The Global Energy Show kicks off at the BMO Centre in Calgary on Tuesday, and it comes amid ongoing national discussions about Canada's energy future. The Global Energy Show runs June 10-12 at the BMO Centre in Calgary. It's Canada's largest B2B energy event, with over 500 exhibitors and more than 30,000 people expected to attend. 'The talk that's continuing to increase about major infrastructure projects—that's what's really driving more exhibitors and more delegates. Our registration is up by more than one-third compared to the 2024 event,' said Nick Samain on behalf of the Global Energy Show. Premier Danielle Smith will speak at the conference on Wednesday. Ahead of federal approval, she's working to convince B.C. Premier David Eby to allow a new pipeline to transport oil from Alberta to the coast. 'I think it's very clear from our perspective that no other project would provide as large of a positive impact to the Canadian GDP or, frankly, Indigenous economic reconciliation than this particular project,' said Brian Jean, Alberta's minister of energy and minerals. The Global Energy Show runs June 10-12 at the BMO Centre in Calgary. The Global Energy Show runs June 10-12 at the BMO Centre in Calgary.

‘Pretty heavy during rush hour': Marion upgrades to cost $133M
A plan to upgrade a major route in St. Boniface has surfaced at City Hall. Jeff Keele has more. Suzanne Leclair has to navigate through Marion Street and Archibald Street in St. Boniface daily. 'It's pretty heavy during rush hour, especially. There's a lot of traffic here,' said Leclair. She said that leads to delays during her commute. 'I leave five minutes later, I'm waiting through two to three light cycles to turn.' Now a long-awaited plan has come forward to upgrade Marion, including Goulet, from St. Mary's Road to Lagimodiere Boulevard and Dugald Road. A report said this aims to improve safety and traffic flow. 'I'm pleased to see where it's at. It's been many years in the making,' said St. Boniface Coun. Matt Allard. The plan has dedicated bike and walking paths, pavement renewals, and changes to intersections, including widening in some areas. The cost for all of this is pegged at $133 million. The report said it could be done in stages to stretch the costs over time. It would require 65 private property acquisitions, at a cost of $14 million. Allard believes this will help ease traffic congestion because it will get more people walking, biking and taking the bus. But there will still be a major roadblock for drivers: trains crossing at Marion and Archibald. In 2016, city council voted down a plan to build an underpass there because of the more than half a billion dollar price tag. Plus, there was community backlash because of the dozens of properties that would have been bought out or expropriated to make it happen. Public Works Committee Chair Janice Lukes said the underpass project was not feasible. 'The other one annihilated whole neighbourhoods, like it took out major acquisitions, like a major freeway dropped into the neighbourhood,' said Lukes. 'So this one is still going to move vehicles.' Leclair understands how expensive an underpass would cost, but she said it would be worth it there, especially during rush hour, when she's forced to wait 20 to 25 minutes in a long line of cars. 'Sometimes all the way down to Tache, because it's so backed up from trains,' said Leclair.

GFL in talks to sell stake in infrastructure arm, source says
Canadian waste management giant GFL Environmental Ltd. GFL-T is in talks to sell a stake in its infrastructure arm, GIP, in a deal that would value GIP's equity around $3.3-billion, according to someone familiar with the situation. GIP stands for Green Infrastructure Partners and was spun out of the waste management company in early 2022. GIP's services include demolition, excavation and remediation, and the company bulked up by purchasing Coco Paving, a family business run by siblings Jenny and Rock-Anthony Coco that predominately operates in Ontario. GIP was created with financing from private equity firm HPS Investment Partners, which took a 47 per cent stake, while GFL kept 45 per cent and GFL co-founder Patrick Dovigi owned eight per cent. Mr. Dovigi has long talked about wanted to monetize the business, potentially through an initial public offering, but GIP faced headwinds in recent years, partly owing to cost inflation on projects. GIP has also replaced a number of executives, including its CEO. Instead of going public, GIP is now in talks to sell a stake in the business, though the expect percentage to be sold remains unclear. A deal would allow existing owners to cash out some of their holdings, and would also provide some capital for growth, according to the source. The Globe and Mail is not naming the source because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the transaction. After adding in $1.3-billion in debt, the deal would give GIP an enterprise value around $4.5-billion, according to the source. There are currently six private capital firms in the bidding process, and the deal is expected to close mid-summer, although talks could fall apart if market conditions deteriorate. More to come
