“... continued talk of oil pipelines and tankers, and the risk of a catastrophic oil spill in BC’s coastal waters, is not nation-building. In fact, it risks the goodwill and support of First Nations for more realistic and economically valuable nation-building projects in BC and beyond”

"The debate isn’t really about whether gas is slightly better or worse than coal, though. It should be about how both are terrible and that we need to get rid of both of them."

"LNG expansion is not compatible with the world avoiding dangerous global heating, with researchers finding in recent years the leakage of methane, a primary component of gas and a potent planet-heating agent, from drilling operations is far higher than official estimates"
#CDNPoli #Canada #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #NationBuilding #NoLNG #NoPipelines
"To think we should be shipping around this gas as a climate solution is just plain wrong. It’s greenwashing from oil and gas companies that has severely underestimated the emissions from this type of energy."

ICYMI from 2024: "The idea that coal is worse for the climate is mistaken — LNG has a larger greenhouse gas footprint than any other fuel"

"In Canada, roughly two-thirds of the population favour prioritizing clean-energy development over fossil fuels, and 85 per cent want federal climate action to be maintained or strengthened"

Disappointment in #Canada "is compounded by the fact that Carney has a long history of climate-related work", but has doubled down on "increasing subsidies to the oil and gas sector and thinking that building pipelines is somehow going to save Canadian prosperity"
#CDNPoli #NationBuilding #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #NoPipelines #NoLNG
#Canada "is not alone amongst Western nations and major oil and gas producers to have a poor rating" on climate action, but "it is uncommon for a country to slide backwards" as we are now.
With Carney, "progress on reducing emissions has stalled."
“We are seeing the government start to be more open to expanding fossil fuel production and that obviously is worsening the climate crisis.”

“Claiming that these carbon bombs opposed by First Nations are ‘nation building’ is like calling junk food your doctor has told you to avoid ‘medicine,’ (...) It’s magical thinking.”

Among Ksi Lisims' backers is Blackstone, a US company headed by longtime Trump ally & mega-donor Stephen Schwarzman.
Ksi Lisims is “wholly owned” by Western LNG, which has received “significant” investment from New York's Jefferies Financial Group & Chicago's Transition Equity Partners.
Which nation is Carney building, again?
"Ksi Lisims is being proposed by a Texas-based company and has U.S. backers"; the "terminal will be built in Korea and floated over" to the BC coast.
“Meanwhile, British Columbians are stuck with the pollution and higher energy bills, but very few lasting local jobs.”

When announcing his support for the LNG project, "Carney sidestepped sticky questions around the U.S. investment in Ksi Lisims and opposition from other First Nations in the region."

Reminder: Cornell has shown how pollution from LNG is 33% worse than coal -- but Mark Carney's science-denying Energy Minister flatly refuses to acknowledge reality.
Isn't denying science a Conservative Party thing? Who did we elect, again?

"... the environmental assessment of Ksi Lisims found that the project will result in significant greenhouse gas emissions, and two First Nations – the Lax Kw’alaams Band and the Metlakatla First Nation – are challenging the project in court."

Carney's support for Ksi Lisims & LNG Canada is "fundamentally at odds with Canada’s stated criteria that national interest projects “contribute to clean growth and address climate change"
#Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #NationBuilding
"... expanding fossil fuel infrastructure is not in the national interest. It will contribute significantly to declining health of people living in Canada, and to climate change in the form of wildfires, smoke and other weather-related extremes"
Calling these projects #NationBuilding "is an insult to all people living in Canada."
