Podcasts about MOU

Today is a holiday special edition of the podcast. It begins with a notice to Apple inc.  As update 26.1 has basically locked up their phones.  I discuss the tale of two coaching firings to ask the question. Where they covered differently because the possibility of less clicks or is this a two America's situation?  From there I weighed in on the mis-understanding on the M.O.U. (memo of understanding) that states starting next year if Notre Dame is in the top 12 of ranked teams, they automatically will be included in the CFP. Who knew about the memo and when they all knew. Lastly, a look at sport  team culture. Why it has taken a turn for the better or worst. The worst of man. Why are coaches using God/Religion as a tool for their team culture? Have they run out of tools to motivate athletes or just being lazy with a tool that can't be question.   Title Sponsor: minnesotapersonalinjury.com Sponsor: www.Linkzarts.com www.jaybeesgloverepair.com   #RELIGION, #CULTURE, #MOU, #TRANSFERPORTAL, #COACHES, #TWOAMERICAS, #OHIOU, #SHARRONEMOORE, #BRIANSMITH,     

The MOU granting $15M to the Nashville Downtown Partnership to purchase surveillance technology (among other things) has once again been deferred by Metro Council, with support from a surprising source. WNXP's morning host Celia Gregory joins host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to share how the proposed surveillance could impact members of our city's music community. Plus, Elon's tunnel has been environmentally assessed, the mayor isn't on board with the idea to put affordable housing at the Fairgrounds, and dating in Nashville is a dumpster fire.

Tim Shearcroft,  CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSXV: BPAG), joins me for a comprehensive introduction to this newly listed silver and polymetallic exploration company focused on exploration of their flagship asset, the Cosuño Project; which is strategically located in the prolific Bolivian silver belt. Additionally, the Company is working on finalizing the title at their Titiri Project, located in a major under-explored silver belt with Tier 1 discovery potential.   We start off getting an overview of how the Company, projects, and team came together privately and then it was just publicly listed on September 29th of this year.  We discuss the prospectivity of Bolivia for mineral exploration and exploitation, the handful of companies that have made solid advancements on their projects in country, and how the political administration has recently changed to become more amenable to foreign business investment and mineral extraction.    Next we get into the details announced on December 17th, highlighting the successful completion of its Phase 1 diamond drilling program at the Cosuño Silver Project, located in the Department of Potosí, Bolivia. A total of 11 diamond drill holes totaling 906 meters were completed, testing four high-priority targets in the lithocap that may host an epithermal silver deposit. Samples from the first two drill holes have been submitted to an independent geochemical laboratory for analysis. Final core logging, sample preparation, and shipment of the remaining samples will be completed prior to the conclusion of the program later in December, with initial assay results expected in early January 2026.   Additionally, their team is working with the government to finalize obtaining the title to begin exploration on their Titiri Project.   Titiri was staked over a large land concession containing outcropping mineralization historically explored by ASARCO.  This Project contains a 2.5km-long silver-lead-zinc zone, with excellent historical trench results, that was never drilled. Titiri is a very High Priority structural setting at the intersection of several major crustal-scale faults, along which multiple deposits occur.  There is a MOU in place with local communities, and they'd like to get on the ground for exploration in mid-2026.   Wrapping up, Tim shared his background and the experience of their strong technical team and with a substantial experience exploring and operating in Bolivia and Latin America. We covered the financial health of the company, share structure and warrants, and envisioned work strategy and plan moving into next year.   If you have any questions for Tim regarding BP Silver, then please email those into me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news for BP Silver   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

We're closing out the year with our final podcast of 2025, looking back at the biggest stories and revisiting the predictions we made at the start of the year. How did we do? 2025 delivered volatility and plenty of surprises, along with a long list of developments with real consequences for energy, both clean energy and traditional oil and gas. We cover major policy shifts, including the election of the Mark Carney Liberals in Canada, the introduction of Bill C-5, the launch of the Major Projects Office, the Ottawa–Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and growing political support for LNG. We also review changes in the United States, including tariffs and the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which rolled back many of America's generous clean energy subsidies.  Another recurring theme this year was the surge in expectations for AI data center electricity demand—including in Canada, where three proposed projects in Alberta are moving closer to a final investment decision.It's been a whirlwind year. Jackie and Peter wish everyone a wonderful holiday break, and we'll return in 2026.Content referenced in this podcast:  The Hub.ca, Have we really hit peak oil?

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and World Cup 2026 chat. The Whitecaps' offseason certainly didn't get off to a slow start, with a lot to talk about already.

Plus, with the 2026 World Cup now six months away, the furore around ticket prices has increased, but do FIFA care and will they bow to any of the pressure? Music-wise, it's December, so you know what that means - the return of AFTN's Festive Fifteen!

Ottawa and Alberta have a new energy MOU—but will a pipeline actually get built? BC's premier is suddenly shifting his stance, yet he still wants an oil-tanker ban. So what's the point of a pipeline? Meanwhile, BC First Nations have already voted no. Will PM Mark Carney let them veto the entire project? What policies will get Canada's economy moving again? No one seems to have a plan. Join me and my guests Catherine Swift from the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers & Businesses of Canada, and Chris Bloomer from the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents -In yesterday's broadcast, Jennifer Lash, a former senior advisor from Environment and Climate Change Canada, explained that  the Prime Minister had to make an MOU with Alberta in order to bring that province on board to initiate further climate initiatives. The potential cost was building a pipeline across BC, but she believes the opposition in BC is too strong for this to become a reality. She also talked about other past and present Liberal environmental policies. Max Thaysen from Cortes Island's Climate Action Network responds in this morning's interview.

Brian Crombie is joined by Dr. Heather Exner-Pirot, one of Canada's foremost voices on energy policy, pipelines, Indigenous relations, and resource development. Central to the national discussion on Canada's new Pipeline MOU, Heather breaks down why it's a major political and economic talking point. In this episode, Heather explores:

Energy planners used to talk about a “trilemma”: reliability, affordability and sustainability.As AI reshapes the global economy and data centres demand thousands of megawatts of new load, Alberta is adding a fourth leg to the stool — velocity — turning it into an energy quadlema.At the edge of Wabamun Lake west of Edmonton, the Keephills and Sundance power sites are being reimagined from coal-era workhorses into “AI-ready” power hubs. TransAlta is converting units to natural gas, opening up land for data centres and using existing transmission and cooling infrastructure to shorten the path from project to power.In this episode of Disruptors: The Canada Project, John Stackhouse speaks with Premier Danielle Smith and John Kousinioris, President & CEO of TransAlta, about how Alberta is experimenting with a new “bring your own power” model for hyperscalers — and how the recent Canada–Alberta energy MOU aims to unlock thousands of megawatts of AI computing capacity.Alberta is positioning itself as a testing ground for how countries can build domestic compute on their own grids — instead of just exporting raw energy — while navigating an energy quadlema of reliability, affordability, sustainability and speed to power.

As hundreds of First Nations leaders gathered last week in Ottawa for their annual December meeting, the federal-provincial memorandum of understanding for a new pipeline to Asian markets was high on the agenda. The Assembly of First Nations chiefs voted unanimously on Tuesday to demand the withdrawal of the deal and expressed full support for First Nations on the British Columbia coast strongly opposing the initiative. Anna Johnston is a lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law and author of a brief on the legal and historical risk of a Northwest coast pipeline. management. We speak with her about the MOU and the risks of pursuing a new pipeline from Alberta to the BC coast.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and World Cup draw chat. And I think this might be our longest episode so far! Vancouver Whitecaps' 2025 season came to a heartbreaking end against Inter Miami in Saturday's MLS Cup. It was a battling performance but they were beaten by Messi and themselves in the end, leaving a bitter tinge of what could have been, but it shouldn't overshadow what has been the club's best season ever. We pick over the bones of the game, chat about how the Whitecaps take that next step now after the bar has been set so high, and hear from head coach Jesper Sorensen about that. We also chat about the Whitecaps end of season roster decisions, managing the squad and the salary cap next season, and the big talking point that will carry on over the offseason, the club's stadium issues both at their current home at BC Place and their desire to build a new stadium up at the Hastings Racecourse. The latter seems closer, with a possible announcement of a MOU coming this week, but the former still doesn't appear to have both sides close to an agreement. We also hear from Whitecaps GM Axel Schuster about it all and BC Place GM Chris May. And there's time to delve into the farcical 2026 World Cup draw that feels like it still might be going on! We look at the paths ahead for Canada, Scotland, and the matches we'll host here in Vancouver. Music-wise, it's December, so you know what that means - the return of AFTN's Festive Fifteen! Our countdown of our favourite tracks of the year continues with the songs at positions 10 to 12, plus we have a World Cup themed song in Wavelength.

The new memorandum of understanding on a potential oil pipeline to the West Coast stipulates that any such project from Alberta would require Indigenous co-ownership. In light of high-profile opposition from Coastal First Nations leaders in B.C., Indigenous Resource Network executive director John Desjarlais joins Alberta Edge to explain what meaningful consultation and relationship-building look like in 2025. He breaks down the diversity of views among First Nations across Alberta and B.C., what a future pipeline deal might entail, and why a "unanimous" resolution from the Assembly of First Nations calling for the immediate withdrawal of the energy MOU doesn't tell the whole story.   This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

There are many takes on the big Carney-Smith energy agreement – we thought you could use one more.The new Canada–Alberta MOU unveiled last Thursday is already generating more chatter than a pipeline hearing, and has set off a fresh round of debate about economy, emissions, and where the country is headed on energy. The hot takes have been flying. Naturally, we couldn't resist adding our own, so we grabbed the mics the next day to sort through what it all means.And because we weren't the only ones buzzing after the news dropped, we're also bringing you five on-the-ground reactions from attendees at EvC Calgary pop-up event the day the announcement landed. You'll hear those right after ours — a kind of post-MOU tasting flight, if you will.Send us a text (if you'd like a response, please include your email)Energy vs Climate relies on the support of our generous listenersDonate to keep EvC going.

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Alberta and the Canadian federal government was signed on November 27, 2025. It declared a shared goal of making Canada a global energy superpower by building one or more privately financed oil pipelines, co-owned with Indigenous Peoples, to ship at least 1 million barrels per day of low-emission Alberta bitumen, prioritizing routes to Asian markets, and submitting an application to the Major Projects Office by July 1.   Building the pipeline requires building the large-scale oil sands Pathways carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. Alberta and the federal government will also engage with the Government of British Columbia on the pipeline initiative. Among other commitments, the MOU pledges to suspend the Canadian Electricity Regulations (CER) as they apply to Alberta and to scrap the proposed nationwide oil and gas emissions cap for producers. Further details are expected to be finalized by April 1. To unpack this tectonic shift in Alberta–Ottawa relations—along with the first wave of media coverage and the deal's potential benefits for Canada —Peter and Jackie are joined by guest Deborah Yedlin, President and CEO of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce. Content referenced in this podcast:Canada-Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (November 27, 2025) Angus Reid Institute Polling on Support and Opposition for Alberta-BC Pipeline (November 27, 2025) CBC At Issues Panel on Carney's Alberta Pipeline Partnership (November 28, 2025)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

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are extolling the benefits of their new energy understanding. But there is scepticism. Members of Alberta's United Conservative Party say the MOU signed with Ottawa doesn't do enough to get a new pipeline built.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith put pen to paper this past week, signing an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in hopes of strengthening Canada's economy and lessen our dependence on the U.S.Plans for an independently-funded pipeline through British Colombia are in the works, depending on approval from the Major Projects Office and hinged on Indigenous co-ownership.However, not everyone is on board with the terms of the MOU, especially Premier David Eby, as well as Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault who has resigned from the cabinet on Thursday.Host Mark Day speaks to Cormac Mac Sweeney, CityNews Parliament Hill reporter to break down what's needed for this pipeline to materialize in the years to come, and how this MOU could play out for Carney's Liberals. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstoryfpn on Twitter

It wasn't a victory lap for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith over her MOU with Ottawa that supports an oil pipeline on Friday, as she told the UCP base at their annual meeting that "I hope people today feel a lot more confident that Canada works than they did a couple of days ago" — and was met with a chorus of boos. Plus, Vancouver Liberal MP Taleeb Noormohamed and Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Eleanor Olszewski defend against objections to the MOU from First Nations and the B.C. premier, and skepticism coming from some within Alberta that Ottawa is serious about allowing a pipeline to happen.

Alberta and Ottawa have sealed a new “grand bargain” – a long-awaited memorandum of understanding that could pave the way for a major new bitumen pipeline to B.C.'s remote northwest coast.Joining West of Centre host Kathleen Petty to dissect this week's deal are Gitane De Silva, former CEO of the Canada Energy Regulator; Emma Graney, Globe and Mail energy reporter; and Mike McDonald, former chief of staff to B.C. premier Christy Clark and co-host of Hotel Pacifico, a podcast focusing on politics on the West Coast.They discuss the dramatic shift in the relationship between Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ottawa; the MOU's "impossible-is-now-possible" dynamic; a fascinating subplot that's forming for the federal Conservatives, who represent the riding where a bitumen pipeline may end its long-distance run from Alberta; and why achieving this agreement was likely the easiest step in a marathon process.Host: Kathleen Petty | Producer and editor: Diane Yanko | Guests: Gitane De Silva, Emma Graney, Mike McDonald

The federal government signed a memorandum of understanding with Alberta yesterday, pledging support to build a new pipeline and make changes to environmental regulations. Prime Minister Mark Carney celebrated a "big day" for Alberta and Canada, but opposition to the deal was vast, including from environmental groups, B.C's Premier, Coastal First Nations, and even within the Liberal Caucus. After the deal was signed, Stephen Guilbeault resigned from Carney's Cabinet. So what did the Liberals get out of this? We asked one of them. MP Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, joins us to talk about why he sees the MoU as a win for the environment, what he makes of the backlash, and what the path forward is for a pipeline that doesn't have buy-in from B.C. and affected Indigenous communities. We also try to get to the bottom of a simple question: does Canada need another pipeline? We speak to Andrew Leach, professor of economics and law at the University of Alberta, Dale Beugin, executive vice president at the Canadian Climate Institute, and Janetta McKenzie, ddirector of oil and gas at the Pembina Institute. Hosted by Althia Raj. This episode of "It's Political" was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton, and mixed by Matt Hearn. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel. Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC and CBC

Former climate minister Steven Guilbeault stepped down from Liberal cabinet just hours after Alberta and Ottawa signed an MOU that supports an oil pipeline on Thursday, saying it would have 'major environmental impacts' and criticizing the lack of consultation with B.C. and Indigenous groups. Power & Politics speaks with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Energy Minister Tim Hodgson on why they're convinced the deal creates a real path forward on a pipeline, then hears from B.C. Premier David Eby on why he thinks the agreement is an 'energy vampire' that distracts from projects that will actually be built.

This week seems to be all pipelines all the time. Alberta and Canada seem close to a deal on a memorandum of understanding about a new pipeline to the west coast. But now how do you make that MOU become a real finalized deal because let's face it, pipelines in Canada are hard to build. James Moore and Gerald Butts talk pipelines and the shift topics to talk jet fighters and the intense lobbying going on for those.

Experts say vaccine rollouts for RSV in recent years are making a difference to the number of infant hospitalizations.

Description: Speaking to Power & Politics host David Cochrane, sources within Liberal caucus used words including 'angry' to describe their reaction to Prime Minister Mark Carney's coming agreement with Alberta that supports its push for an oil pipeline. B.C. Liberal MP Jonathan Wilkinson advises his colleagues to take a breath, and says he's 'quite confident' that the MOU will seek the support of B.C. and Indigenous communities. Plus, B.C. Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions Adrian Dix argues a deal between Ottawa and Alberta set for this week puts consent for B.C.'s own projects — and Canada's broader economic transformation — at risk.

Important update for all Delta pilots. In this Engage Alert, host First Officer Ryan Argenta is joined by First Officer Mark Hinczynski (Contract Administration & Enforcement) and Captain Ian Turner (Scheduling) to break down a newly agreed-upon MOU between the Company and ALPA. What's inside: Click-to-Sick / Sick Lookback: The Company will pause counting sick hours toward lookback retroactive to the July 2025 bid period and going forward until verified compliance. Sick-leave verification tied to exceeding 120 hours is paused during this period. QHCP—Permanent PWA Change: The PWA now permanently broadens “Qualified Health Care Provider” beyond MD/DO, allowing verification via telehealth and additional licensed providers. New “Quick Slip” Step of Coverage: A seniority-based, no-trigger premium step added to coverage. Awarded in a single 12-minute ARCOS window, less opportunities for deal-making, added step before emergency coverage (inverse assignment). Leveling rules apply. Timing: Programming for Quick Slip is targeted for Q2 2026; interim protections remain in force until compliance is confirmed. Compliance will be jointly assessed (including pilot DARTs). Action items: Read the MOU language, contact your LEC reps with questions, and send DARTs to Contract Admin for issues.
