Regarding Woodfibre LNG, company spokeswoman Rebecca Scott said: “As always, we remain focused on building a facility that will create high-paying jobs, local economic investment, and continued community supports that benefit 麻豆社国产residents and the 麻豆社国产Nation members. [“麻豆社国产council scolds Woodfibre LNG over water lease application process,” published July 29].

The focus of the preceding statement is typical of Woodfibre LNG, and also of the premier and the unelected spokesperson for the NDP on the CBC’s Early Edition political panel and corporate lobbyist, Moe Sihota. The use of  “involved and informed” and  “engagement” is restricted to focus on  “economy,” from Greek, meaning “counting the house”; the “house” is being counted, but the full consequences to the house are not counted.

Consider the following from , written by Tzeporah Berman, the chair of the , and Nathan Taft, from the treaty’s sister campaign, Safe Cities, to which the City of Vancouver is signatory:

“Even as fossil fuel companies admit the climate crisis is a real and pressing issue, they are continuing to build out infrastructure to support 120% more fossil fuel than the world can burn in a 1.5 C scenario ... There are pathways to a 1.5 C world — they do not include fossil fuel companies and governments that insist they can keep expanding production under the guise of 'net-zero.'”

Furthermore, does Woodfibre LNG not understand the implications of advertising alliance with the 麻豆社国产First Nation while they are still without a treaty?

. Without a treaty, their options for generating money and opportunity are constricted. Would they have allied with LNG resource extraction if their treaty was settled?
