Varcoe: On eve of new era for Canadian energy exports, Keyera CEO welcomes Ottawa's push to fast-track major projects
Article content
'It creates the possibility, but a very clear process, which has at its heart consultation — full consultation with Indigenous peoples — to define what is a nation-building project.'
At Keyera, the midstream company said its deal with Houston-owned Plains will see the firm buy the assets and strengthen 'domestic energy infrastructure and energy security . . . and (it) establishes a strong, cross-Canada NGL corridor.'
The acquisition will give Keyera more size and scale, noted the company's CEO.
As for the country's broader energy sector, Canada has tremendous advantages to export more products from the Pacific Coast, including shorter shipping time to get LNG, crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) — propane and butane — to Asia than from the U.S. Gulf Coast.
But the country needs regulations and policies to enable more exports.
'Hopefully, we can be more competitive in the international space as we expand our LNG and hopefully export a growing amount of crude barrels to Asian markets,' Setoguchi said.
'I'm hearing positive things from our prime minister. I hope he follows through and makes it happen.'

DHL has tied the shutdown to stalled negotiations with Unifor as well as the revised rules, which bar new hires from filling the role of federally regulated employees who are on strike or locked out. The German-owned courier, whose 50,000 customers in Canada include Lululemon, Shein and Siemens, continued operations for the first dozen days of the work stoppage but began to wind down earlier this week as the legislation loomed. Unifor president Lana Payne says the company brought in replacement workers — a claim DHL has not denied — in a move she said was legal at the time but undermining fair wages. Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu said she met with both sides on Wednesday after DHL asked her last week to intervene in the standoff by compelling work to resume. Columnists World Toronto & GTA World MMA

WestJet cyberattack remains unresolved one week in, but operations unaffected
Passengers are seen in the WestJet check-in area at Pearson International Airport, in Toronto, Saturday, June 29, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christopher Katsarov WestJet says a cyberattack that began last week remains unresolved, as questions linger about the nature and fallout of the breach. The country's second-largest airline says it is working to assess whether sensitive data or customers' personal information was compromised after hackers accessed its internal systems. An online advisory says the attack, which was detected late last week, has not affected operations but that some customers may run into 'intermittent interruptions or errors' on WestJet's website and app. Spokesman Josh Yeats says investigations in collaboration with law enforcement are ongoing, but the company has not specified the type of the incident, such as a malware or ransomware attack. The breach at the Alberta-based airline arrived just ahead of foreign leaders, who gathered last weekend for the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., though no direct link to the event has been identified. Airlines and airports have become increasingly popular prey for hackers, as their troves of personal and financial data and global reach make for tempting targets. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 20, 2025. Christopher Reynolds, The Canadian Press
