Alberta

Terry Glavin: The PM had a five-star ecological plan to satisfy Alberta, environmentalists and, maybe most importantly, China. Then it all fell apart.

Opinion: The B.C. government had hoped to kill Trans Mountain by waiting Kinder Morgan out. That plan backfired. Still, there are X-factors that could help John Horgan

Opinion: The federal government says delays to the Trans Mountain pipeline were costing Canada $15 billion a year. But that may not be quite right.

In a province consumed by the fate of one oil pipeline, it isn’t easy being green

The NDP government no longer talks about diversifying the economy. Nowadays, the future of everything is tied Kinder Morgan’s oil shipment project.

Lindsay Tedds: As the province debates the merits of a less progressive tax system, voters will have to make tradeoffs that help and punish different income earners

Stephen Maher: Indignation over pipelines is over the top—B.C.’s concerns are valid and Ottawa has far from failed to back the oil sands.

Opinion: Despite politicians musing about ’de-risking’ Trans Mountain’s pipeline, there are a slew of reasons why government shouldn’t get involved

Stephen Maher: Putting up the money for Kinder Morgan would help Rachel Notley, reassure investors and give B.C.’s John Horgan an out

Opinion: The Kinder Morgan pipeline battle doesn’t represent a failure of democracy, federalism, or the rule of law—it’s the system doing what it’s meant to do
