The federal government has announced another goal for its climate and emission plan. This is a precursor to a new budget coming out in weeks.
Forty percent decrease in emmisions from 2005 level.
This is the tenth plan and none have met the projections as yet, the PMO says if we don’t act now it will be too late.

TMX, Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, Edmonton to Burnaby has plans to upgrade its storage capacity as well as its loading to ship’s efficiency. The existing line from Edmonton to Burnaby will be 70 years old in 2023. The twinning of the pipeline declared to be a national interest has increased its cost to a projected 21 billion dollars at completion with its completion date moved to the third quarter of 2023 from its intended December 2022 finish date.
One of its features is a landline fiber that runs on top 🔝 the pipe and has the side benefit of bringing quality internet to several small communities along its approximate1,000 km route.
The Trans Mountain pipeline status is not far from its roots as it was a national interest that was created by an act of Parliament 70 years ago next year. Ownership migrated to the US and conglomerates until the purchase by the Canadian government recently. We hope that its completion will see the public trading of shares and will give Canadians an opportunity to own the security of energy into the future.
