The funding of Alberta\u0027s E3 Lithium is part of a series of steps taken by Canada to ensure EV production occurs close to home. Read more.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland used a series of speeches this fall to stress the need for “,” an idea that would see democratic allies build supply chains through each other’s economies and tackle the influence of authoritarian regimes in the energy sector.
E3 Lithium, which owns properties in south central Alberta, is working on technology to extract lithium from old, depleted oil and gas reservoirs. Doornbos said E3 controls mineral rights in the Leduc Aquifer, which was discovered as a source of oil in the 1940s, and then was “drilled out” by the 1990s.Article content
“It’s a well understood resource that we are repurposing to turn into a lithium play,” Doornbos said. “It’s a big water bearing aquifer that has lithium dissolved in the water and E3 has the technology to extract the lithium out of the water.” The CEO added that part of the funding would be used to test the technology and demonstrate that it can work in the field. That’s E3’s main goal next year. After the pilot, the company hopes to develop the commercial project, which includes making an engineering plan, drilling wells to pump the fluid from the aquifer and bringing it to a facility to extract the lithium.

Failure of intelligence led to failure in policing during Freedom Convoy: 'levels of law enforcement must act sooner,' say insiders and expertsThe duration and severity of this past winter’s Freedom Convoy protest in downtown Ottawa began with a failure of intelligence leading to a failure in policing, and is “a confirmation of the failure of preparation,” say security experts and insiders following the Public Order Emergency Commission. Wesley Wark, national security expert and a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, said there is now a better understanding of policing failures which were very evident in the early days of the Freedom Convoy occupation in Ottawa and in terms of the border blockades. “Real policing failures, by which I mean an inability to respond quickly and effectively to these occupation, either in Ottawa or at the borders,” said Wark, who added that those failures were a direct product of intelligence breakdown. “Intelligence at all levels, from local police forces, to Ottawa police, to provincial, to federal especially, did not have a good handle on either the intentions or the capabilities of the Freedom Convoy protest,” said Wark. Wark pointed to the OPP’s “Project Hendon,” described in his newsletter as an “ambitious project to bring together law enforcement agencies from across Canada to study the rise of mass civil dissent and protests. The project initially focused on public safety threats prompted by a series of protests surrounding Indigenous issues such as the Wet’suwet’en pipeline protests in British Columbia and related protests in Ontario.

The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade As the pandemic took hold, the attention of the project shifted to monitoring anti-government activity fueled by opposition to public health measures, according to Wark. “To be fair to the project, their threat assessments on the Freedom Convoy were the best intelligence product that we’ve seen,” said Wark. “The pr
