A foreign backed LNG plant next to a Salmon Run in Canada.

A foreign backed LNG plant next to a Salmon Run in Canada! They must believe our Canadian government is a friendly sell-out to polluters? It must be the long years of the Harper Conservative administration that created the international impression we are friendly to polluters! I hope our new Liberal government has better and higher values!
What is clean air and water and non polluted food worth to you? As a Canadian citizen are you ready to sell-out your country for money?

Canada's next big climate fight is taking place on tiny Lelu Island, the proposed site of a massive foreign-backed LNG plant. Send a message to our Environment Minister and the Environmental Assessment Agency to reject this disastrous project! ADD YOUR VOICE Joseph, The next fight against climate change is happening on a tiny remote island in northwestern British Columbia -- andeverything is at stake. Malaysian-owned Petronas wants to build a massive LNG plant on Lelu Island, right on top of Canada’s second largest wild salmon run. The project runs roughshod over First Nations rights and would create one of the largest single-point sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the country. We need to make it impossible for Canada to approve this project. That’s why we’re flooding the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) and Environment Minister Catherine McKenna with all the reasons this project would be a catastrophe for Canadians. This is Canada’s next big climate battle. Can you tell Minister McKenna and the CEAA why this is a fight we can’t lose ahead of the submission deadline this week? The Petronas project would be an ecological disaster. The waters off the coast of Prince George are home to majestic Grey whales, Fin whales and Killer whales -- all listed as at risk. Also, this project would put porpoises, sea lions and sea otters that are already at risk in even more danger. Investing in Petronas is risky and makes no economic sense. Petronas is mired in corruption charges back home. The president is currently accused of stealing $700 million and covering up $11 billion in debt. Meanwhile, the global price of LNG is plummeting due to market saturation, making the project a serious gamble. But right now, we have one week to stop this project from happening. Our new government promised it would protect the environment, respect Indigenous rights and listen to scientists. It promised to put Canadians first -- not profit for foreign corporations. The government has a public comment period open right now, and it if we flood it with comments, we can make sure this disastrous project is never built. Click here to send Minister McKenna a message about the boneheaded plan to build an LNG plant on Lelu Island.
