After a 5-year gap, @iea.org's 2025 WEO returns the Current Policies Scenario (CPS)—showing demand under today's policies, a ‘base case’ in my view. Clean energy grows, but so does oil & gas to 2050. The STEPS assumes additional climate policy, O&G demand declines, but slowly

Finally made it to Mount Assiniboine, the Matterhorn of the Rockies! At over 3,600 m, its sharp peak is one of the most iconic sights in the Rockies. I’ve admired it for years from Sunshine Village, but seeing it up close was something else. Even with a 40 km hike and a heavy pack, it was worth it!

Ksi Lisims LNG secures approvals from B.C. & Ottawa with conditions. At ~1.6 Bcf/d, it, along with other projects, helps to elevate Canada as a major LNG exporter—boosting sovereignty, trade, gas prices & the economy. FID still ahead, but this marks a pivotal milestone!

As summer winds down, I’m reflecting the beautiful places I have visited. A summer highlight: visiting Skoki Lodge—near-luxury backcountry lodge with no running water or electricity, operating the same way for nearly a century. My first summer visit, and well worth the trip!

After years of trying — and failing — to get there, I finally made it to Lake O’Hara in Yoho National Park. This true gem of the Canadian Rockies was worth every bit of the wait. Now I understand why Group of Seven artist J.E.H. MacDonald fell in love with it over a century ago.

Lately, the top question I hear: Do we need more pipelines to the coast? ABSOLUTELY. To unlock value, boost security, and grow influence, we must expand our reach to tidewater. Read my article in the Globe and Mail #oilandgas #cndpoli #abpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...
Opinion: Yes, absolutely – Canada needs more oil and gas pipelines to our coasts
By lacking energy exports, we undermine our influence, autonomy and economy
