Keystone XL pipeline construction will begin next
year, after a U.S. State Department review ordered by a
federal judge finished that environmental damage from a
leak is unlikely and could be eased, according to a
spokesperson. The company has already started prepping pipe
yards, transporting pipe and mowing parts of the project’s
right-of-way in Montana and South Dakota.
Aurora Cannabis Inc. more than tripled its revenues in
the fourth quarter, hitting $19.1 million. The gross margin
on medical cannabis rose 74 per cent, from 58 per cent in
the fourth quarter last year. The increase was mostly due
to higher average selling price per gram of dried cannabis
and a higher proportion of cannabis oil sales.
