🇨🇦 Ottawa suddenly discovers gas pays the bills

After years of climate sermonizing, Ottawa just approved FortisBC’s Tilbury LNG expansion because, shockingly, energy security and GDP still exist. The project adds capacity for 7,700 tonnes of LNG per day, promises 6,200 full-time-equivalent years of construction work, 100 permanent jobs, and up to $1.7 billion in provincial GDP, as reported. Julie Dabrusin says this somehow protects the environment while advancing reconciliation, which is the usual Ottawa magic trick: approve a fossil-fuel project, then bury it under enough buzzwords to keep the activist class sedated.

The real story is the contradiction. B.C. liberals in NDP clothing spent years choking national development with reviews, delays, and ritual guilt, only to rubber-stamp LNG the second ferries, ports, and export demand needed fuel. Eby’s big tent means one minister can denounce the project on safety grounds while the government cashes the economic benefits. This is what post-Trudeau Canada looks like: anti-energy theatre in public, resource dependence in private. The country still survives on what globalist managers pretend to hate.
