Dear Reader,

Our annual resource development issue is now available online and on newsstands. In our must-read cover story, staff journalist Ashley Fitzpatrick attempts to make sense of the much touted but details-are-scanty Atlantic Loop.

Ashley takes a deep dive into the complex and controversial Muskrat Falls rate mitigation plan. Will mitigation help nudge the Atlantic Loop from concept to reality? And is the Loop a necessary first-step towards a national energy grid and Canada’s 2030 net-zero carbon goals? Will the provinces be able to put domestic differences aside for the greater good? Can the country afford for them not to? They’re all tough questions, with no easy answers.

Also this issue: the risks and rewards of a regional hydrogen strategy, the deeper meaning behind this year’s iceberg no-shows, five young fishers explain why they took to the sea and Labrador iron ore hits its heyday – after 70 years of production.

Check out our subscriber-exclusive flipbook to experience the full curated issue the way it was intended.
