The past week saw a surge in energy-related political developments in Canada. Prime Minister Carney issued a unified Mandate Letter to his cabinet on May 21, 2025, emphasizing that Canada “must build an enormous amount of new infrastructure at speeds not seen in generations. This includes the infrastructure to diversify our trading relationships; to become an energy superpower in both clean and conventional energies.” The newly appointed Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, delivered a constructive message during his visit to Calgary, highlighting the importance of building energy infrastructure, including oil and gas. Meanwhile, the Premiers from Western Canada convened a meeting in Yellowknife. They released a joint statement agreeing to plan and develop an economic corridor for “transporting oil and gas, liquefied natural gas, uranium, electricity, and hydroelectricity to Canadian and world markets.” To discuss these developments, we are joined by our guest, The Honourable Gordon Campbell, President of Hawksmuir International Partners Limited. He is the former Premier of British Columbia (2001–2011), Canadian High Commissioner to the UK and Northern Ireland (2011–2016), and Mayor of Vancouver (1986–1993). Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter posed to The Honourable Gordon Campbell: Based on the Carney government's constructive comments on energy infrastructure and attracting private investment, including the Energy and Natural Resources Minister's trip to Calgary last week, would you anticipate a new approach from the Liberals compared to the previous decade? The Western Premiers issued a joint statement to develop economic corridors, including those for transporting electricity, natural gas, and oil. What types of projects do you expect David Eby's NDP government to support in British Columbia?  Would you expect the Federal government to revise or repeal energy policies, particularly those that might deter capital investment, such as the industrial carbon pricing policy set to increase to $170 per tonne by 2030 or the oil and gas emissions cap? 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

And opposition from First Nations and municipal leaders ramps up on Bill 15, making for a difficult path for the BC NDP government.

In the spring of 2011, the community of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, was shaken by the suspicious death of 16-year-old Cody Dempster. He was found unresponsive in a downtown alley and later pronounced dead—his passing eventually ruled a homicide. The RCMP initially had suspects, but despite early leads, the case went cold. For over a decade, Cody's family and friends remained silent. Now, for the first time, they're speaking out. In this episode, we revisit Cody's final moments, the early investigation, and the long fight for justice.--This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpodFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Since Elon's stunt (gaff? Excited moment? Full-on Nazi salute?) earlier this week, some Yellowknife residents have once again suggested that the City strongly consider re-naming the giant, officially-nameless-but-commonly-referred-to-as-Elon Muskox, decorative muskox mascot outside City Hall.

*Benie Sanders meme* We are one again asking for the City of Yellowknife to strongly consider renaming the stupid Muskox.

After years of research, journalist Kathleen Lippa has written about the shocking crimes of a trusted teacher who wrought lasting damage on Inuit communities: Arctic Predator: The Crimes of Edward Horne Against Children in Canada's North (Dundurn Press, February 2025). In the 1970s, a young schoolteacher from British Columbia was becoming the darling of the Northwest Territories education department with his dynamic teaching style. He was learning to speak the local language, Inuktitut, something few outsiders did. He also claimed to be Indigenous — a claim that would later prove to be false. In truth, Edward Horne was a pedophile who sexually abused his male students. From 1971 to 1985 his predations on Inuit boys would disrupt life in the communities where he worked — towns of close-knit families that would suffer the intergenerational trauma created by his abuse. In this book, Kathleen examines the devastating impact the crimes had on individuals, families, and entire communities. Her compelling work lifts the veil of silence surrounding the Horne story once and for all. More about Kathleen Lippa: Kathleen Lippa is a Canadian journalist, born in Toronto and raised in St. John's, Newfoundland. Kathleen trained as a professional dancer at The Quinte Ballet School and The School of the Toronto Dance Theatre before embarking on a journalism career.

There is an ongoing, extensive list of restaurants and businesses coming to Yellowknife. Some have been on the list for years. But one of the more recent additions just got checked off!

On a nice, chill, ho-hum -30 day in Yellowknife, the Ecole Allain St-Cyr school choir decided to hit the streets and spread some adorable Christmas cheer and create some holiday magic in Studio 1.

Yellowknife is an 'extraordinary' city by any measure. Just ask them. And while you're there, ya want a job?

Interview with Gerald Panneton, Executive Chairman of Gold Terra Resource Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gold-terra-resource-tsxvygt-2moz-gold-target-revitalizing-canadas-yellowknife-gold-belt-5974Recording date: 28th November 2024Gold Terra Resource Corp (TSXV:YGT) is a junior gold exploration company focused on advancing its Yellowknife City Gold Project (YP) in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The project is located in the historic Yellowknife gold district, which has produced over 14 million ounces of gold historically.In a recent interview, Gold Terra CEO Gerard Panneton provided insights into the company's strategy and the investment opportunity it presents. Panneton emphasized the importance of high-grade ounces in generating robust margins and returns for investors. Gold Terra's Yellowknife Project fits this bill, with the potential for a sizeable high-grade gold resource.A key competitive advantage for Gold Terra is the project's location and infrastructure. Situated near the city of Yellowknife, the project benefits from extensive existing infrastructure, including roads, power, and a skilled local workforce. This translates into lower exploration and development costs. As Panneton noted, "The cost of drilling is $200 per meter all-in. Our geologists, our technicians live in Yellowknife, we don't have to bring them, we don't use helicopters for our drill program."The 2021 acquisition of the past-producing Con Mine from Newmont Mining was a game-changer for Gold Terra. The company secured 100% ownership of the Con Mine for C$8 million, which came with substantial infrastructure, including underground development. Panneton estimates this infrastructure would cost over $150 million to build today, representing significant savings and value for Gold Terra shareholders.Gold Terra's exploration strategy is focused on delineating a gold resource of 1.5 to 2.0 million ounces at YP, which Panneton believes would justify mine development. While the company had hoped to hit this target through deep drilling, current market conditions have necessitated a refinement in strategy. Gold Terra will now focus on cheaper, near-surface drilling to generate value and news flow for investors while still methodically advancing the project.The investment thesis for Gold Terra is straightforward:High-grade gold potential in a tier-one jurisdictionSignificant existing infrastructure from past-producing Con MineExperienced management team with a track record of creating valueDisciplined exploration strategy to deliver results in current market conditionsPanneton summed it up well, saying, "I know that when somebody invests in a junior that is well run, with a good project, you're paying maybe $10 an ounce. However, your reward could be 10 times, 15, 20 times, if you're with the right project and the right team."With a market capitalization of around C$40 million, Gold Terra appears to offer a compelling risk-reward proposition for investors. While not without risks, the company's high-grade gold potential, existing infrastructure, and strong management team make it a junior gold explorer to watch. In a rising gold price environment, positive exploration results from Gold Terra could quickly translate into share price appreciation, making it a timely opportunity for investors comfortable with the junior resource sector.View Gold Terra Resource's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gold-terra-resource-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I talk with two of our full-time friends, Jennie and Eric Hultquist. We originally met Jennie and Eric on a volunteer project through A Year to Volunteer back in February of 2022 at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  Who would have guessed when we met them, that we'd be traveling with them throughout Canada and Alaska a few years later?  But low and behold, Jennie and Eric were the fearless leaders of our Alaskan Gang this summer.  We traveled over 7,000 miles with them from the end of May through the beginning of August and had a fantastic time.  It was the trip of a lifetime, even though we hope to return to America's Last Frontier at some point in the future, this trip has given all of us memories that will last a lifetime. The trip was the culmination of almost two years of planning by Jennie and Eric.  They took us to places that we never knew existed, like Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.  As the trip came together, each of us had input on places to stay and things to do, so it truly did turn into a team effort once we hit the road. We had a marvelous time and can't thank Jennie and Eric enough for the work that they put into planning this trip for the group.

In this bonus episode, Dr. Mike Brasher is joined by Dr. Scott Stephens, Josh Dooley (USFWS), and Frank Baldwin (CWS) for an impromptu update on the status of waterfowl migration and wetland conditions from Yellowknife to South Dakota. Cold weather in the far north is ushering birds south, while continued warmth in the prairies has blue-wings holding strong. Wetland conditions in the Canadian prairies are some of the driest ever seen by Dr. Stephens, yet Frank reports good success on bigger waters. With cooler weather on the horizon, many are hoping for a new push of birds as the season gets into full swing.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
