More fracking. No consultations. A fast tracked environmental assessment. All good stuff

The Norwegian company Marinvest Energy AS wants to build Canada’s third largest LNG export facility on the shores of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec

The company has a non-disclosure agreement with Ottawa which prevents discussion of the proposal with “officials outside the federal government”

Quebec is an ideal location for ships headed to Europe, but a similar proposal was rejected in 2021 over concerns about risks posed to Indigenous communities and the environment

Cuts to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada is set to off-load housing asylum costs to municipalities, cut preventive care for asylum seekers and weaken supports for "economic migrants"

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is set to off-load housing costs of asylum seekers to municipalities, including the possible future operating costs of a reception centre in Ottawa, according a new report.

The Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP) is set to be off-loaded from the federal government to municipalities.

With it, it seems the City of Ottawa could be on the hook for the operating costs of a likely new reception centre in a vacant downtown hotel that could amount to $15 million to $25 million a year, the report said.
