Since Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his major projects
goals, Alberta has been crystal clear — it wants a new pipeline
to the west coast. Now, the province is planning to submit a
formal application to Canada’s Major Projects Office, but B.C.
won’t play ball. The House checks in with B.C. Energy Minister
Adrian Dix to get the west coast perspective, as well as Alex
Pourbaix, Cenovus Energy’s board chair, who is co-leading the
advisory group assisting the Alberta government on its pipeline
pitch.

Plus, as the death toll in Gaza continues to rise, Palestinians
in Canada are calling on Ottawa to bring their family members to
safety through an emergency temporary immigration program. CBC’s
Raffy Boudjikanian shares the story of Eman Alatbash, who worries
about her sister’s fate in Gaza and the rest of her family stuck
in Cairo.

Next, in the two years since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks on
Israel that triggered the war in Gaza, incidents of antisemitism
have risen dramatically around the world. What has to happen to
stop it? Human rights lawyer and former justice minister Irwin
Cotler joins Catherine Cullen to talk about the rise of
antisemitism in Canada and how to address it.

Then, a new report from an RBC research team suggests Canada’s
farming workforce is drying up. Author Lisa Ashton joins the show
to discuss what the federal government needs to do to shore up
Canada’s farms.

Finally, On his first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation as
prime minister, Mark Carney spoke in detail about a piece of art
he’s recently had installed on Parliament Hill. Catherine Cullen
speaks with artist Luke Parnell, who created A Brief History of
Northwest Coast Design back in 2007, about the prime minister’s
reflections on his work and the road ahead for reconciliation.
