Sixty per cent of respondents to The Logic’s latest subscriber survey think Alberta’s proposed oil pipeline should be built, but only 26 per cent think it likely will be. In late November, the federal government signed a memorandum of understanding with the province in support of the pipeline, which still needs a private-sector backer. The project would run from Alberta to the north coast of B.C. and carry one million barrels of oil per day, mainly to markets in Asia.

Whether you find yourself in a snowstorm or on a sunny beach this December, the holidays present an opportunity to reflect on the past year. Continuing our annual tradition, The Logic’s staff have compiled the best movies, books, podcasts, music and TV for you to binge this break. From emergency rooms to outer space, to the Baltic and Puerto Rico, some of our picks relate to tech and business, and some don’t. All of our selections were published or aired this year.
