Regional wildfires have triggered a state of emergency in B.C. for the fifth time in 10 years. Meanwhile, Premier David Eby and Prime Minister Carney's policies to expand LNG exports are adding fuel to the fire with no benefit for Canadians. 🔥Read my op-ed below:

Wildfire is a public cost of climate change yet there's no provincial acknowledgment they're exacerbated by domestic fossil fuel production

Canada was in disarray when Carney took the mask off, and some people have been slow to react. @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social is on top of it, I'm working with them on this subsidy challenge for @myseatosky.bsky.social ... and Ecojustice just filed another case challenging the 2030 target (below)

Ottawa warned public funding for LNG and fossil fuel projects could trigger Charter challenges
The next legal battle over LNG may not be about whether a project gets approved but whether governments can use public money to help it move ahead.

What is wrong with this picture? BC has only cut 2.3 million tonnes of climate pollution since 2007. But approved LNG projects will increase climate pollution by 20.2 million tonnes. To meet BC's climate target we need to cut 24 million tonnes of climate pollution by 2030.

What an excellent letter on #LNG in #Squamish by @myseatosky.bsky.social Kate is correct, calls for "unity" do not absolve us of our civic duty. Principled opposition is not hostility. www.squamishchief.com/opinion/squa...
Environmental governance does not end when a facility is fully built, or half-built. Over a decades-long operating life, strong and sometimes uncomfortable public pressure is one of the few tools communities have to ensure compliance, transparency, and continual improvement. Reducing that pressure does not protect the environment, it weakens oversight. History shows that sustained public pressure has meaningfully altered, delayed, or halted major oil and gas projects even after construction has begun, including Keystone XL.

Civility matters, but so does honesty. Squamish can engage respectfully while still being clear-eyed about the fact that many residents fundamentally oppose this project and will continue to say so. Communities do not owe the LNG industry or its regulators comfort when a project causes sustained concern about public health, human rights impacts, environmental risk, and climate responsibility.
