🇨🇦 B.C. cooked $1.46 billion out of thin air

B.C.’s government somehow overstated natural gas revenue by $1.46 billion due to errors, which is a lovely euphemism for governing by spreadsheet fantasy. When ordinary people miss numbers, they get audited. When bureaucrats do it, they call it forecasting. The province that loves lecturing the country about climate virtue and post-carbon enlightenment still counts on resource money to keep the machine running, until the math collapses. The details were reported, and they are as embarrassing as expected.

This is the Trudeau-era provincial model in miniature: punish productive sectors, posture for the global green priesthood, then quietly rely on the same industries you’re sabotaging. B.C. wants LNG cash, anti-industry credentials, and a balanced image all at once. That trick works only if nobody checks the books. A sovereign country serious about prosperity would expand energy, build infrastructure, and stop treating its own resource base like a moral stain. Instead, Canadians get managerial incompetence wrapped in eco-branding.
