A recent @icbabc report delivered a shocking assessment, based on the B.C. government’s own analysis: CleanBC will strip away $109.7 billion in economic activity from its economy by 2029 — more than 2.5 times the damage that U.S. Pres Trump’s tariff war calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
Politicians from different parties toured @Seaspan in North Van recently, emerging with differing opinions about BC Ferries’ decision to build new ships in China and next steps to grow local shipbuilding. My latest in @TheOrcaBC: theorca.ca/commentary/rob…
For mineral explorers active in Northwest BC: There are 4 land use planning processes underway in the region. Anyone with mineral claims in the planning areas should have heard from the Province of British Columbia. To ensure AME's direction is driven by mineral explorers' work…
Cenovus “cautiously optimistic” but “unless existing regulations are changed, we cannot, with any speed, see a pipeline to the coast. We want regulatory certainty, and the current framework does not provide that.” ft.com/content/2e1823…
NEW - @Josie_Osborne again refuses to restore medication to 10-yr-old Charleigh Pollock, in a statement saying that the new evidence her family/experts brought forward had been considered by the Canada Drug Agency and doesn't change their recommendations.
Thanks to Nelson Bennett for explaining why B.C.’s green #hydrogen bubble popped. A lesson for #policymakers: don’t build strategy on hype. Do the homework first. Is it viable, supported, and scalable? resourceworks.com/b-c-green-hydr…
If implemented, the public backlash of this tax would be untenable for Carney

Honoured to be with @stephenharper on his first tour of the Port of Iqaluit while we were at the Arctic Sovereignty and Security Summit. “You cant realize peoples potential unless you have infrastructure.” Conservatives get building Canadian Arctic infrastructure is key to…

👀Alberta and Ontario co-sign letter calling on feds to repeal IAA (c-69), GGPPA (carbon tax), emissions cap, clean electricity regulations, and parts of the species at risk act.
In any society — or business — you must set a timeline, gather data, and make a decision. Endless reviews and political indecision only delay progress and hurt our communities. BC’s stalled supportive housing safety measures are just the latest example. #bcpoli #leadership
The reviews, task forces, working groups, advisory panels and other clever ways to study issues without actually acting, are starting to add up for the BC government. My latest in @TheOrcaBC: theorca.ca/commentary/rob…
Another day, another example of why Canada should be supplying Japan and India with more of our #oil and #gas theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Canada's Research & Development spending (as a % of GDP) has fallen to a 25-year low! This is a scathing indictment of the policy priorities of our leadership. R&D is critical for improvements in productivity growth, and only productivity can emancipate the working class.
It’s official: Canada is now an LNG-exporting nation. The Gaslog Glasgow just sailed out of Kitimat, marking the first shipment to market. A historic day for energy, trade and the communities that got us here. 🇨🇦
A huge day for #Canada. May this be the first of many LNG facilities built on the westcoast of #BC!
Today, LNG Canada successfully loaded a first cargo of liquefied natural gas that is now destined for global markets, marking the start of operations at Canada’s first large-scale LNG export facility. lngcanada.ca/news/first-car…
BC Ferries is now prohibiting many electric vehicles from sailing onboard its vessels due to a Transport Canada regulation preventing damaged vehicles from being transported. cheknews.ca/transport-cana…
David Eby has replaced Steven Guilbeault as the biggest antagonist to Canada becoming an energy superpower.
Oh boy. So the Crown financing agency that @cafreeland demanded @BCFerries ensure it's not using to finance the China deal, is in fact loaning $1b in federal funding for the ships. Now what? theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…
