It was not a call he wanted to make. In October 2017, Kevin O’Donnell, then chief financial officer of Nisku, Alta.-based Banister Pipelines, got final word that the $16-billion Energy East pipeline was cancelled.

‘Big vulnerability’: How Ontario and Quebec became reliant on U.S. oil and gas

2 months ago | canadianenergycentre.ca | Deborah Jaremko

Despite Canada’s status as one of the world’s largest oil and gas producers, more than half of the country’s own population does not have true energy security – uninterrupted, reliable access to the energy they need at an affordable price. Even though Western Canada produces much of the oil consumed in Ontario and Quebec, in order to get there, it moves on pipelines that run through the United States.
Explainer: Why Canadian oil is so important to the United States

Jan 30, 2025 | canadianenergycentre.ca | Deborah Jaremko

The United States is now the world’s largest oil producer, but its reliance on oil imports from Canada has never been higher. Through a vast handshake of pipelines and refineries, Canadian oil and U.S. oil complement each other, strengthening North American energy security. Here’s why. Decades in the makingTwenty years ago, the North American energy market looked a lot different than it does today. In the early 2000s, U.S. oil production had been declining for more than 20 years.

Jan 21, 2025 | canadianenergycentre.ca | Deborah Jaremko

The journey from Fort McMurray in northern Alberta to Rideau Hall in Ottawa covers nearly 4,000 kilometres through boreal forest, rocky Canadian Shield, expansive Prairie and northern Ontario’s muskeg. That trip for Nicole Bourque-Bouchier was realized on December 18, when Governor General Mary Simon appointed the Fort McMurray resident as a Member of the Order of Canada for advancing the role of women in business and being at the forefront of Indigenous economic development in Alberta.
Why U.S. tariffs on Canadian energy would cause damage on both sides of the border

Jan 14, 2025 | canadianenergycentre.ca | Deborah Jaremko

As U.S. imports of Canadian oil barrel through another new all-time high, leaders on both sides of the border are warning of the threat to energy security should the incoming Trump administration apply tariffs on Canadian oil and gas. “We would hope any future tariffs would exclude these critical feedstocks and refined products,” Chet Thompson, CEO of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), told Politico’s E&E News.
Undermining investment in emissions reduction, ignoring the global big picture and making Canadians poorer: What energy and economic leaders are saying about Ottawa’s oil and gas emissions cap

Nov 12, 2024 | canadianenergycentre.ca | Deborah Jaremko

The federal government’s draft rules to cap emissions – and by credible analysis, production – from Canada’s oil and gas sector will make Canadians poorer, won’t reduce world emissions, and are a “slap in the face” to Indigenous communities. That’s the view of several leaders in energy and the economy calling out the negative consequences of Ottawa’s new regulations, which were announced on November 4. Here’s a selection of what they have to say.
How the Haisla Nation’s Cedar LNG project reversed how relationships with Indigenous communities work in the energy sector

Nov 8, 2024 | canadianenergycentre.ca | Cody Ciona

The final investment decision for the world’s first Indigenous majority-owned LNG project, on B.C.’s northern coast, signals a new era for Indigenous economic participation in Canada’s energy sector, says the Haisla Nation’s Chief Councillor. Crystal Smith says the Cedar LNG project reversed traditional roles for an energy project, with an Indigenous community inviting an outside proponent to participate rather than the other way around.
For second year in a row, Alberta oil and gas companies spend more than required on cleanup

Nov 5, 2024 | canadianenergycentre.ca | Grady Semmens

As a business owner, Ryan Smith values few things more than predictability when it comes to the oil and gas market and the demand for his company’s services. That’s why knowing that next year in Alberta, the regulator requires at least $750 million worth of work cleaning up inactive oil and gas wells and other legacy energy infrastructure is tremendously helpful for the CEO of Calgary-based 360 Engineering & Environmental Consulting.
