Attending today's session are Jeff Rutledge, Vice President, McMillian Vantage, and Kathleen Wynne, Former Premier of Ontario and Ontario Liberal leader from 2013-18. Ontario's budget deficit balloons to tackle tariffs while the federal government is tabling a fall economic statement instead: does anyone care about budgets and deficits anymore? What changed? What do we make of the new cabinet picks? Changes were not as bold as some people expected and it was a messy transition with comments from Guilbeault, Robertson, and others coming under fire, while others like Hodgson had better starts. Elections Canada and Terrebonne: Why not just count the ballots or do a recount? Is it a bad look on Elections Canada to the general public to not just roll with it? What do you want to see from The Hudson’s Bay IP now that Canadian Tire has it? If stores aren’t coming back, what would draw your attention? What are your favourite May long weekend / road trip songs and traditions?
This week on the podcast, we discuss Peter's recent articles in The Hub: “There's a fortune to be made in Canada - if only we'd seize the opportunity,” and “It's going to take more than diplomacy and defense spending to secure Canada's sovereignty.” The podcast begins with a bit of history, looking back at a 1950s article on the potential to make a fortune in Canada. While the country is still endowed with vast natural resources, investing in Canadian resources has become more complex over the past few decades. The challenge is evidenced by an estimated $150+ billion in projects canceled, withdrawn, or denied and the $50 billion in foreign exits from the Canadian oil and gas industry over the past decade. Another example is the surge of LNG export capacity growth in the US, while in comparison Canada has had tepid investment.Peter and Jackie then discuss some ideas for attracting investors based on conversations over the past month, sparked by President Trump's threat of tariffs and annexation. These include ideas for fast-tracking Canadian trade-enabling infrastructure, including expediting projects that project proponents are already advancing.Content referenced in this podcast:IPSOS poll showing Liberals have a lead (Feb 25, 2025)Politico article, the viciousness of Trump's climate attacks stuns even his critics (Feb 22, 2025)S&P study on the economic impact of US LNGMacdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) article on Germany's LNG acceleration law by Heather Exner-Pirot (January 15, 2024)Financial Post article Northern Leg to Trans Mountain pipeline attracts interest amid brewing trade war (Feb 21, 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

The federal government—as well as the government-owned crown corporation Trans Mountain—has paid tens of millions of dollars in two separate contracts to McKinsey and Company, one of the world's premier consulting firms. One of the contracts was given to offer advice on clean technology, despite McKinsey also working with some of the world's largest fossil fuel companies.The other, worth far more, was to find efficiencies in the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project—a project already billions of dollars over budget and well behind schedule. What did the government get for its money? Did it know about the conflicts of interest before signing the deal? Why throw millions at a project already well behind? Just how much do we know about how the government spends money on these contracts, anyway?GUEST: Mike De Souza, Director of Enterprise and Investigations, The Narwhal We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

This week, our guest is the Honourable Christy Clark, the 35th Premier of British Columbia and Canada's longest-serving female Premier. Christy Clark is currently a Senior Advisor for Bennett Jones LLP.Politics is top of mind for energy decision-makers with the upcoming US election, Canadian federal by-elections, the possibility of an early federal election in Canada, and a provincial election next month in Christy Clark's home province of British Columbia.Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked Christy Clark:Are you surprised that the NDP has been slipping in the polls in BC? Explain the BC United Party (former BC Liberal Party) recently folding into the Conservative Party of BC. Is there potential for the provincial Conservative Party to win in BC next month? Is climate change still an important issue for BC voters? You worked to get BC's LNG industry started, with over 15 potential projects expected at one point; what is your view on the industry now? Is more electrical generation capacity needed to meet future demand, besides the Site C hydro dam? Now that it has started, how do people feel about the Trans Mountain expansion oil pipeline? With the federal NDP ripping up their agreement to cooperate with the Liberals, do you expect the federal election will occur sooner than October 2025? What are the chances that Justin Trudeau will withdraw from the federal Liberal leadership before the election? Do you have any federal political aspirations?Content referenced in this podcast:Current polling of BC provincial election at 388canada.com 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, our guest is Dawn Farrell, President and CEO of Trans Mountain Corporation. On May 1, 2024, the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMEP) started commercial operations. Over a decade in the making, this milestone is a huge accomplishment. Originally built in 1953, the expansion project triples the pipeline's capacity from 300,000 to 890,000 B/d. This significant expansion of Canada's only oil pipeline to the West Coast comes at an important time since Canadian production was expected to hit the limits of the existing pipeline system later this year. The expansion will allow Canadian crude oil to access new markets in California and Asia, and it is expected to lift oil prices by increasing the number of buyers for Canadian oil. The TMEP is not without controversy, given its high cost (currently estimated at $C 34 billion compared with $C 7.4 billion in 2017), opposition to the pipeline in some areas of British Columbia, and the Federal government's purchase of the project in 2018.Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie ask Dawn: Tell us about the pipeline operations currently, has Alberta crude oil reached the dock in Burnaby, British Columbia? What are the logistics, operations, and safety precautions for moving the Aframax tankers from the Burnaby Terminal to the open ocean? What is the importance of this pipeline to Canada? What are some of the factors that contributed to the high costs? What is the process and timing for the current regulatory hearing that could change the tolls?

After more than a decade, the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project (TMX) has finally been completed. One of the country's biggest infrastructure projects is seen as a major win for Albertan oil producers, with nearly 600,000 extra barrels shipped daily, ready for international buyers.But the future ownership of the pipeline remains up in the air. Many of the issues and questions that delayed the project – concerns over its safety and the environment, fights over Indigenous land rights, long-term economic risks – remain.Jeffrey Jones, The Globe's sustainable finance reporter, explains the ballooning costs of the TMX and why one of Canada's top exports is creating tension with its future climate targets.Questions?

The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is finally up and running. Matt Galloway talks to Trans Mountain Corp. CEO Dawn Farrell about the $34 billion price tag, how environmental concerns should be addressed, and who might take it off the federal government's hands.
The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, a major Canadian infrastructure project, cleared a significant hurdle despite numerous delays and legal challenges. Now federally owned, the project aims to transport bitumen from Alberta to the west coast. Calgary Herald columnist Chris Varcoe discusses with Dave Breakenridge the economic implications for Canada and Alberta, the project's troubled progress, and its impact on future infrastructure projects.

The Trans Mountain pipeline is expected to begin expanded operations this week, after years of tension between environmentalists and the oil and gas sector — a conflict that played out in communities along the pipeline's route. The CBC's Erin Collins travelled along TMX to find out how people living there feel about it now.
On May 1st the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion will begin commercial operations. It marks the end of a 12 year saga that included protests, legal challenges and the purchase of the pipeline itself by the federal government. When Ottawa stepped in to buy TMX six years ago, it had an estimated price tag of $7.4 billion dollars. Today the cost has grown to $34 billion dollars. As the polarizing project nears the finish line, CBC producer Allison Dempster visits communities along the pipeline route, from Edson, Alberta to Burnaby, B.C. She meets people who worked on the project, people who campaigned against it and Indigenous leaders who one day hope to own it. In the second half of the show, we join Anna Maria Tremonti on a road trip she took along the route back in 2019. She hears from Western Canadians deeply divided on the pipeline project. As you'll hear, the expansion is almost complete, but the debate over its legacy is far from over.Reported by Allison Dempster.

It may sound boring, it might be confusing, but the federal government's new capital gains tax change could just become a major political sticking point. The House hears from tax experts and others about what the change could accomplish and whether everyday Canadians might be affected. Then, the federal budget unveiled this week failed to meet the moment when it comes to a new disability benefit, an advocate tells The House. A Liberal official also joins the program to respond.Plus — six years and tens of billions of dollars later, the Trans Mountain expansion is about to begin operation. In a special report, The House investigates how communities along the mega-project's route feel now that oil is finally set to flow.Finally: The lifetime ban handed out to Raptors player Jontay Porter is raising questions about legal gambling's influence on the integrity of sport.

Latin American crude production is on the rise, with countries like Brazil, Guyana and Argentina leading the way. However, Latin American heavy sour crude output is expected to decline, and flows will be reshuffled as Canada's Trans Mountain crude pipeline expansion starts up and as operations begin at Pemex's Olmeca refinery. Why is heavy sour crude output declining, and what does the output decline and reshuffling of barrels mean for crude prices? SPGCI's Americas oil news director Jeff Mower discusses these questions and more with oil research analysts Stephanie Rivera and Nick Blanco and crude pricing director Beth Brown.

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast™, digital media editor Warren Frey looks back at 2023 and forward to 2024 through an economic lens with ConstructConnect chief economist Alex Carrick and senior economist Michael Guckes. Chief amongst the big construction stories of 2023, Carrick said, is the increased number of megaprojects underway in both the United States and Canada, as well as an intense push to electrification of infrastructure on both sides of the border. However he cautioned that in order for this change to happen, the number of electric vehicles has to increase. There will be bumps along the way, Carrick said, but eventually this transition will occur. Guckes pointed to a weakening commercial and residential market in 2023, but said the movement of manufacturing back to the United States along with new construction opportunities including increased military spending as geopolitics around the world continues to fluctuate. Carrick said the biggest economic story in 2024 will be a decline in interest rates, resulting in more people looking to buy property and invest in businesses, and pointed to Canadian population growth as also impactful to the economy. He also said several new megaprojects such as the LNG facility in Kitimat and the completion of the Trans Mountain project will positively impact Canada's GDP. Guckes echoed that Canada, once these new projects are online, will be a viable alternative to Russian gas and other energy providers, and said in the United States water and sewage project while not glamourous have big implications for the construction industry. Both economists also agreed that an increasing use of data centers will mean further construction projects.

In February this year, the estimated cost of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project jumped by more than 70%. When the Trans Mountain Corporation announced the increase back in February, we were told that the government would spend no additional public money on the project. A new report by independent economist Robyn Allan says this is not the case, and that the federal government is hiding the real situation from Canadians. We spoke with Eugene Kung, staff lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law who commissioned the report.
On this episode of the Energy Security Cubed Podcast, Kelly Ogle and Joe Calnan begin with a discussion on major issues in global energy security, including an update on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, a discussion of global oil demand forecasts, and some considerations surrounding methanol-fueled ships.

Ep 433 - Unlocking the Magic of Probiotics Guest - Dr. Gregor Reid In 1983, Dr. Gregor Reid had a wild and crazy idea. He pondered, “Is lactobacilli bacteria good for your health?” It was an idea that was years ahead of its time. Back then, probiotics didn't exist. No one thought of or considered the microbiome – in fact, the term microbiome didn't exist. Dr. Reid faced ridicule: “Oh, I was called a whole host of names.” Dr. Reid looked over the horizon and around the corner of history, and foresaw the use of beneficial microbes to treat and prevent disease. He has been proven to be right and, in doing so, provided a strong vision for the evolution of the field. From what was an idea, a worldwide industry has evolved. As of 2021, the probiotics field is estimated to generate more than $60 billion annually and it has spanned the development of multiple products that are available and in use around the world. We invited Dr. Gregor Reid, the 2021 Dr. Rogers Prize co-winner, to join us for a Conversation That Matters about where the future of probiotics will take us.

Ep 434 - The State of Salmon in British Columbia Guest: Jason Hwang Salmon are one of the most magnificent species that you rarely get to see, especially when they go to sea. The migratory route from freshwater to the open expanse of the Gulf of Alaska and then back again is unparalleled. No other species travels these great distances without an overhead view – salmon travel to and from their spawning grounds, guided by some internal sonar that is remarkably precise. Jason Hwang says, “They swim thousands of kilometres and return to the exact same spot. We still don't fully understand how they do it. It is truly remarkable.” Over the past 100 years, their numbers have crashed. We know many of the reasons why – spawning ground disruption or destruction, coastal eel grass depletion, predators, and the science also points to impacts from open-pen fish farms. Then there is the mystery of what happens when they head out to the open ocean. Add in a changing climate and the impact is devastating on British Columbia's salmon populations. Despite the bad news, some salmon populations are showing signs of resilience. Hwang says, “It's impressive how salmon are able to adapt.” He goes on to say, “It's important to note they need us to make responsible choices about salmon habitat.” We invited Jason Hwang, the Vice President of Salmon at the Pacific Salmon Foundation, to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the state of salmon in BC.

Dec 30, 2022 Ep 432 - A Wicked Problem Guest: Douglas Todd In his book, “White Angel,” John MacLachlan Gray describes the Vancouver of the 1920s as “a dirty, smelly, corrupt hellhole.” Anyone who passes through the Downtown Eastside of the city today might wonder if he was referring to 2020 – an unfortunate consideration because, in 2008, then-mayor Gregor Roberstson promised to end homelessness. When Robertson left office, the Vancouver Sun reported that “tent-city organizers said that they ‘savour Gregor's resignation and the humiliating end of Vision Vancouver.” When he left office, there were 2,181 homeless people in Vancouver. Today, it is difficult to know the exact number because for the second year in a row, the City of Vancouver cancelled its homeless count. No matter the number, the situation is worse. As Douglas Todd, a senior Vancouver Sun journalist, wrote in a recent opinion piece, “It's impossible to find someone who doesn't feel compassion for the residents of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.” With that said, the situation gets worse year over year. Todd asks, “Why has so much philanthropy and community activism – and arguably billions of dollars of government and charitable money – had such minimal effect? Why does compassion appear to be failing?” We invited Douglas Todd to join us for a Conversation That Matters about how we got to now in the Downtown Eastside and how to figure out where to go.

A field report from coast Salish territory on the irreconcilable conflict between the Tsleil-Waututh Nation and the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project. There are 73 remaining Southern Resident Killer Whales in existence. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation consider the survival of these orcas and the survival of their people to be the same thing. The government insists a compromise can be met. The Tsleil-Waututh reject this notion, and many are prepared to die in defense of their "wolves of the sea". Brandi Morin reports.
