Canada’s LNG industry faces a critical moment. The U.S. is advancing a $44B Alaska LNG project, targeting Japan—a top importer—while Trump’s tariffs threaten Canadian energy exports. B.C.’s shorter shipping routes to Asia are an edge, but Alaska’s momentum could overtake us. Ottawa and provinces must streamline approvals, fund infrastructure, and secure Asian trade deals. LNG Canada, Cedar LNG, and Ksi Lisims need full support to compete, create jobs, and diversify beyond the U.S. market—or risk losing out. #LNG #naturalgas #Trump #Canada

Ottawa will keep the oil and gas emissions cap. Introduced in 2021, it aims to cut emissions by 33% in 8 years via a cap-and-trade system. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith opposes it, citing unrealistic targets. Industry is warning of job losses. #oilandgas #Alberta

Energy and mining projects are stalling despite rising demand, with RBC estimating $2 trillion is needed by 2055 to revamp our energy system. Natural Resources Canada notes an 11% decline in project value from 2015 to 2024, and completed projects have dropped by 39%. As threats of a trade war grow, we must fully utilize our abundant energy and mineral resources, eliminate regulatory hurdles, and invest heavily in pipelines, mines, and LNG terminals. The time to act decisively is now to safeguard our economic future! #naturalresources #canada

BC Energy Regulator's new hydrogen framework, effective April 1, aims to boost the sector. It simplifies rules for small facilities and sets robust standards for large projects. With 80 low-carbon hydrogen projects announced in Canada, only 13 operate, but potential investment exceeds $100 billion! #hydrogen #energy

The Northwest Passage is thawing, sparking a heated race for Arctic resources! Canada’s leaders are rushing north to secure our stake, as a top gold miner presses for roads, ports, and power to tap the region’s untapped wealth. With global powers circling, our sovereignty hangs on harnessing these riches. The Arctic’s future is ablaze—will we claim its golden promise or let it slip away? #Canada #Arctic #gold

Premier David Eby urges Canadian provinces to unite in trade-war retaliation against the U.S., citing Ontario’s brief 25% surcharge on electricity exports to three states. Eby says coordinated efforts will maximize impact on Trump while minimizing provincial blowback. Most premiers agree, except Alberta’s Danielle Smith, who prefers diplomacy. B.C. has removed U.S. alcohol from stores and dropped Tesla charger rebates. Eby’s NDP also introduced legislation to curb American goods and services, targeting Republican states like Alaska. #Trump #Canada #BritishColumbia

Trump’s trade war fuels a Buy Canadian push, but B.C. salmon farmers face collapse. Grocery labels often hide salmon origins—Alaskan, not B.C. Fraser River stocks crashed; Trudeau’s policies gutted farming. Tariffs may finish it. “Industry’s on its knees,” says Brian Kingzett. Cermaq imports from Norway, Chile after a 45% production drop. U.S. takes 60% of B.C. salmon, but Canada’s market is too small to save farmers. Land-based systems? Too costly. Jobs hang in the balance. #aquaculture #BritishColumbia

BC’s Bill 7, the Economic Stabilization Act, aims to brace for Trump’s tariffs with flexible powers for Premier Eby’s cabinet—think new tolls or redirected funds. Yet, it sidelines resource projects like PRGT and Ksi Lisims LNG, key to BC’s economy and Indigenous ties. Alaska’s $44B LNG plan races ahead, while BC’s red tape stalls progress. With a “Henry VIII clause” raising concerns, Bill 7 balances agility vs. power, but may miss locking in BC’s resource edge. #Trump #BritishColumbia

What if women's rights hinge on energy access, not just policy? 733 million lack that and it impacts education, work and safety. The data links climate progress to empowering women. Watch the latest from Power Struggle with Stewart Muir!

Canada faces a trade war with Trump’s 25% tariffs exposing our oil export reliance on the U.S. TMX links Alberta to Asia, but regulatory chaos and ideology stall pipelines. Demand grows globally—experts see 100M+ barrels by mid-century. With vast reserves, Canada could lead, not just supply one neighbor. Ditch dogma, reform rules, and build coast-to-coast pipelines now—or risk losing our prosperity. #oilandgas #Canada #naturalresources
