This year’s B.C. government budget was a “missed opportunity” to ensure the economy is more resilient to Trump tariffs by driving job growth and energy security with more support for a clean economy, say climate experts.

The budget didn’t claw back prior climate initiatives or undermine the CleanBC plan, but lacked ambition to decarbonize the economy or put B.C. at the forefront of the global clean energy transition, said Chris Severson-Baker, executive director of the Pembina Institute.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been widely promoted by governments and industry throughout B.C.
as a fix-all solution that will supposedly boost B.C.’s economy, support local jobs, get countries in Asia
off coal, reduce B.C.’s reliance on American energy exports, and lower B.C.’s emissions.

B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad is pitching new laws targeting provincial environmental groups as part of his party’s strategy to combat U.S. tariff threats. 

Flanked by billboards reading “US millionaires are funding the destruction of B.C. economy” at a press conference Monday, Rustad argued the province needs legislation to ban B.C.-based environmental groups from receiving any U.S. funding for climate campaigns against oil and gas companies.
