On the same day the prime minister talked about the importance of “climate competitiveness” in keeping Canada’s economy strong and secure, his Liberal government gave the go-ahead to a major new piece of fossil fuel infrastructure.

Well, not quite.

LNG Canada is slated to pay less than a third of the millions of dollars it will cost to connect to BC Hydro’s clean electricity grid instead of burning gas to fuel its operations. 

The first phase of the massive export facility in Kitimat started up in June, launching BC’s bid to access global markets for the fossil fuel, particularly Asia.

Parched, the city has proposed piping water in. And selling it to the very industry some say caused the problem.

After three years of drought, the City of Dawson Creek has reached a dangerous tipping point as the Kiskatinaw River, its only drinking water source, falls to levels never before seen.

Two legal challenges filed in British Columbia claim a liquefied natural gas pipeline hasn't been "substantially started," contrary to a decision made by the provincial government back in June. 

Petitions filed in B.C. Supreme Court last week allege the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission natural gas pipeline project has been given the green-light by the B.C. Environment Ministry to go ahead without requiring a new environmental assessment certificate, which was first granted in 2014.

The project’s fast-tracked second phase would push a key pollutant far above current limits, documents reveal.

Nicknamed the “Eye of Sauron” by Kitimat residents, the flare from LNG Canada frequently engulfs the town in black, hydrocarbon-filled smoke, sometimes reaching the height of a 30-storey building. Last week, a resident reported to city council that his yard has smelled like burnt plastic.

B.C. environment and energy ministers just gave the green light to Ksi Lisims, a project capable of producing almost as much as LNG Canada’s first phase. Concerns remain about the environmental impacts of the project

The B.C. government has just approved the Ksi Lisims liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility, which will produce up to 12 million tonnes of LNG annually by 2028.

Big banks across the world are substantially increasing their financing of the fossil fuel industry, including for the industry’s expansion during a time of intensifying climate crisis, all while pulling back from previously stated climate commitments.
