#SQUAMISH - Tonight!
An Evening with #LandDefenders - Friday, Sept 13
Join an evening with land defenders from #Wetsuweten, #Gitxsan, and other #FirstNations, who will be in Squamish to share their community’s experience with the #CoastalGasLink #pipeline and the #LNG export facility in #Kitimat, B.C., and who are now fighting the proposed #PrinceRupert Gas Transmission line. This is an opportunity for community members to learn about the potential social and #environmental impacts of the #FortisBC #EagleMountain pipeline and #WoodfibreLNG projects in the Squamish region. A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation. The event is at the Eagle Eye Theatre in Squamish Friday, Sept 13 at 6:30 p.m. (doors at 6 p.m.)

The Canadian Energy Centre (CEC) is a publically funded provincial corporation created by former #Alberta premier Jason Kenney
"Gas Companies in Canada Fake Sustainability Numbers
They used the fake erroneous to score a pipeline expansion...
Gas companies in two of Canada’s largest provinces are relying on reports with erroneous numbers and deleted information that make natural gas appear more sustainable and cost-effective than it actually is as they race to lock in fossil fuel infrastructure for decades.
#Canada’s National Observer reported a supposedly independent, third-party report that Enbridge—#Ontario’s gas utility—commissioned to argue for natural gas contains data that erroneously inflated the cost of switching from natural gas to #electricity for home heating. The company has cited the inaccurate information to try to convince the utility commission and the public to let it expand natural #gas pipe capacity in the province.
The findings came on the heels of the revelation last week by Glacier Media that #FortisBC, #BC’s gas utility, demanded a report be altered to remove information that noted heat pumps and electricity are more efficient ways to decarbonize." ...

“The findings came on the heels of the revelation last week by #GlacierMedia that #FortisBC, BC’s gas utility, demanded a report be altered to remove information that noted #HeatPumps and #electricity are more efficient ways to #decarbonize. The company also instructed the report’s authors to remove a section stating Vancouver’s municipal ban on natural gas in new buildings should be introduced province-wide.”
