The Indigenous-led Ksi Lisims LNG project has received its environmental assessment certificate. The project is being advanced through a partnership of the Nisga'a Nation, Rockies LNG and Western LNG. “There's never been a more critical time to diversify our economy and reduce reliance on the U.S., and B.C. is leading the way in Canada, with clean electricity, skilled workers and strong partnerships with First Nations,” said Premier David Eby. “I want to congratulate Nisga'a Nation and their partners on this important project milestone and the opportunity it represents for the Nisga'a people and local communities.” Once operational, Ksi Lisims LNG is expected to contribute up to $16.8 billion in GDP to the Canadian economy over 30 years and as much as $15.5 billion could occur in B.C. The project has the potential to generate thousands of employment opportunities in Canada over the construction and operating life of the project. It is anticipated that as many as 800 workers will be employed at the site during peak construction, with a permanent workforce of as many as 250 people. “This milestone reflects the strength of Indigenous leadership and our commitment to sustainable economic self-determination,” said Eva Clayton, president of Nisg̱a'a Lisims Government. “Ksi Lisims LNG represents a transformational opportunity for all participating B.C. Nations, and it will be developed in line with our Nation's high environmental standards. This is what reconciliation looks like: a modern Treaty Nation once on the sidelines of our economy, now leading a project that will help write the next chapter of a stronger, more resilient Canada.” The facility is expected to have the capacity to export approximately 12 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas every year to overseas markets in Asia where demand for cleaner fuels continues to grow. “We extend our sincere appreciation to the dedicated members of the public service for their extensive work during this environmental assessment,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions. “We would also like to express our gratitude to all those who contributed their knowledge, perspectives and input throughout this important process. The valuable engagement significantly informed the review and the conditions placed on the project.” Ksi Lisims LNG is required to be net-zero ready by 2030. Once connected to BC Hydro's clean-electricity grid, Ksi Lisims will produce LNG with net-zero emissions, giving B.C. a competitive advantage over other jurisdictions by supplying reliable, lower-carbon energy to its customers. “In addition to being net-zero by 2030, the Ksi Lisims project is required to meet 23 legally binding provincial conditions to safeguard our environment,” said Tamara Davidson, Minister of Environment and Parks. “The people of British Columbia expect their government to thoroughly assess proposed developments to make sure projects are sustainable. That's how we create good jobs and drive needed economic growth, while protecting our environment and keeping communities healthy and safe.” The notice of approval from B.C.'s Environmental Assessment Office included further details of the certificate, including the full description of the 23 conditions placed on the project. The notice also includes the reasons for the ministers' decisions, as well as the documents used to make their decisions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

If you've been following the pod the last few weeks, you're familiar by now with the fact that all the Airbnbs that could be converted into long-term homes account for only 0.6 per cent of Canada's housing stock – and Canada can't solve a housing crisis with less than one per cent of a solution.But did you know that 47 per cent of Airbnb hosts in Canada report that income from hosting has helped them stay in their homes?Learn more about the critical role Airbnb plays in helping Canadians get by at Airbnb.ca/closerlook.First up: veteran pollster and friend of the show John Wright joins Matt to look at how Canadians are feeling three months into Prime Minister Mark Carney's post-election tenure. What do the numbers say? Why are some Canadians especially grumpy? And why haven't the Conservatives really found their footing yet? Wright and Gurney also talk about Pierre Poilievre's absence from the conversation, and why Ontario Premier Doug Ford seems happy to wait it all out — for now.This episode of On The Line is also brought to you by the Métis Nation of Ontario. It's Penetanguishene in the 1860s. For generations, Métis families fished these waters. Métis grandparents taught grandkids to cast nets. Fathers packed crates bound for the trading post. Mothers salted the morning's catch. And the smell of lake water and woodsmoke became deeply embedded in memories. Every summer, Métis boats carved routes through Georgian Bay with persistence. Their Métis traditions and trade became the commerce that built Canada. Today, while Canadian families head north to the cottage to play, remember those who paddled north to build, and know that Métis communities continue the traditions that built Canada.

In the dead of summer, a shift in tone appears to be taking hold between Canada's premiers and the prime minister.On this week's West of Centre, three Alberta-based journalists examine what may be driving Premier Danielle Smith's recent change in rhetoric. At the latest premiers' summit, Smith downplayed talk of a new oil pipeline and instead emphasized on shared priorities with B.C. Premier David Eby — including ammonia exports, LNG expansion and increasing Trans Mountain's capacity.Meghan Potkins of the Financial Post offers a reality check on the private sector's appetite for a new pipeline. Lisa Johnson of The Canadian Press and Alex Boyd of the Toronto Star explore whether more in-person engagement — and a new prime minister — may be shifting the dynamic among provincial leaders. And to what political end?The panel also unpacks renewed controversy over coal payouts. The Alberta government is now facing millions more in potential liabilities after reversing its policy on coal development in the Rockies — raising the prospect of further legal and political fallout.Attention then turns to the Battle River–Crowfoot byelection, where federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre faces a ballot featuring some 200 names. Is it a genuine complaint, or a pre-emptive explanation for what could be a lower vote share in one of the country's safest Conservative ridings?The episode ends on a sobering note. Globe and Mail reporter Carrie Tait was recently targeted with surveillance. The panel reflects on rising hostility toward journalists, and how it threatens not just the press, but the public's access to information.Host: Rob Brown | Producer & editor: Falice Chin | Guests: Meghan Potkins, Lisa Johnson, Alex Boyd

This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul review two BC Supreme Court cases that highlight the risks of representing yourself in traffic court. First, they unpack the failed appeal of a driver who claimed he was interacting with his truck's console—not a phone—when ticketed for distracted driving, and how a lack of courtroom experience undermined his defence. Then, they analyze a judicial review involving a rejected late dispute application—complete with a single stamped reason: “No arguable defence”—and why that was upheld despite arguments about inadequate reasoning. Later in the episode, Erik Magraken delivers a pointed Magraken Moment on the lack of accountability for ICBC and the BC government in the aftermath of the Lapu Lapu festival tragedy. He argues that victims are being denied justice under BC's no-fault system while Premier David Eby publicly vilifies the accused. Kyla and Paul break down the political and legal consequences, including how no-fault laws strip victims of their right to compensation and access to court.

Premier David Eby's partial retreat on the Economic Stabilization Tariff Response Act marks a significant moment in BC's response to US tariff threats. While the government has agreed to remove Part 4 of Bill 7—the section granting powers to amend legislation without parliamentary approval—legal expert Michael Mulligan reveals why serious concerns remain.The bill still contains provisions allowing the government to unilaterally cancel contracts, change procurement practices, and impose taxes without legislative debate. Particularly troubling is language that prevents affected parties from seeking judicial review of government actions—a fundamental protection in democratic systems. "Protection against legal proceedings" suggests the government wants to shield itself from court challenges, raising serious questions about accountability.Mulligan's analysis cuts to the heart of democratic governance: should we empower executives with unilateral authority, even during international disputes? He draws a striking parallel between the chaos of Trump's tariff decisions and the risks of BC's proposed response: "Left-wing populism is not a good response to right-wing populism." The comparison to Ontario Premier Doug Ford's hasty electricity tariff—quickly announced, then withdrawn—serves as a cautionary tale about reactive governance without deliberation.The remaining sections of Bill 7 grant more extensive powers than were used during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite facing only economic threats rather than a public health emergency. As Mulligan notes, "We are not at war with the United States." Want to understand the delicate balance between government authority and democratic safeguards? Listen to this essential breakdown of how emergency powers can fundamentally reshape governance when we're not looking closely enough.Follow this link for links to the legislation discussed.
