“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

CANADA’S ENERGY CITIZENS – Canada’s oil and natural gas industry is Shovel-Ready and Shovel-Worthy

Oil and Natural Gas Industry Offers a Pathway to Rapid and Sustainable Recovery 
 

 


As governments work toward reopening and rebuilding the economy, Canada’s oil and natural gas industry is positioned to play a critical role in developing solutions and delivering results. Oil and natural gas is one of Canada’s largest employers and most significant economic growth generators, and can drive a robust economic recovery to the benefit of the entire country. Click here to learn more on how Canada's oil and natural gas industry can help lead our economic recovery. 

 

Shovel-Ready and Shovel-Worthy

 

We have seen groups popping up and suggesting that now is a time for a transition to green energy and to move away from fossil fuels. Oil and natural gas projects are shovel-ready and shovel-worthy. These projects will put Canadians back to work with a multi-billion-dollar national supply chain, offer economic and self-sustaining opportunities for Indigenous communities and generate desperately-needed revenues for governments in the form of taxes and royalties.

 

Projects like the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX), officially started construction in Kamloops on June 1, and will offer 5,000 jobs at peak construction. These objectives can be achieved while leveraging the sector’s leadership on emissions reductions, water protection, land and species management.

Woodfibre LNG: A Canadian Opportunity to Reduce Global Emissions

 

A new study from Woodfibre LNG shows that Canadian natural gas exported through the Woodfibre LNG project will go to Asia where coal is the primary fuel source. When Woodfibre’s LNG displaces coal, there will be an emissions offset of 45%. That’s like taking 700,000 cars off the road or eliminating 76 years of Squamish’s emissions. See our most recent blog post for more information.   

 

Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion

 

The Comment Period on the Initial Project Description for the Fortis BC, Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project has opened. The Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project will create about 110 long-term jobs after construction completes in 2028. It will improve the resiliency of the system that supplies BC homes and businesses with natural gas and advance LNG as a marine fuel. You can submit comments here to support their project.

 

We encourage your ongoing support of major projects in British Columbia as a way to ensure that investment continues and our industry can continue to drive our country’s economic recovery.

The NDP is destroying BC's softwood industry as 100 Mile House mill shuts down and jobs vanish

No more than a few days after the province hosted its much-touted summit to discuss the continuing impact of U.S. softwood tariffs, and with Statistics Canada reporting another decline in BC’s softwood production, the axe has fallen on West Fraser Timber’s 100 Mile House mill. Lorne Doerkson, MLA for Cariboo–Chilcotin , says the devastation now hitting the South Cariboo is what happens when government ignores every warning sign coming from the forest sector. “One hundred and sixty-five people in 100 Mile House just lost their jobs,” said Doerkson. “That’s 165 families wondering how they’ll pay their bills and whether they can stay in their own community. The ripple effect will hit every business on main street, from the gas stations and restaurants to the grocery stores.” “The Minister’s thoughts and prayers aren’t enough for those families facing unimaginable hardship. It’s time this minister did his job and not another photo op,” said Doerkson. “The Minister thinks the ...

Premier’s Office Acknowledges Richmond Residents Affected by Cowichan Land Claim Face Issues on “Mortgages, Property Sales”

“The Premier’s Office is secretly sending letters to my constituents behind my back. If the NDP were truly committed to transparency and supporting residents, they would have proactively engaged with owners years ago, not rushed out last-minute letters to cover their tracks.” ~~ Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General, is criticising Premier David Eby and the NDP provincial government for secretly delivering non-committal, last-minute letters to Richmond residents affected by the Cowichan Tribes land claim. For over six years the NDP misled British Columbians on the implications of indigenous land claims. Premier Eby is now quietly sending staff to conduct damage control following public fallout from his 2019 strategic directive for government lawyers not to argue extinguishment of aboriginal title, even over p...

Kamloops woman’s cancer test cancelled due to Interior Health mandates for OB/GYNs (iNFO News)

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift. Troylana Manson now waits with the mystery of whether she might have cancer amid a staffing crisis for women’s health care specialists in Kamloops. “I was happy to have that appointment in December so we could rule this out, but now it’s thrown in the air again. People in Kamloops, certainly people in positions of power, need to realize what Interior Health is doing”  ... CLICK HERE for the full story
