The CEO of Teck Resources Ltd. defended his company's growth strategy on Tuesday as dissident shareholders criticized what they called "underperforming'' investments in coal and oilsands.

Teck Resources is leaving the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, an industry organization whose members represent about 80 per cent of Canada's oil and gas production.

Measures taken to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and low commodity prices are being blamed by Teck Resources Ltd. for a first-quarter loss attributable to shareholders of $312 million.

When premiers meet with Justin Trudeau next week, some will demand the federal government support instead of impede resource development, Roy Green says.

Teck withdrew its application for the Frontier oilsands mine citing uncertainty.

The application withdrawal the Teck Frontier project means that existing producers with approved projects or those planning expansions have a decided advantage over new entrants, said oilsands analyst Phil Skolnick of Eight Capital.

Given that global oil demand is still going to rise over the next two decades, Rob Breakenridge says we need to hear Justin Trudeau's views on how Canada fits into that.

Tasha Kheiriddin says protesters' goal is not reconciliation, but repudiation: a rejection of the project that is the Canadian state.

Long pipeline routes that cross provincial and Indigenous territorial boundaries are part of the reason that Canada is a more difficult place than the U.S. to build major energy projects, according to American analysts.

Teck Resources CEO had not committed to the oilsands project being built even if approved.
