In December 2025 the BC Court of Appeal released its judgment in Gitxaała v.

This Q&A post delves into questions about the case, the decision and what comes next.

Are you or your community impacted or at risk of being impacted by an environmental issue where you work, where you play sports or do recreational activities, or inside your home?

On October 1st, 2025, the Alberta government announced its intention to develop a proposal for a new crude oil pipeline to transport raw bitumen to the north Pacific coast. Unfortunately this idea fails to acknowledge some important realities.

This blog provides a reality-check on five key issues that must be central to the conversation about the idea of a proposed pipeline to the BC coast.

Parliament passed Bill C-5 giving the federal government sweeping powers to fast-track projects deemed to be in the “national interest.” We’ve set out seven non-negotiable criteria for what truly counts as being in the national interest.

BC Bill 14 promises to speed up approvals for renewable energy projects. But in practice, it’s designed to power LNG exports and mining – and it could gut environmental oversight in the process.

By sidelining scientific rigour and public oversight of those projects, Bill C-5 could put Canadians at risk while failing to address the immediate needs of Canadians whose employment and cost of living have been impacted by Trump’s tariffs. All while pitting Canadians against each other, fueling national dis-unity at a time when Canadians need to come together.
