Extreme wealth inequality, pollution, species extinction and climate chaos are all symptoms of a sick system, one that isn’t serving the needs of most people.

White text on red background reads: Sisters in spirit… I can do a last minute UBCIC post- 

Today, UBCIC remembers and honours MMIWG2S+ on the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & Gender Diverse People. Formerly Sisters in Spirit day, we come together to remember and uplift those who left too soon, and who have disappeared. Indigenous women and girls and two spirit plus individuals experience disturbingly disproportionate rates of gender based violence, and we demand action from all levels of government. The National Inquiry’s Calls for Justice must be prioritized and implemented.

🔥If we use public dollars to electrify all these LNG exports, BC’s climate pollution will still increase by ~13 million tonnes. 🔥When the gas is finally burned overseas, add another ~130 million tonnes of climate pollution.

Fun facts: 🔥Since 2007, BC’s climate pollution has decreased by 2.3 million tonnes. 🔥Approved LNG export projects will increase BC’s climate pollution by 21.2 million tonnes by 2035. 🔥This is ten times more pollution than we’ve managed to cut in nearly 20 years.
Trends in BC's greenhouse gas pollution from 1990 to 2023, with two projected futures. Approved LNG projects will increase BC's emissions by 21.2 million tonnes. If we meet BC's climate targets emissions will decrease by 80%. From 2007 to 2023 BC has only reduced 2 million tonnes of climate pollution.

Carney tells us that among the criteria for a project being designated in the national interest, the major projects office considers whether the project “contributes to Canadas clean growth and climate goals.” And a BITUMEN PIPELINE PASSED THIS TEST? Then the test is bullshit.

LNG Canada Phase 2 would double output to 30 million tonnes a year, while global gas demand falls and a glut approaches. And they want to expand before proving Phase 1 is safe: its flaring already exceeds B.C. permits. Real leadership means scaling up clean energy, not doubling down fracked gas.
