Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>I have come to the conclusion that the positions by the three BC Political Parties boil down to this. Two are obvious, one, the NDP, much less so.</p><p>BC Conservatives: Drill Baby Drill Forever cuz God will eventually save us from our own stupidity, or we'll go to heaven anyway so it doesn't matter.</p><p>BC Greens: LNG is just lipstick on a fossil fuel pig. It needs to stop as part of a strategy of transition for workers and the economy. (see link)</p><p>BC NDP: We believe in Climate Change and that we should reduce our emissions. But workers vote. So we're going to string the industry along for long enough that people get jobs for awhile and we get donations. Hopefully it'll all just collapse and we can move people to other industries before we actually start shipping this liquified idiocy in large amounts out of BC.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/BCLNG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BCLNG</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/CPBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CPBC</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/BCNDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BCNDP</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/BCGreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BCGreen</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/ClimatePolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimatePolicy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/JustTransition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JustTransition</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Workers</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/BCPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BCPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CanPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/EndFossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EndFossilFuels</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.timescolonist.com/opinion/monique-keiran-study-finds-lngs-greenhouse-gas-footprint-worse-than-coal-9732901" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">timescolonist.com/opinion/moni</span><span class="invisible">que-keiran-study-finds-lngs-greenhouse-gas-footprint-worse-than-coal-9732901</span></a></p>
