New ⁦⁦@ABlawg⁩ post re Bill C-5 / Building Canada Act. TL/DR - it sure ain’t impact assessment; it’s an unprecedented deregulation move in modern times. Serious risk that ‘move fast and make things’ results in ‘move fast and break things’. ablawg.ca/2025/06/10/bil…

Here's our @ABlawg comment (w @jenniferkoshan @molszyns & @JWatsonHamilton) on the Mathur climate change decision of the Ont CA. The big lesson is that if a govt legislates wrt GHG emissions it must do so in a way that complies with the Charter. 1/2 #ableg

TIER has the potential to attract hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investment to Alberta. Read @emmadizon_'s op-ed on the importance of addressing some big challenges facing Alberta's carbon market. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

Thanks to ⁦@RanjPillai1⁩, the Premier of Yukon, for spending an hour with our students today in our Yukon field course. (How cool is this? At ⁦@UCalgaryLaw⁩, not only do you get to study Indigenous treaties in the Yukon, but you also get to be taught by Premiers!)

Amendments to fed IAA exhibit a cautious approach to correcting constitutional concerns expressed by @SCC_eng. One aspect trends toward abdication: GHGs. While IAA structure unchanged, proposed amndmnts trim process, therefore weaken. Both sides victorious; no one happy #cdnpoli

Upshot on IAA amendments: constitutionality safe, if timid. About as advertised by Wilkinson and co. Will take time to unpack details & surprises (eg total hand off to CNSC and CER now possible?! See 43.1). S.22 factors intact. Fed assessment lives on. (Like the Leafs?) #cdnpoli
