“If” became “when” after @ABDanielleSmith met with @MarkJCarney last week. Alberta has clarity. It has a premier negotiating pipelines, a $900M royalty-in-kind program securing barrels, and now an MOU with Ottawa moving toward finalization. BC has the coast, the deepest natural harbour in North America, and a decision to make. North or South? @sjmuir on what it all means for BC’s resource economy: resourceworks.com/alberta-is-bui… #BCPoli #CdnPoli #ABPoli #NaturalResources #Pipelines

In May, Ottawa left BC's forestry industry off the federal tariff relief list. Cabinet ministers had a simple answer: softwood lumber tariffs are different. Today, Ottawa is preparing to ban ocean-based salmon farming by 2029. The alternatives it's promoting have never proven economic or scalable. For British Columbians who've watched Ottawa overlook their industries for decades, this isn't a new experience. @JamesRRushton1 on why the province must forge its own path: resourceworks.com/hard-for-bc-to… #BCPoli #CdnPoli #Forestry #SalmonFarming #NaturalResources

"If we can get over ourselves, stop tripping over ourselves and talking about terms and instead look back to what's been working, then we can bring those two world views closer together." @a_warbus, MLA for Chilliwack-Cultus Lake, reflects on partnerships, permitting and a path beyond polarization: resourceworks.com/listening-for-… #BCPoli #Reconciliation #NaturalResources

UNDRIP is proving to be a constitutional Trojan horse and what's happening in B.C. right now is a warning Ottawa needs to heed before it spreads. @nbennett_ca reports: resourceworks.com/dont-open-that… #BCPoli #CdnPoli #DRIPA #Reconciliation

Are you joining us, and @ESF_Canada, in Edmonton for the Municipal Energy Dialogue? We're bringing together municipal leaders from across Canada to talk about what actually matters at the local level—energy affordability, reliability, trade diversification and the infrastructure decisions that shape community quality of life. Be a part of the conversation! Register today: na.eventscloud.com/ereg/index.php…

Jerome Gessaroli argues that to justify its own provincial zero-emission vehicles mandate, the B.C. govt must prove it delivers emissions reductions beyond what the federal framework would achieve: macdonaldlaurier.ca/b-c-ev-sales-m…

Europe is signing long-term LNG deals for reliable supply. Ottawa must build now to unlock tens of billions in exports, writes Bryan Brulotte nationalpost.com/opinion/bryan-…

Canada is sitting on one of the most valuable mining pipelines in the world. A new @MA_BC economic impact study puts hard numbers on what it's worth, and what the country loses for every year it sits in permitting limbo. resourceworks.com/27-proposed-mi… #BCPoli #CdnPoli #CriticalMinerals #MiningMonth

Saturday's @Conservative_BC leadership debate on @globalnews BC produced something rare: near-unanimous consensus on resource development. Whatever happens in this race, the message on natural resources was clear. Watch: youtube.com/live/jEbKOhHEC… #BCPoli #NaturalResources

At @Resource_Works we said: How about a B.C. Conservative debate on things we care about (the economy and natural resources)? @GlobalBC said: Let’s do it. I’m proud to say we’re sponsoring the result, available everywhere from 4:30 pm Pacific today. msn.com/en-ca/news/can…

As @fbirol reverses a decade of @IEA orthodoxy, @cenovus' Jon McKenzie delivers the sharpest CEO rebuke of Canadian energy policy in years. Two developments this week that amount to the most significant signal Canada’s oil and gas sector has received in years. They point in the same direction. Together, they constitute an indictment. @sjmuir resourceworks.com/the-iea-told-c… #Cdnpoli #OOTT

"We are considered by many to be the bread basket of British Columbia." @LarryNeufeldCon, Shadow Minister for Oil, Gas & LNG and MLA for Peace River South, on one of BC's most resource-rich regions. #TheWorkWeDo #NorthernBC #NaturalResources #BritishColumbia

“Without forestry, we'd be in a really dire place as a province.” Maria McFaddin shares why forestry is part of the solution for BC, supporting wildfire mitigation, housing, jobs, and communities. Learn more and sign the petition at forestryisasolution.com #BCForestry #BCpoli

Did you know May is Mining Month? Canada has identified 35 critical minerals essential to clean energy, defence and advanced manufacturing. Many of them are right here in BC. canada.ca/en/campaign/cr… #MiningMonth #CriticalMinerals #Mining #Canada

"The public need to back the government up." @JamesRRushton1 mined, logged and fished BC's coast for decades. Now he's writing about the policies that shape the lives of the people who do the same. His message to British Columbians: Vital resource projects need more than government support—they need yours. resourceworks.com/from-the-fishi… #BCPoli #NaturalResources #CdnPoli

The @Conservative_BC leadership race is coming down to the wire. Tune in on May 9 on @globalnews to watch a defining debate in Burnaby: ✅ 5 candidates side by side. ✅ Testing economic and energy policies. ✅ A final proving ground before the May 30 vote. Here's what to expect: resourceworks.com/debate-shapes-… #BCPoli #BCConservatives

“The best people to innovate and create the sustainable long-term solutions for energy are the ones who are working in that industry.” Shannon Stange of the Northern Innovation Network on how Forefront Energy developed a zero-emission way to generate electricity using the pressure differential of a wellhead. #TheWorkWeDo #NorthernBC #CleanEnergy #Innovation

The Strait of Hormuz crisis has turned tanker-tracking into a global obsession. Although @StephenAtHome just discovered @MarineTraffic, @sjmuir has been obsessed with it since 2017. It started at twenty bucks a month. It ended at three hundred, plus a Senate committee appearance and a wall of debunked tanker myths.

LNG-capable ships are up 330% in five years. Another 600 are on order. But in a global fleet of 109,000 ships, LNG alone won't get commercial shipping to its decarbonization targets. @timothyrenshaw on why biomethane and e-methane are needed to widen the bridge: resourceworks.com/lng-needs-help… #LNG #Shipping #Decarbonization #CdnPoli #OOTT
