News at the Top – Fighting for Pipelines in Court

We head to the Alberta Court of Appeal to fight Trudeau’s Bill C-69, better known as the No More Pipelines Law.

Our Alberta Director Franco Terrazano and our Federal Director Aaron Wudrick talk about how much money Canadians are losing due to a lack of pipeline capacity.

Waste Watch – Ontario’s French University Flops

The Ontario and federal governments recently launched Université de l'Ontario français – Ontario’s new French university.

With only a handful of applicants, the project could cost taxpayers at least $400,000 per student. Renaud stays on to break down the expensive failure with our Ontario Director, Jasmine Moulton.
