Here's the thing, I wrote this in a quest to provide transparency sorely missing in #bcpoli on #lng. The "click bait" generation won't read it; the partisan hacks won't get past the 1st sentence. The main stream media will be too busy chasing the latest "gotcha headline". The @BCGreens will be lost in the hinterland of political irrelevancy; the @bcndp will blame everyone but themselves. And the @Conservative_BC will march forward uncontested with this ongoing intergenerational giveaway & sell out. Meanwhile @lngcanada & @WoodfibreLNG executives & shareholders continue to laugh amongst themselves concerning the ineptitude of BC negotiators! As @pinkfloyd said "is there anybody out there?"

Congratulations to @Conservative_BC as they prepare to form government. Governing carries a serious responsibility to all British Columbians.

I welcome @LDoerkson’s call to put the public ahead of party interests. I sincerely hope that opens the door to more pragmatism and policy grounded in evidence.

LNG would be a good place to start.

Exports are underway. But after tax concessions, electricity arrangements, water access and public infrastructure costs, what return are British Columbians actually receiving? And what could equivalent public support have achieved elsewhere?

Where are the evidence and pragmatism in this debate, @bcndp @BCGreens?

Show the numbers. Compare the alternatives. Plan beyond the next election.

Thank you @MarkJCarney for principled international leadership. We feel for the young players, but the world must stand united until Putin and his enablers are held accountable for their ongoing genocide in #Ukraine. I hope the US administration agrees tomorrow.
