Cardy received an 82 per cent vote of confidence in his leadership from the assembled delegates.[10] During the 2012 federal NDP leadership race, Cardy backed Thomas Mulcair, and was one of the introductory speakers at his campaign launch. Cardy was the NDP's candidate in a 25 June 2012 provincial by-election in Rothesay, coming in third with 27 per cent of the vote. As leader, Cardy recruited a slate of candidates that included several prominent former Conservative and Liberal politicians including former Liberal cabinet minister Kelly Lamrock in Fredericton South; Bev Harrison, a former Conservative and Speaker of the legislature, in Hampton; former Liberal MLA Abel LeBlanc in Saint John-Lancaster and former Liberal candidate John Wilcox in Rothesay.[11] Former party leader Allison Brewer endorsed the Greens due to the policy positions of Cardy's NDP.[12] In the 2014 provincial election, Cardy ran as the party's candidate in Fredericton West-Hanwell.[12] Though it received 12.98 per cent of the vote in the 2014 provincial election, an all-time high for the NB NDP and its predecessor, the CCF, the party won no seats in the provincial legislature. Cardy himself lost to Brian Macdonald in Fredericton-Hanwell, and announced in his concession speech that he would resign as party leader effective at the party's next convention,[12] which has been postponed to January 2015. Cardy faced pressure to rescind his resignation and run in the Saint John East by-election which was called following the surprise resignation of newly elected Liberal MLA Gary Keating on 14 October 2014.[13] Cardy announced on 21 October that he would be standing in the by-election, scheduled for 17 November,[14] and delayed his resignation.[15] Cardy placed third in the by-election with 21.88 per cent of the vote.[16] Cardy agreed to remain as leader after the party's executive rejected his resignation on 10 December 2014 and a letter was signed at the party's provincial council by supporters and former candidates urging him to stay on. The party also offered Cardy a "livable" salary beginning in 2015 due to its improved financial position. Cardy had been working as leader on a volunteer basis since assuming the position in 2011 and had no legislative salary as he was not a member of the provincial legislature.[17] In early 2015, federal NDP MP Yvon Godin (Acadie—Bathurst) criticised Cardy's leadership and its conduct in the election campaign saying that Cardy had moved the provincial party too far to the centre. "The problem, I think, with the provincial party, with Dominic, was that I think he was too much to the right to even be in the centre, and I think people read into that," said Godin who added: "I think it did hurt the party. People were looking for the NDP, they were doing really well, and [voters] wanted change from the existing parties that we have now, who are serving the big corporations and forgetting about the people. I think that's what happened."[18] In the summer of 2016, Cardy expressed his support for the proposed Energy East pipeline and supported Alberta NDP Premier Rachel Notley's position against the Leap Manifesto.[19] He had earlier refused to endorse federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair's leadership, saying he was troubled by positions taking by the federal party during the 2015 federal election, and skipped the April 2016 federal party convention along with the leadership review that occurred during the meeting.[20] Resignation from the NDP [edit] Cardy resigned as party leader, as well as resigning his membership of both the federal and New Brunswick NDP,[21] on 1 January 2017, complaining of party infighting which he attributed to "destructive forces" colluding with CUPE New Brunswick, the province's largest public-sector union against his leadership.[22] Cardy said that he "cannot lead a party where a tiny minority of well-connected members refuse to accept the democratic will of the membership." He added that "[l]imited time and energy is being wasted on infighting before the election," and that "'Some New Democrats unfortunately believe change and openness have had their time. They want to return to an old NDP of true believers, ideological litmus tests and moral victories."[23] Cardy claimed that what he described as his "progressive" platform had been thwarted by both federal and provincial party members and denounced the federal party's non-interventionist stance on the Syrian Civil War as antithetical to his beliefs.[22] Conservative politics [edit] Cardy's appointment as strategic issues director for the opposition Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick was announced by party leader Blaine Higgs on 27 January 2017.[24] Cardy said it is "not my intention" to run for a legislative seat as a Progressive Conservative candidate but that a "great many" of his former colleagues in the NDP would be joining the Progressive Conservatives.[24] In April 2017, Cardy was promoted to the position of chief of staff to the official opposition New Brunswick Progressive Conservative caucus. Later that month he endorsed Maxime Bernier for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada.[25] Cardy was elected in the 2018 provincial election as the PC candidate in Fredericton West-Hanwell. He had run unsuccessfully in 2014 in the same riding as a New Democrat.[26] Cardy was re-elected in the 2020 provincial election. Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development [edit] This section needs expansion with: information about the 2021 CUPE strike. You can help by adding to it. (October 2021) Cardy was appointed as Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development on 9 November 2018.[27] During his time as department minister, Cardy signed the original version of Policy 713, which took into effect on August 17, 2020.[28] Removal of Chinese cultural programs from New Brunswick schools [edit] Minister Cardy spearheaded a plan to remove the Confucius Institute from all New Brunswick schools.[29] While the educational programs for elementary and middle schools were removed for the 2019–2020 school year, high school programs will not be removed until 2022.[29] Resignation [edit] Cardy resigned from his position as Minister of Education and Early Childhood Education on October 13, 2022.[30] Announcing his resignation on Twitter, Cardy explained that "At some point, working style and values have to matter." His resignation letter offered a more detailed explanation,[31] citing Premier Higgs' behaviour in a series of incidents. Cardy initially commitment to staying on as a Progressive Conservative but was expelled from caucus a day after resigning as minister.[32][2][3] He was replaced as minister by Bill Hogan.[33] Independent MLA [edit] Cardy remained in the legislature as an independent MLA for the rest of his term, while announcing he would not be running as a candidate in the 2024 New Brunswick general election.[4] Cardy said he would be voting for Susan Holt and the New Brunswick Liberal Party in the upcoming election in June 2024.[34] Federal politics and further activities (2023–present) [edit] On September 20, 2023, Cardy announced that he was in the process of founding a new federal political party, tentatively named the "Canadian Future Party" to occupy the middle ground between the Justin Trudeau-led Liberal Party of Canada and the Pierre Poilievre-led Conservative Party of Canada. Prior to its launch as a party, the group had been known first as "Centre Ice Conservatives" and then as "Centre Ice Canadians."[35][4] On July 22, 2024, Elections Canada recognized the Canadian Future Party as eligible for registration, pending it standing a candidate for election.[36][37] In July 2024, Cardy was arrested in Toronto for disturbing the peace after engaging in a confrontation at a pro-Palestine protest. According to Cardy, he chanted "Free Palestine from Hamas". Authorities stated that Cardy "behaved in a confrontational manner towards other protesters and did not follow police directions" to leave the area. He was released without charges.[38][39]
This week, Yvan Cliche, Fellow at CERIUM (Center for International Studies and Research) at Université de Montreal talks about the opportunities and issues for Canadian energy, including his perspective from Quebec. Here are some of the questions that Peter and Jackie asked Yvan: Will renewables lessen the dependence on oil and gas any time soon? Is Canada doing enough to help our allies during the Russia-Ukraine war? Does a cap on oil and gas emissions make any sense during a period of war and energy shortages? What do Quebecers think about oil pipelines in their province? What about LNG exports from Quebec? Is Quebec considered energy secure now? How could that change in the future? What are some of the interesting possibilities for Quebec energy in the future? Content referenced in this podcast: Yvan Cliché's recent book titled: “Jusqu'à plus soif: Pétrole-gaz-solaire-éolien : enjeux et conflits énergétiques” - English translation: “Until no longer thirsty: Oil-gas-solar-wind power: energy issues and conflicts”.

As the world faces an energy cruch and Europe an energy crisis, we look at what ultimately happened to multi-billlion-dollar energy projects which were set to be built and put into operation in Canada, delivering significant revenue to our national treasury and providing our allies with the energy they and the world still require. What happened to projects like Teck's Frontier mine, Northern Gateway and the Energy East pipelines? There was the Pacific Northwest LNG pipeline and British Columbia export terminal, as well as the Prince Rupert LNG project. Is it possible in today's Canadian regulatory environment to satisfy the process to build an oil or natural gas project from the start and how many years will securing permits take? Is investment money for Canada dried up because investors don't believe Canada is willing to bring its vast resources to the international marketplace? Guest: Professor Ken Coates.

In this episode we showcase one of Peter's Energyphile stories “Long Way Around.”In the preamble to the story, Peter and Jackie talk about Canadian energy security for oil. A Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) for Canada's eastern provinces would have helped during the 1970s oil price shocks, but is it still relevant today? Should the Energy East oil pipeline be reconsidered as a way to increase Canadian energy security?The Energyphile stories are also available on numerous podcast apps, including Apple iTunes Podcasts and Spotify.Content referenced in this week's podcast:See “Long Way Around” and other Energyphile stories History of Canadian Crude Oil Imports (2010 to 2021) by the Canada Energy Regulator (CER)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/
Today Lowell goes over why the Energy East pipeline is/was so important and why it's so devastating to Canada that it was not built. Why is Canada, one of the world's most oil rich countries having to import oil at all? If we had the pipeline we could be selling to Europe right now, and they wouldn't have to deal with Russia. We take your calls from across Canada and the USA today and hear from you via Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and Twitch.

Jean-François Thibault is a energy news commentator who appears frequently in various written and spoken media in Quebec. Energy East is a symbol of different things to different parts of the country, what do you think its demise means to Quebec? All projects have specific aspects of their development and implementation that become problematic, in the case of Energy East, there was the impact on gas consumers from taking existing gas transmission infrastructure out of service and convert to oil transport. How big a factor was this? What is your opinion of how the Trudeau government handled this project? It's apparent willingness to extend a de facto veto to Quebec, notwithstanding federal jurisdiction. Its changing of the rules on the regulatory process after literally billions has been spent. Energy East was always a project that was a third best option, in my view, in terms of required infrastructure, but it did have real shipping agreements underpinning it commercially. It provided real optionality and benefits to Quebec and Eastern Canada. And with minimal engineering risks, compared to crossing the Coastal Mountains. Why was this gift horse treated in such a hostile fashion?

But one thing is clear, she says, consumer demands are changing the landscape, forcing the region to look at low-carbon alternatives like wind farms and small modular reactors that aren't “your dad's Buick,” old-style nuclear reactors. Colleen joins host Mark Leger to talk about economic opportunities in this post-Energy East environment and they also chat about their shared love of hiking and travelling.

In the second of five “Home Office” conversations with party leaders, Huddle editor Mark Leger speaks with People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin. The party is best known for its criticisms of official bilingualism, but Austin also argues for lower business taxes, and responsible development of natural gas resources and the Energy East pipeline. Like David Coon of the Green Party, Austin believes a minority government works best for the people of the province.
The Roy Green Show Podcast - In recent days we became aware 24% of Albertans are carrying more than $40,000 of non-mortgage debt and 50% are living paycheque to paycheque. The national numbers concerning financial distress are hardly better. Polling by Ipsos for MNP Ltd., from earlier in 2019, showed that 46% of Canadians are less than $200 away from not being able to pay their debts. That should be a huge concern. Guest: Grant Bazian, President and CEO of MNP Ltd. - Dramatic changes have been made to the U.S. refugee and immigration policy. Canada must prepare itself for the repercussions, according to a new University of Calgary School of Public Policy report. Immigration expert Robert Falconer has released two reports examining the U.S. retreat from refugee resettlement and the U.S. asylum ban. Guest: Robert Falconer, Author of the reports - Tomorrow's national political party leaders debate and what lies ahead as the parties enter the final two weeks of the campaign. Where can they be aggressive and where must they do damage control? The Beauties and the Beast panel reconvenes to discuss these questions and more. Guests: Catherine Swift, WorkingCanadians.com (former president & CEO at CFIB) Linda Leatherdale, VP of Cambria Canada (former editor MONEY section Toronto Sun) Michelle Simson, Formerr LPM MP & seatmate to Justin Trudeau during Question Period - A report released last year by the Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI) found that if refineries in central and Atlantic Canada substituted Canadian oil whenever possible for the foreign oil imported into Canada – and if extending the current transportation system by construction of a new pipeline equal to the cancelled Energy East pipeline – the eight refineries in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Newfoundland would be able to replace 57% of imported oil at an annual saving of $317 million, while simultaneously cutting GHG's by two million tonnes. Guest: Allan Fogwill, CEO, CERI - IPSOS President and CEO Darrell Bricker joins us to speak to two of his books. The Big Shift which speaks to major shifts in Canada's immigration policies and numbers of immigrants and how that reality affects Canada's political landscape (e.g., many of the newcomers are philosophically conservative.) In Empty Planet, Darrell Bricker makes the argument that the global population is headed for a steep decline and in some countries this has already begun, in contrast to much of the climate change panic being centered on a supposedly very rapidly increasing global population.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Bob Mitchell is an Albertan and a 45-year veteran of the Alberta oil fields. Mr. Mitchell has traveled the world's oil producing regions. After several conversations with him about the challenges of being in the oil sands business, Roy invited him on the show, to share a message for his fellow Canadians. Last weekend, Premiers Jason Kenney of Alberta and Blaine Higgs of New Brunswick both spoke on the program about equalization payments to Quebec and the Premier of Quebec Francois Legault maintaining he doesn't want oil from the West crossing the province in a new state-of-the-art pipeline (Energy East) delivering such oil & products to New Brunswick's Irving refinery in St. John. A look back to last December and a Leger poll of Quebec residents for the Montreal Economic Institute on the issue of Alberta oil and a pipeline crossing the province shows a very different picture as Quebecers support both Alberta oil and a pipeline. It's time to revisit the results of the Leger poll. Will TMX be the final pipeline for Canada? And have C-69 and C-48 kneecapped Canada's economy? Running $20 billion deficits with the national debt approaching $700 billion (in supposed good times) where will the revenue come from to pay for Canada's social programs, health care, pensions and more with the Canadian energy industry (AB & SK) locked up, while foreign energy (oil) remains welcome in tanker-happy Eastern Canada? A Canadian mayor is sounding the alarm … again. Mayor Lori Ackerman of the City of Fort St. John, British Columbia appeared before Canada's Senate on May 13 this year during the Senate hearings on Bill C-69. With the Canadian Senate signing off on C-69 (the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act) and C-48 the oil tanker ban bill (B.C.), what awaits? Global News broke the story of controversial appointments made by Ontario Premier Doug Ford's office. They include 26-year-old Tyler Albrecht, a friend of the son of, until yesterday, Ford's Chief of Staff Dean French. Albrecht's job would have consisted of being an agent-general for Ontario based in New York City and would came with a $164,000 salary. Global News also found another possible connection exists between French and Taylor Shields, who's based in London and is a cousin of French's wife. Both appointments were cancelled by the Ontario Premier. And the Danforth mass shooting in Toronto leaves many questions unanswered. Roy's guest has focused his coverage on the shooting and subsequent police investigation since it took place. Guests: Bob Mitchell Germain Belzile, Senior Associate Researcher with the Montreal Economic Institute Dan McTeague. Senior petroleum analyst at Gasbuddy.com, and former Liberal MP of 18 years Lori Ackerman, Mayor of Fort St. John, B.C. Joe Warmington, Columnist with the Toronto Sun.

The cancellation of the Energy East pipeline project by TransCanada Corporation, citing delays caused by the regulatory process, newly lengthened and thickened by Ottawa, is emblematic of forces conspiring against rational energy and regulatory policy.
The Roy Green Show Podcast - Yesterday Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs and CPC leader Andrew Scheer participated at a pipeline capacity increase rally at Moosomin, Saskatchewan. The point was to draw attention to the controversial Bill C-69 which will create major changes to review of proposed energy projects. Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan court challenge of the Trudeau government's imposition of a carbon tax on the province is currently underway. And Premier Blaine Higgs insists the Energy East pipeline construction issue must be revisited as his province experiences daily the importation of hundreds of thousands of barrels of foreign oil for New Brunswick refineries like the Irving refinery in Saint John. Premiers Scott Moe and Blaine Higgs join Roy to start the podcast, and discuss these issues. What does happen when an MP refuses an offer or refuses to buckle under pressure from the party leader and party whip who demand that MP end a personal practice? The story of former Liberal MP Michelle Simson answers that question. She was posting all of her MP expenses online, and she was sanctioned by party leadership for refusing to end this practice. Michelle joins fellow former Liberal MP Dan McTeague, to discuss the current state of the Liberal party and how she was handled. We touch base again with the organizers of the 80+ strong United We Roll truck convoy which left Red Deer, Alberta earlier in the week and now is in Ontario. The convoy is making its way to Ottawa for a protest rally on Tuesday, to alert the federal government to the economic plight of many thousands who work in the Western Canadian energy sector and to challenge Bills C-69 and C-48. And if a parliamentary ethics commissioner finds wrongdoing what is the actual penalty? Parliamentary ethics commissioner Mario Dion has announced an investigation into whether Justin Trudeau/the PMO pressured former Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to persuade federal prosecutors to not go forward with a criminal trial of SNC-Lavalin. Former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Brian Peckford writes on his blog: "As usual we go through the motions, trying to maintain that such 'motions' constitute real accountability. The falsity of it all is breathtaking." - Guests: Scott Moe. Premier of Saskatchewan Blaine Higgs.

The Roy Green Show Podcast - Canada's newest Premier worries the Canadian federation is fractured, and is calling on the Trudeau government to not funnel nearly 70% of equalization to Quebec and supports resumption of interest in Energy East and challenges Trudeau's national carbon tax. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe joins the program for a year-end look at the Carbon tax, Western Canada's energy sector, the Trudeau government. And then Premier Moe discusses the coming court case in which Saskatchewan will challenge whether the federal government has the constitutional right to impose a tax over the specific objections of a directly affected provincial government. With a national election just 10 months away, Roy talks with President and CEO of Ipsos Darrell Bricker, to find out what Ipsos has heard from Canadians. How are Trudeau and the federal Liberals holding up, in the public's opinion? A massive truck convoy is in the works, to travel from Western Canada to Ottawa as a visible and audible expression of Western frustration with the Trudeau government's indifference for the energy industry. In May of 2009 Bela Kosoian was a University of Montreal law student, and a multilingual immigrant from the former Soviet Union. Kosoian failed to hold the handrail on an escalator in Montreal, and was challenged by a Montreal police officer. When she questioned why the officer was aggressive with her, she was confronted by a second officer at the bottom of the escalator. Bela was handcuffed, arrested and charged with ignoring a pictogram which told her to hold onto the escalator hand rail. The case has wound its way through Quebec courts over 9 years, including the Court of Appeal. Now the Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear the case. As with any Supreme Court decision, the impact will be nation-wide. Guests: Premier Blaine Higgs, of New Brunswick Premier Scott Moe, of Saskatchewan Darrell Bricker, President/CEO of Ipsos Nicole Wapple, of Rally 4 Resources, Alberta Bela Kosoian See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Roy Green Show Podcast - Roy talked with a clearly frustrated and angry Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan. The Premier had learned that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had stated in a year-end interview that “there is no project on the table” for resuming the Energy East pipeline. The Prime Minister when on to say that “there is clarity under the current approach, there is no support for a pipeline through Quebec.” Obviously, this sentiment does not sit well with many people, as it seems like Quebec makes the decision as far as Canada's Prime Minister is concerned. Roy plays back his conversation with Premier Moe. The “Gilets Jaunes,” or “Yellow Vests,” continue to protest in France for the fifth weekend in a row. The protests have spread to Belgium and the Netherlands, and there is talk of unrest growing in Austria and perhaps Germany as well as the U.K. Professor Cheryl Benard is the President of ARCH International, a Washington-based non-profit research and advocacy organization with a presence in Iraq, she joins Roy to explain what is happening in Europe. Then, Professor Benard discusses the law Donald Trump has signed to protect Christians in Iraq and Syria, and MP Michelle Rempel addresses what Canada is doing for the threatened Yazidi people in Iraq. In 2001, the so-called Alberta “Firewall Letter” was delivered to then Premier Ralph Klein, urging him to stand up for Alberta against Ottawa and rid of Alberta of many federal connections. One of the letter's signatories, Dr. Ted Morton, joins us to talk about the current state of affairs in Alberta, and Canada as a whole. Dr. David Thompson is a retired Manitoba veterinarian and a strong supporter of the Roy Green Show. Last week he reached his 100th birthday, and Roy invited him on the show to celebrate. Guests: Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan Professor Cheryl Benard, President of ARCH International, adjunct researcher with the RAND corporation, formerly taught political science at the University of Vienna; author of ‘Eurojihad' and ‘Civil Democratic Islam' MP Michelle Rempel, Federal Conservative Immigration Critic Dr. Ted Morton, Executive-in-Residence at the school of Public Policy at the University of Calgary; Senior Fellow, Energy and the Environment, at the Manning Foundation; served as Minister of Energy, Minister of Finance, and Minister of Sustainable Resources Development with the Government of Alberta Dr. David Thompson, retired veterinarian See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Roy Green Show Podcast - Next Tuesday new federal legislation will allow police to demand a breath sample from a motorist even if there is no suspicion of drinking and driving. Is this a violation of constitutional rights? The Canadian Civil Liberties Association worries the legislation will be discriminatory toward minorities. Our guest Richard Lawhern, Ph.D. Director of Research with the Alliance for the Treatment of Intractable Pain, says “There are several provable falsehoods in” in a new article from U of T magazine, ‘How The Medical System is Trying to Wean Patients Off Opioids.' Most blatantly false is the stated position that physicians over-prescribing to their patients is in any way even related to significant elevation risk for opioid addiction or mortality. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Energy East will never proceed because “there is no support for a pipeline through Quebec.” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe joins the show, to remind Trudeau that he is Prime Minister all Canada's Provinces and Territories, not just Quebec. Omar Khadr is seeking changes in his bail conditions. Why didn't Khadr's lawyers appeal for full parole in 2015? Scott Newark says that Khadr was eligible for it at the time. Then, Scott Newark takes on Michael Rafferty's transference to a medium security prison. Guests: Ari Goldkind, Toronto Criminal Lawyer Michael Bryant, Executive Director and general counsel with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Former Ontario Attorney General Richard Lawhern, Ph.D. Director of Research with the Alliance for the Treatment of Intractable Pain Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Newark, Professor with Simon Fraser University, national security expert (post 9/11 advisor to federal and Ontario governments), and former senior policy advisor to a federal Minister for Public Safety See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Despite many similarities and a shared independent streak, Quebec and Alberta have found themselves on opposite sides in a back and forth over the idea of revamping the Energy East pipeline idea. Quebec’s premier had some harsh words for Alberta oil, Alberta’s premier responded in kind. We look at the specifics of the debate about a pipeline, what both premiers have said, and what Francois Legault brought the table for his debut at the first ministers meeting. Dave is joined by Montreal Gazette National Assembly reporter Philip Authier. Update: Quebec sources 82 per cent of its oil from North American sources, according to National Bank of Canada. A different figure was reported within the episode.
Alex is joined by Bob Richardson, Senior Counsel at NATIONAL Public Relations, and Anthony Furey, Sun / Postmedia columnist & national comment editor. Topics include: The first Ministers meeting having no major walk-outs, but issues arising, Quebec Premier, Legault, refuses to allow any discussion on Energy East, Huawei CFO, Meng Wanzhou, wanted for fraud in U.S., court hears and more.
The Calgary Herald’s Don Braid and Chris Varcoe have lots to talk about on today’s Inside Alberta podcast. They discuss the fallout from oil price curtailment, Premier Rachel Notley is in Montreal saying that she can’t get to the table, New Brunswick wants the Energy East pipeline. But perhaps the biggest story—Premier Rachel Notley announced Sunday that Alberta would slash oil production temporarily by 8.7 per cent starting in January, amounting to about 325,000 barrels per day (bpd).
A big promise of the Trudeau Liberal campaign in 2015 was a complete rewriting of the Federal Environmental Review process. There was no question the 2012 Canadian Environmental Assessment Act was a failure. When you have panels of review agencies resigning over conflicts of interest, it's time to start over. The courts cancelled Northern Gateway, with just cause due to the flawed review process. As citizens began to impede the road for Energy East, the re-opening possibility of Keystone XL south of the border let TCPL return to their preferred plan while Big Oil sycophants claimed "Trudeau did it". Then Kinder Morgan, the Bricklin of the oilpatch. Nothing says the existing system is broken better than the full stop put on TMX for the same issues that killed NGP. The badly needed replacement legislation, Bill C-69, has 412 pages, removes 2 Acts from the books, establishes 2 new Acts and amends many more. The bill has been advanced with Time Allocation twice, has adopted approximately 130 amendments of 320 proposed, defeated six further amendment votes and gone on to the Senate where things are not as comfy for the Liberals. What guaranteed failure of the old environmental regime was the regulations written to enable it. They delivered flawed processes with an unacceptable level of science, consultation, scrutiny or diligence. It was written for applicants, not Canadians. And what progress has the government made on new regulations? Anyone? Bueller? This Prime Minister said no omnibus legislation on his watch. Bill C-69 is omnibus legislation. He and his Ministry said environmental regulations would be developed in parallel with this bill moving forward. There is zero evidence available to confirm this, yet the bill is now 2/3 the way to becoming law. A shiny sales pitch is not proof of a good product. Many opponents from all parties remain against it. The View Up Here looks at where C-69 is and needs to get to.

The Northern Gateway, Energy East, and Pacific Northwest LNG Pipeline proposals have been scrapped. Scotiabank estimates that the Canadian economy forfeits $15.6 billion per year as other pipeline proposals await approval. Has this happened because Canadians organically and collectively decided the environmental impact was too great? No. This actually happened because uber-rich American environmental foundations planned and paid for this very result.

TD Bank research shows that over a 7 year period, the Canadian economy lost $117 billion by being essentially forced to sell our oil at a major discount to the United States.

What is the fundamental reason behind all the shootings and deaths in the United States? An epidemiologist at the University of Illinois argues the shootings are a 'public health issue'.

Stefan starts off the show with a review on "the price of oil" as it pertains to both economic externalities associated with oil production but also the human welfare cost in real lives of both oil workers and the communities these companies operate in. He follows the story of one particular case of 'sour gas' injuring workers as well as the larger story of the media narrative (or lack there of) that we hear about in the newspaper and on TV. Fear and money breed silence in Saskatchewan How the reporters in an historic Canadian journalism collaboration cornered a silent killer Wall government dodges questions about dangerous industry failures Our guest this week is Britt Wray, author of 'Rise of the Necrofauna: The Science, Ethics, and Risks of the De-Extinction'. Britt helps Saryn understand the technology involved in such a feat requires, the surprising array of companies already working on this technology (and how far they've already come) as well as the moral and logistical issues associated with implementing such a high-tech revitalization of the natural order. This topic is sure to evoke strong opinions on both sides, but like it or not these technologies are coming and the time to talk about them is now. The most important distinction to make here is that the purpose is NOT a 'Jurassic Park' style entertainment basis for such work, but rather the revitalization of devastation wrought by human actions over the last several hundred or thousands of years. Relax, dinosaurs are not coming back any time soon. Publisher Page for Rise of the Necrofauna Science is inching closer to bringing species back from extinction — but the rise of necrofauna has risks In the final section, Saryn and Stefan talk about the just announced cancelling of the TransCanada Energy East pipeline. Environmental activists are happy, many others are not but aside from discussing the news (and how it all happened) the hosts also discuss the most important component of why this story is important that the corporate media isn't talking about which is that this IS NOT a case of environment VS economy, and that really everyone should be happy about this (yes, even oil workers).

A lot has happened in the past month. As usual all interconnected. Dennis responds to the following questions: First, yesterday TransCanada announced a suspension of the Energy East project. I know this is connected to the highly controversial re-scoping decision of the NEB. Can you put this into context for us? Why would the Trudeau government not want to see this project proceed? Why would any Canadian government not want it to proceed? Related to all of this, where is the Trudeau government going on regulatory reform? And why? Also, unfolding is the Alberta leadership race, where are those aspiring leaders stand on carbon and energy development?
Energy East pipeline is going into a holding pattern in anticipation of new climate test standards that may kill the project. Ongoing extreme weather across the world and a conversation whether rhetoric can and should be escalated in response to escalating climate impacts.

Policy Horizons Canada is a strategic foresight organization within the Public Service of Canada with a mandate to help anticipate emerging policy challenges and opportunities, explore new ideas, and experiment with methods and technologies to support resilient policy development. Sounds very noble and benign, doesn't it? A group of professional policy wonks doing what they do best. Research, comparison and modeling using extrapolated data and solid prediction methods. Gathering the best and most reliable information to base future policy on. So why has nobody heard of them? Ask government, any government, and the answer will be the same. Truths are not always politically useful. In fact, truths are more likely than not to be politically inconvenient. This is why "Horizons" toils invisibly in the background of the system. To minimize real attention on their work by those pesky, interfering citizens. There is nothing preventing the government of the day from completely ignoring their reports, despite the facts within. In March 2016, Horizons released a paper titled "Canada 2030 - Canada in a Changing Global Energy Landscape". This is less than 15 years away, and the findings are pretty straightforward to grasp. Fossil fuels are declining much faster than previously thought possible in the global energy mix. Canada is positioned to be a world leader in renewable and alternative energy generation and storage. But what do we hear and see from governments? Pipelines like NGP, Energy East, TransMountain for declining value products with high volatility. Hydro power generation like Site C and Muskrat Falls that show declining demand and poor profitability long before they are on-line. Billions in annual subsidies to Big Oil because their business models don't work. The facts are out there, yet governments choose to ignore them, at OUR peril. Why? It's time to ask.

When is dirty oil not dirty? When you call it something else. We rarely talk about the other markets the tar sands people have in their sights. One of them is Europe. The proposed pipeline for moving tar sands oil across Canada is called Energy East. Robert Van Waarden, photographer, decided to go along the proposed route and see what people thought about possibly living next to a pipeline.
The show opens with Ben West, the Tar Sands Campaign Director for ForestEthics. Ben joins us to update on the Energy East pipeline as it applies with the National Energy Boards, and the effects of recent rail disasters on public perception of tar sands safety. Our main feature this week is part one of a two part interview with Hayley Lapalme from My Sustainable Canada and Dave Kranenberg Director of Programming for the Centre for Social Innovation (and former Executive Director of Meal Exchange).
