In terms of growing the Canadian economy, this simple move would turn a triple into a homer. It’s been talked about for a while now and seemingly has progressed rather quickly.

My federal election 2025 was a marathon as I taped a special series of seven Power Struggle episodes with some bright minds from journalism, politics and public policy. Given the voting day outcome, all of these talks remain relevant. youtu.be/6Im4K_Ewf40?si…

An annual highlight: the Fort St John Chamber of Commerce Creating Energy conference on Tuesday. As head of Resource Works, it was a valuable chance to present my ideas as well as connect with numerous authentic sources of B.C.’s well-being. Thanks to hosts including (L to R)

Big step forward for BC this week with the first fuelling of a LNG-powered cruise ship in Canada, making use of a made-in-BC fuel and reducing fine particulates and other criteria pollutants. #BCPOLI

This wasn’t just disrespect. It’s part of a pattern. We urge PM @markjcarney: do not reappoint Jonathan Wilkinson to Cabinet. Indigenous rights and reconciliation deserve better. 🎥 Rez Dog Walkers #cdnpoli #IndigenousRights #BC #FOPO #POFO #HOC #LPC

“You can’t repeal a road.” Delta’s Dylan Kruger is proving that practical infrastructure, economic strategy & clean energy go hand in hand. Tilbury LNG is more than a project—it’s a test of Canada’s ambition. 🔗 hubs.ly/Q03m3KW60 #InfrastructureNow #EnergyOfTomorrow

Another year of dependence on the USA for electricity looms. BC Hydro has already imported 60% of the annual output of the almost-finished Site C dam in just the first 4 months of the year. #BCPoli

A timely corrective, and fresh reminder that M. Guilbeault is nothing if not consistent (just not in a way that is seemly for a minister of the Crown.)

“Without electricity imports from other provinces — mostly powered by natural gas — BC’s grid might’ve collapsed during the cold snap.” Greg Caldwell from ATCO Gas joins Power Struggle to unpack energy reality vs assumptions. 👇 #ClimatePolicy #EnergyCrisis #PowerStruggle

👀 First federal Indigenous loan guarantee is $400 million for 36 BC First Nations to purchase a 12.5% ownership interest in the Enbridge’s Westcoast natural gas pipeline system. Fantastic. boereport.com/2025/05/15/fed…

Leading indicator? “The CPPIB said its US returns delivered a net return of 9.6 per cent over the past five years, compared with 5.8 per cent for its Canadian holdings.” Financial Times

Looks good so far, at least on paper. Now let’s see if the deliverologists are ceding ground to the get-sh*t-done-ists. 1Establishing a new economic and security relationship with the United States and strengthening our collaboration with reliable trading partners and allies

An encouraging start. Those who were in the room will be watching carefully to see if it’s more than words.

That's a wrap for #Day1 of the #BCCCAGM2025! Grateful to have Mayor Leonard Krog & Minister Sheila Malcolmson share their welcoming remarks, & Stewart Muir, Elizabeth Aman-Hume, Tiffany Hetenyi & Alex Mitchell for kicking things off with our 1st session of the conference! #StrengthInUnity

Is the federal government prepared to throw its political capital behind getting access to tidewater for Canadian energy products? I spoke with CBC Radio On The Coast just now about that, plus national unity, and Bills 14 and 15. Catch the recording here. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…
