SCOOP: An investigation by The Narwhal and Point Source shows LNG Canada burned 350 million cubic metres of gas in 2025, making it one of the worst polluters for flaring emissions globally and undermining Canada’s environmental claims. @writermjs.bsky.social #lng thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-b...
A beleaguered oil and gas company has left behind 4,000 orphan wells and, The Narwhal has learned, an estimated $476M cleanup bill in Alberta.
We called to hear their side of the story. They answered. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-long...

Airborne disease transmission doesn't just affect human populations. In collaboration with Herek Clack at the University of Michigan, my team has been funded $2M to study mechanisms of bird flu decay in the air, and to explore novel mitigation strategies.

An agreement between the Mi’kmaq and Parks Canada will allow both parties to govern almost all of Nova Scotia’s parks and historic lands together. Announced in December 2025, the Toqi’maliaptmu’k Arrangement comes after decades of relationship-building. thenarwhal.ca/mikmaq-parks...

This is a map of Via Rail’s routes from 1980. Never forget what they took from you.
And before you say "I'll use a VPN", Bill C-22 can mandate backdoors and mandatory logging for all VPNs that provide service to Canadians. This goes far beyond consistent interfaces and protocols for executing court-ordered intercept orders.
We need a COVID review in Canada as well, almost every one of our public health "leaders" are guilty of these obvious mistakes too.
doubly damning because we had a SARS inquiry that identified similar mistakes and they ignored them.
With the passage of Bill 5, the Ford government slashed the requirement to develop recovery plans for at-risk species. Now, internal documents reveal Ontario will not publish a handful of plans that were underway when the bill passed. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-enda...

If you care about #lawfulaccess (and you should), you should read what Robert has to say.
The new Bill C-22 (Lawful Access) will create new info demands and require "electronic service providers" to create new surveillance capabilities. Part 1 is improved from Bill C-2 but Part 2 is bad creating an expansive surveillance infrastructure. youtu.be/tZFbTYttuN8

We say we like efficiency, but then our current system is so, so wasteful.
Why isn't energy efficiency a Nation Building Project™ in Canada?
- The investments pay for themselves by at least 4x
- It creates jobs
- It lowers emissions
- It makes life more *affordable*

Well done, trending in the right direction.
A massive LNG project proposed in Quebec is quietly advancing. A Norwegian company wants to build one of Canada’s largest LNG export terminals in Baie-Comeau. Documents show Ottawa has assembled a federal “deal team” to help, @sarahkcox.bsky.social reports: thenarwhal.ca/lng-export-p...
