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

 Last week, crude oil started flowing through a newly expanded pipeline that stretches more than 600 miles from the tar sands of Canada’s Alberta province to an export terminal near Vancouver in British Columbia. The Canadian government spent $25 billion and more than four years to complete construction on the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion which will triple its capacity to ship nearly a million barrels of oil a day. But the project has also raised concerns about the threat of oil spills south of the border, and the harm to endangered marine mammals from increasing tanker activity moving through the Salish Sea to customers in Asia. Tom Banse, OPB’s former Olympia correspondent, joins us to share his recent reporting on this story.  

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.

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.

On today's show: why you shouldn't expect Ottawa to sell the Trans Mountain Pipeline right away; you can no longer be part of the energy because Calgary is now the Blue Sky City; and what happens when someone accidentally uncovers a cursed VHS tape? Well, chaos, of course.

The long-promised sale of the troubled TMX pipeline project could prove difficult for Ottawa. We get a report from CBC business reporter Kyle Bakx, and hear from our audience on the project and its $34 billion price tag.Then we hear about a new 3-year study looking at the impact of homelessness in Castlegar, Trail and Nelson from project manager and researcher Jayme Jones, Selkirk Innovates, Selkirk College.

On today's show: the Transmountain Pipeline is nearing completion. We hear what the project's CEO had to say at one of the world's biggest energy industry gatherings; we speak with the man who launched the "Recall Gondek" campaign and ask who else is involved given some new revelations this week; and hitchin' a rodent ride from the Kootenays to Alberta. The latest in Alberta's ongoing battle to remain rat free. 

We begin with our monthly conversation with Calgary Police Chief Mark Neufeld. This time out, we get the Chief's thoughts on last week's tragic stand-off in the community of Penbrooke and how it was handled by the men and women of the Calgary Police Service. ‌ Next, the long-awaited expansion to the Trans Mountain Pipeline is expected to be completed by the end of May according to the province. How big of an impact will the expansion have on Alberta's energy sector? We get the thoughts of Markham Hislop, Energy journalist and Publisher at Energi Media.   Finally, it seems like ‘winter' has decided to hang around a little bit longer, but warmer temperatures will arrive eventually. Is your home ready from spring? We get some tips for homeowners on how to get ahead of the Spring Maintenance required to keep your home in ‘tip-top' shape with Matthew Coad, Vice President of Strategy at Rümi.

We allow politicians to pass the buck at every opportunity. It has become the norm to set up ‘arms length' third party entities to ‘oversee' any government project. Do you think VIA Rail provides stellar service? How about the expensive and late Transmountain Pipeline? When politicians get questioned for the awful mismanagement of Government funds - they throw up their arms and blame 'arm's length' agencies. When will elected politicians be held to account?

Frank McKenna, a proud Canadian, shows his true passion for Canada in Episode 44 first defending Canada in its diplomatic dispute with India over the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian Member of the Sikh diaspora in Surrey, BC, then arguing against Alberta's potential separation from CPP and finally championing the partnership between The Federal Government and Indigenous communities for the soon to be finished Trans Mountain Pipeline.  Frank believes Canada's actions are enough following the unfortunate incident during Ukrainian President Zelensky's parliamentary visit in Ottawa that has now been politicized in both Canada and Russia and he touches on the impact of a US government shutdown.  The pod finishes up with Frank asking, perhaps rhetorically, for more cheerful topics next month – we make no promises. Unpacking Canada's Diplomatic Row with India – 4:15Canada's Embarrassment in Parliament – 20:25Alberta's Report on Separating from CPP - 23:51One Step Closer to Trans Mountain Pipeline Completion – 31:42The US Government Shutdown – 37:56 This podcast was recorded on September 27, 2023. For relevant disclosures, visit: tdsecurities.com/ca/en/tds-geopolitics-episode-44.

Éric Pineault, professor of ecological economics at the Institute of Environmental Sciences at the University of Quebec in Montreal, explains how the fires raging in Canada are a corollary of the paradigm termed Extreme Oil. He discusses various oil and gas projects across North America, as well as the Canadian government's support for the Trans Mountain Pipeline project, and how terms such as "net zero" and "carbon neutral" are misleading and conveniently serve Big Oil's aims.  His recent book A Social Ecology of Capital presents an empirical analysis of capitalist societies, which both builds on and enhances Marxist theories by accounting for the energy extraction and colonization of ecosystems, a characteristic of what he terms our "fossil-industrial" society. His conception of capitalist metabolism outlines extractivism, production, consumption, and waste dissipation, which leads to an absorption of surplus energy, capital accumulation, and profit maximization. Most importantly, how is this understanding of social ecology useful for furthering a project of emancipation?

More than one group of Indigenous investors want to buy the Trans Mountain pipeline. Others think that's a bad idea.

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.

In this episode, Dani tells us how we can and must change our (US) society.They recommend reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's books, "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" and "Not 'A Nation of Immigrants': Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion" for a comprehensive history of the united states and its founding rooted in the settler-colonialist mindset. They'd also recommend watching HBO's Exterminate all the Brutes for a similar history lesson that does not sugarcoat genocide and is very graphic (so sit this one out if you're not up for that).Dani also recommend checking out the Tiny House Warrior's new comic titled, "The Fight Against the Transmountain Pipeline" for some background and history of TMX, its Indigenous-led resistance, and the oppression the Warriors face every Day.

This week on Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan:Unlike criminal cases, where there is always a next appearance date scheduled in court until a case is completed, civil cases are generally moved along by the plaintiff. The case discussed on the show involved a civil claim resulting from an apparently defective drop-side crib. The issue was identified in 2009 and resulted in the crib manufacturer recalling the cribs. Several proposed class actions were also filed in different provinces.In BC, a proposed class action was filed one day after the recall of the cribs was announced. A couple of years after the BC case was commended, the plaintiff asked the court to be replaced as the proposed representative plaintiff because of family and work time commitments. The judge managing the case denied the application to change plaintiffs, in part because the original plaintiff still had the crib, which the defendants wanted to have examined by an engineer. Approximately 8 years then passed without any meaningful steps being taken by the plaintiff to move the case forward. The defendant crib manufacturer eventually applied to have the case dismissed for “want of prosecution”. The test when this kind of application is made involves consideration of the length of the delay, explanations for the delay, an assessment of whether the defendants suffered prejudice and finally the judge deciding if the balance of justice requires the action to be dismissed. The case discussed was dismissed both because of the amount of time that had passed and the fact that the crib in question had inexplicably been lost, before it was examined by the defendants. Also, on the show, the lawyer for an accused person in a criminal contempt prosecution relating to the alleged blocking of a driveway at a “tank farm” in Burnaby, contrary to an injunction prohibiting interference with the Trans Mountain Pipeline, asked the judge to take judicial notice that the activity occurred on “unceded indigenous territory” or “indigenous territory”. In criminal cases, ordinarily, evidence of an alleged fact needs to be called if a party wants a judge to take it into consideration.  Judges can, however, take judicial notice of facts that are clearly uncontroversial without requiring evidence.To take judicial notice of something a judge must be satisfied that a fact is either: 1) so notorious or generally accepted as not to be the subject of debate among reasonable persons or 2) capable of immediate and accurate demonstration by resort to readily accessible sources of indisputable accuracy. While the judge agreed that it's obvious that indigenous people occupied some parts of BC before Europeans arrived, the assertion that the driveway in question was either “unceded” or “indigenous territory” was not a notorious fact. The judge rejected the claim that the territorial acknowledgements often used by politicians could be the basis for taking judicial notice of the alleged fact: “In any event, I hardly think that statements by politicians, which may be made for any number of reasons and not for the purpose of court proceedings, can be taken as a readily accessible source of indisputable accuracy.”While it's unclear that the claim the driveway in question was unceded indigenous territory will have any relevance to the criminal contempt trial, if the defendant wishes to rely on this assertion, they will need to call evidence to establish it. Finally, on the show, courts in BC have announced that many of the COVID safety protocols that were put in place at courthouses will be removed as of April 11, 2022.

This week on Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan:Two men charged with criminal contempt for breaching an injunction prohibiting interference with the construction of the Trans Mountain Pipeline plead guilty and were sentenced. Neither man had a previous criminal record. The first man was a 69-yead old, retired university professor. He had climbed a tree and used a bicycle lock around his neck, and cables, to secure himself to the tree in order to slow construction of the pipeline. The police used a cherry picker to remote him. The second man was 21 yeas old. He provided no details of his personal circumstances. He attempted to use a “sleeping dragon” that was buried beside him to secure himself to the ground. He failed to properly secure himself within the device and so the RCMP were able to easily remove his hands and arrest him. Aggravating sentencing considerations included the fact that the injunction had been in place for some time, that the men had breached the injunction in a public way, including by the conduct of media interviews.  Mitigating factors included that they neither man had a previous record and both plead guilty. The judge pointed out that sentences for criminal contempt generally increase over time until compliance is achieved. The 69-year-old man was sentenced to 21 days in jail, while the 21-year-old received 14 days in jail. Distinguishing factors included the time and effort to remove them and the degree to which they had publicised their breached the court order.  Also on the show, the BC Court of Appeal overturned an award of punitive damages against an insurance company that denied a travel insurance claim and then managed to pay the hospital involved less than ordinarily billed by not telling them that that the claim had, eventually, been allowed. The incident involved a man who purchased travel insurance before a trip to Reno. He experienced a loss of consciousness (known as a “syncope”) while drinking at a bar and fell hitting his neck. He was hospitalized for 12 days and had a pacemaker installed. The hospital bill was $293,127.60. For two years, and with little investigation, the insurance company denied the claim alleging that it was caused by drinking alcohol, despite medical evidence to the contrary. Eventually the insurance company relented, once a court case had been commenced, and agreed to cover the claim. Without telling the hospital that they had agreed to cover the claim, the insurance company got the hospital to agree to apply an “uninsured discount” and settled with them for $47,000. This was upsetting to the man because of the excellent care he had received from the hospital. Insurance contracts require the insurance company, and the insured, to act in good faith. This means, amongst other things, that the insurance company must act fairly and reasonably. They must give as much consideration to the interests of the insured as their own interested. The trial judge concluded that the insurance company had not done this and awarded $100,000 in punitive damages against the insurance company.The BC Court of Appeal overturned this award on the basis that the insurance company eventually agreed to pay the claim and because the duty to act in good faith applies only to the insured person and not, for example, the hospital which may have been misled when it agreed to reduce its bill. Finally, on the show, the Crime Victim Assistance Act, and how it relates to civil claims for injuries caused by criminal activity, is also discussed.

In episode #443 of Talking Radical Radio, Scott Neigh interviews April Thomas. She is a land defender and member of the Secwépemc Nation, from the Canim Lake Band in the central interior of what is colonially known as British Columbia. She talks about the trajectory of her work defending the land, about grassroots opposition to the Trans Mountain tar sands pipeline expansion project, and about the ongoing court battle in the wake of the arrest of land defenders at the Secwépemc Unity Camp.

The ballooning cost of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion could fall on taxpayers, industry experts say, despite federal government assurances that no more public funds will be used to finance the project. A car transport ship carrying thousands of luxury cars is still stuck in the Atlantic Ocean after it caught fire last week, troubling an industry already grappling with pandemic-related supply chain issues.

On this edition of Free City Radio we continue forward with our interview series collaboration that is taking place with The Breach. On this edition we hear perspectives from Rebecca Sinclair, research and policy analyst at Indigenous Climate Action. In this interview Rebecca speaks about the ways that Indigenous voices have been pushing forward a critique of the Canadian state's colonial investment in oil and gas corporations that are building pipelines on Indigenous lands without the collective support of the communities impacted. As clearly witnessed today within the context of the Wet'suwet'en Nation which is facing the Coastal GasLink Pipeline and the Secwépemc Nation which is facing the Trans Mountain Pipeline, both projects are being supported politically by the Federal Liberal government in different ways, despite both oil and gas projects being a violation of Indigenous land rights and sovereignty.

In this Hotwire we bring you two interviews: one from an anarchist organizer involved in indigenous-led anti-pipeline struggles in Canada about the recent announcement that construction will be halted on the Trans Mountain Pipeline; and we speak with an anti-fascist who was on the streets of Chemnitz, Germany on Saturday when anti-fascists blocked the latest Nazi mobilization there. We also ruminate on common sense anti-racism, whether political campaigns figure into anarchist strategy, and an anarchist approach to school dress code policies. There are plenty of updates from the [#PrisonStrike](https://itsgoingdown.org/prisonstrike/) and LOTS of announcements for action in September, so listen until the end!
