NAFTA is a dirty word, especially around Sandy Cove on Digby Neck, Nova Scotia. Back in 2007, people in Sandy Cove won a years-long fight to stop a quarry from being built in their backyards.
It was a stunning public relations blunder by the NEB. On the very first day of the Energy... East review process, instead of welcoming and accepting comments and concerns from a 1000+ fishermen association in Nova Scotia, the three NEB Board members took only two (2) minutes before deciding to strike down their remarks from the hearing record.
Christy Clark’s fracking and liquified natural gas (LNG) dreams are being faced with a strong dose of reality. Michael Smyth recently published an insightful article on the government's new strategy for the up coming election.
The Department of National Defence has serious concerns about the Energy East pipeline according to an article by CBC/Radio-Canada.
It’s a beautiful day in the heavily-industrialized town of Saint John today, but I am stuck inside with the National Energy Board and TransCanada for day 1 of the Energy East intervener hearings.
Environment Minister Catherine McKenna is in Halifax today for a meeting with the region’s ministers of the environment, and her visit is steeped in fossil fuel and indigenous justice issues.
