Norway collected £50bn from North Sea oil and gas last year. We collected £4.4bn, having taxed our own producers into closure in pursuit of a #netzero fantasy. I cannot think of a cleaner example of a government failing its people @Keir_Starmer and @Ed_Miliband conservativewoman.co.uk/the-suicidal-m…

We have been saying this for many years! Europe wants Canadian energy with European companies exploring potential long-term contracts with Canada’s proposed Ksi Lisims LNG export terminal on the Pacific Coast. The world needs more Canadian energy! reuters.com/business/energ…

The BC Environmental Assessment Office @BC_EAO updates its certificate for #WoodfibreLNG, to increase the condensate storage container volume. More info: ow.ly/MR0950YC4bt

Since April 2020, the United States has spent $1.5 trillion on wind and solar. All that money for just 17% of the nation's energy mix. For the same cost, America could have built around 40 nuclear power plants. They'd run for 80 years, not 15 or 20 like wind and solar, and would generate at least three times more power each year. That's the real cost of believing the climate fantasy - enormous waste, destabilized grids, and spiraling energy costs.

WATCH: Protecting the West Coast is central to Alberta's proposed oil export project.

Oil paper market trading volumes are increasing at an exponential rate, backed by algorithms that are very basic + simply follow each other. Expect more volatility, bigger daily moves, higher reaction to rumors, and short-term divergences to reality as this cycle continues. 🛢💰

Early Western Settlers in Canada were required build a home, and break at least 30 acres of land (create farmland) each year for 3 years, or they did not get ownership of the land No one was given the land for "free" they had to pay for it and contribute to retain ownership

GOLDSTEIN: Climate hysteria wasted our money, failed to reduce need for fossil fuels Canada is a case study in the failed and ruinously expensive global attempt to avoid what we’re inaccurately told is the 'existential' threat of climate change torontosun.com/opinion/column…

83% of Canadians support expanding oil and gas exports outside of the United States, and 68% back a new pipeline to the B.C. coast, according to a late-2025 Ipsos poll. thehub.ca/2026/04/13/can…

Canada needs to make $1.8 trillion in investments over the coming decade to boost six sectors: oil and gas, metals and minerals, electricity, agriculture, defence and space. rbc.com/en/thought-lea…

I do love when green campaigners produce a chart about coal demand trends with a tiny little footnote: (excludes China)

Let's just go there...the Strait "opens" today. What does it mean??? 🛢️global oil inventories will still go to record lows 🛢️we will still lose over 1BN barrels of production 🛢️refined product shortages/outages will persist for several quarters 🛢️SPR restocking will = ~0.3MM Bbl/d of new demand for the next 4 years (33% boost per year) Meanwhile, US shale will still be in its twilight, non-OPEC production will still be peaking, and OPEC spare capacity (adjusted) will still only be ~1.5MM Bbl/d, and whose value is less today than before given the potential for another disruption down the road. We are not going back to the old normal...expect a higher floor with an embedded political risk premium. The market may think the crisis is over...it's not.

Renewable electricity does not produce: petrol, diesel, bunker fuel, or jet fuel; it does not produce the feed stock for ammonia used to make fertilisers, or feedstocks for chemicals, pharmaceuticals or plastics; it does not produce bitumen, carbon fibres, armaments or ammunition; it does not produce the industrial heat needed to make cement, glass, aluminium, ceramics or steel. Claiming we shouldn't mine oil and gas in the UK because we won't be self sufficient is like suggesting we shouldn't produce any food because we won't be able to grow enough and would still need to import some. Caroline Lucas is NOT right.

Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Nova Scotia have abandoned plans to reduce the carbon footprint associated with loans to heavy emitters such as oil and gas producers bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

LNG spot prices in Asia hit US$19.35 per mmBTU on Tuesday, while Alberta benchmark natural gas prices closed at C$1.08 per mcf. "Canada should be a more material supplier of LNG to the world," says Cenovus CEO Jon McKenzie, chair of CAPP. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… #ableg #yyc #yeg

As long as the world needs more oil & gas, it should be Canadian.

Every month the Strait of Hormuz remains "closed" the world forfeits 360MM barrels of production. Put another way, each monthly loss of 12MM Bbl/d reduces supply by the equivalent of a 1MM Bbl/d ANNUAL loss. Very important to understand.

“European buyers, including Germany's Uniper, are exploring the possibility of purchasing liquefied natural gas from Canada's Pacific coast and shipping it through the Panama Canal as part of a long-term strategy to diversify supply, ‌an effort made more urgent in the wake of the Iran war…” reuters.com/business/energ…

Several European governments are now learning — the hard way — why letting most of their national oil refining capacity to close was, how to put it, a bit of a mistake. (Another example of why shapping demand first, rather than supply, is important for the energy transition)
