LNG pipeline, Iran/U.S. talks, Manitoba time change change, and more

4/24/202627 min

Ottawa has approved a $4 billion expansion for a natural gas pipeline in British Columbia. Energy Minister Tim Hodgson says construction will get underway this summer. While the government touts the speed of its approval, the Opposition is asking — what took so long?

And: It’s unclear who will be talking to whom. Washington is sending delegates to Islamabad to talk about the U.S.- Iran war. Tehran is also sending someone to Islamabad. But it’s not clear there will be any direct negotiations. We have the latest on the ceasefire, and whether the end of the war is in sight.

Also: Manitoba is the latest province to consider giving up the twice-a-year time change. Alberta and B.C. have also said they’ve moved their clocks for the last time.

Plus: U.S. considers retaliation on NATO allies, neurologist not guilty on 48 counts of sexual assault, Punjabi music drawing crowds and dollars, and more.
