Look out BC! China’s LNG demand drops for 13th month running. Last week, Pakistan cancelled a huge contract to purchase LNG from Qatar (even choosing to pay a penalty) because they no longer need/want it -- the solar revolution is quickly displacing demand for LNG.

Albertans like me are often led to believe that oil & gas companies employ a HUGE number of workers in our province. Nope. Only 5% of the workforce. All while the world is rapidly transitioning to renewables. Renewable energy = good, lasting jobs. #abpoli

Imagine the hole in Alberta’s budget when the price & demand for oil is in long-term decline in 2030s as a result of the energy transition and increased demand for clean energy. Not nostalgia for the past, it’s about winning the future. Just economics, folks.
Alberta faces $6.4-billion deficit as falling oil prices and trade troubles take toll

Today is a truly awful day in Climate politics in Canada. This move doesn't make that better, but I have to give some respect for the integrity Minister Guilbeault is showing here.
I can't imagine how anyone who cares about climate in this government can reconcile this mess.

I have so much respect and admiration for Catherine McKenna. I hope everyone reads this interview with her in the National Observer. What does she say about negotiating with oil&gas companies? "I would never trust them." #cdnpoli #climate
"We did buy a pipeline because we felt there was a need to still get Alberta's oil to market," McKenna says. "And what did we get? They did not live up to their end of the bargain under any stretch of the imagination."
As Carney-Smith pipeline deal looms, Catherine McKenna says oil companies can't be trusted. She would know

Mark Carney must draw a line and that starts with standing up for healthcare.
