“Fast-tracking fossil fuels will Build Canada Wrong rather than Build Canada Strong. While courageous people from around the world fight to avoid the increasingly catastrophic impacts of climate change at COP 30 in Brazil, Prime Minister Carney has announced a massive new fossil fuel project in British Columbia.
We should not be gaslit into believing exporting fracked gas is a climate solution. The International Energy Agency (IEA) just told us that cheaper renewables can end the fossil fuel era. Backing the American-owned Ksi Lisims LNG project will only deepen Canada’s dependence on fossil fuels and harmful extractive activities that threaten our natural heritage and well-being.
Critical minerals should be used to fight climate change, not wars. Canada should develop these resources responsibly and reserve their use for accelerating the transition to renewable energy, not to build weapons.”
