People focusing on the Second Sons wearing masks in Kamloops need to realize that there are minimal consequences for residential school denialism when not wearing a mask. This politician is still in office, without a mask, representing a Vancouver district not a rural one.

LNG Canada Phase 2
Laklaran [LEKWUNGEN] TERRITORY / VICTORIA, B.C. — "I'm deeply disappointed to see LNG Canada Phase 2 move ahead with the Final Investment Decision - and to see both the BC NDP, Conservatives all applaud this move, while committing to further expansion of oil and gas throughout our province.
LNG Canada is an entirely foreign-owned project. It is owned by Shell, one of the most profitable companies in history, several foreign state-owned oil companies, and US private equity. LNG Canada's owners also own the fracking operations in the Peace that feed the project. The profits from LNG development flow directly to shareholders and governments abroad, while the costs stay here. Families in Kitimat and Terrace are already living with the health effects: dirtier air, rising asthma rates, and rogue flares lighting up the sky. And for all the public money and all the risk, Phase 2 will create a maximum of 150 permanent jobs.
These are nation-draining projects, and the BC Greens oppose taxpayer handouts to foreign investors. Every public dollar we pour into them digs us a deeper hole. That money should be building Canadian-owned industries that move our economy up the value chain.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ye6fhyor6bpm7ir3hc2xunpd/bafkreicmhriciziuuzlbn6ayntw6npajirfz5q2ehc5sgmygnbty24cycy)
