Live from DC: The future of Canada-US energy, climate & trade

If you’re in Washington tonight, please join us at 7-9pm ET a great event at the gorgeous Newseum on Pennsylvania Avenue.

If you’re outside DC, the event will broadcast live on CPAC-TV and on C-SPAN in the U.S. (On-line at cpac.org and c-span.org)

On the heels of massive climate and anti-Keystone XL rallies in Washington, DC, and as the Canadian government prepares to announce new environmental regulations for the oil and gas sectors while the Obama administration mulls a decision on permitting a pipeline from Canada, we have brought together a panel with expertise in energy, climate, trade and Canada-US relations, to discuss the issues. Canada’s ambassador to the U.S., Gary Doer, will be there, and Peter Van Dusen of CPAC-TV will moderate. Maclean’s political editor, Paul Wells, and I will also take part.

And if you are in town, we look forward to meeting at the reception after the event. (Tickets and reception are complimentary.)
