"Our collaboration with Imperial is noteworthy—involving two major players in Canada's energy sector in support of furthering Canada's goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050," said Louis Tremblay, president and CEO of FLO. "Importantly, the agreement will generate financial benefits that will allow FLO to expand its EV charging station deployments, propelling our goal of transforming Canada's mobility future. We're thrilled with this agreement, and eager to bring Canadians more reliable EV charging solutions nationwide."

"Canada has clearly defined policies that support lower-emissions solutions and deployment of new technologies," said Jon Wetmore, Imperial's vice president of downstream. "Our collaboration with FLO will complement other Imperial GHG emission-reduction efforts, including plans to produce and supply lower-emission fuels, next-generation resource recovery technologies and carbon capture."

Key components of the collaboration include jointly developing a charging service option for Imperial's Esso- and Mobil-branded wholesalers, and an agreement to transfer credits under federal Clean Fuel Regulations.

Oil Price and Inflation: What’s the Correlation?

When oil prices plunged to four-year lows this year, many analysts immediately turned to the inflation narrative, dusting off the long-held belief that where oil prices go, inflation follows.

South of the border, cooling rhetoric from the Trump administration led a relatively quiet news week.

Markets were volatile at the start of the week, however, after US President Donald Trump suggested on April 17 that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s “termination couldn’t come fast enough.” The president softened his stance on Tuesday (April 22), saying he has no intention of firing the head of the US central bank, but called him a “major loser.”
