Canadians Continue to Absorb Assaults On Economy.  -dh CBC. Postcards usually tell stories or show a vacation spot, but at a farmers market on Saturday they warned against a pipeline planned near Winnipeg's water supply. About eight volunteers with the Manitoba Energy Justice Coalition handed out postcards against pipelines at the St. Norbert Farmer's Market with a message to the mayor. "I urge you to protect Winnipeg's drinking water and the Shoal Lake Watershed by rejecting TransCanada's Energy East pipeline," the postcard read.

One of our public service sponsors continues to be especially active in defending the frontier of freedom against federal overreach.  Many of Pacific Legal Foundation's precedents apply to the energy industries indirectly while only appearing to directly affect the freedom and rights of a single landowner.  Accordingly, we urge our readers to support PLF along with its faithful -- and highly successful -- efforts to preserve constitutional protections for both corporate and individual citizens.  -dh Homeowners' lawsuit:  County's beach-sign ban flouts First Amendment The owners of a beachfront home sued Walton County [...]

Canadian Libs Want It Both Ways: Grudgingly Support Downstream Pipelines by Enthusiastically Increasing Carbon Costs Upstream and Pipeline "Conditions".   This way, climate change pols can get tax money flowing from pipelines while piously defending them by paying homage to the climate change emission gods -- and collecting even more penalty taxes to boot.  What's the problem; government's got to make a living, too.   And you wouldn't want to cut the helpful bureaucracy, right?  -dh Notley says slow Canadian economic growth part of NDP's case for pipelines [...]

Calgary Herald by Deborah Yedlin. There is no mistaking the sense of weariness pervading this year’s Stampede Week. Even the weather isn’t co-operating. But things are different compared to a year ago — when there were no deals being done, neither in the equity markets nor on the merger and acquisition front. In addition to the $15 billion that has been raised in the oilpatch since the beginning of the year — with most if not all deals being oversubscribed — there have been some interesting transactions that have taken place: [...]
