The Musqueam, along with the province and City of Richmond, had previously challenged the Cowichans claim.

Canadians Show Strong Support for Expanding Oil and Gas Development Amidst Trade Dispute: New Ipsos PollA recent Ipsos poll reveals that a majority of Canadians back expanding oil and gas development, including building new pipelines, amidst a trade dispute with the U.S. Eighty-three percent of those surveyed agree that Canada should focus on exporting more oil and gas to countries beyond the U.S., with thirty-four percent strongly agreeing. This shift in public opinion comes as Prime Minister Mark Carney works to expedite major projects, including new oil and gas initiatives, and following a memorandum of understanding between Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to build an oil pipeline from Alberta to Canada’s West Coast. The economic impact of the trade war with the U.S. seems to be influencing these attitudes, with seventy-seven percent of respondents believing the trade war will permanently change the Canadian economy and forty-eight percent expecting negative changes. While sixty-eight percent of Canadians support building a new pipeline to northern British Columbia, a slightly higher seventy-two percent prefer expanding the capacity of existing infrastructure first. Support for new pipelines varied by region, with Alberta showing the strongest backing, while Quebec and Ontario showed more preference for expanding current pipelines. This shift in priorities suggests that Canadians are willing to consider compromises on environmental concerns, such as climate change, if it means securing new markets for their oil and gas products outside of the United States.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveil a new agreement to expedite major project approvals, dubbed one project, one process, one decision. This initiative streamlines the regulatory journey for significant undertakings, eliminating duplication and potentially speeding up development. The federal impact assessment agency is given a deadline to review proposed roads leading to mining projects in northern Ontarios Ring of Fire region by June 2026. The Ring of Fire, rich in critical mineral deposits, is viewed as a key economic driver. Two First Nations, Webequie First Nation and Marten Falls First Nation, lead environmental assessments for three roads connecting their communities and future mining operations to the existing highway system. While these First Nations see these roads as crucial for alleviating poverty and offering economic opportunities, not all nearby First Nations agree, indicating community divisions. This agreement, announced on December 18, 2025, marks a significant step in handling large-scale projects in Canada, particularly those with both federal and provincial implications, and highlights the ongoing focus on resource development in northern Ontario.
