I’ve been following the progress of #WoodfibreLNG since it was a stack of binders. Today’s economic impact report is worth a look if you want to understand the scale and value of the work.

“What a great day for Canada…Canada’s building big again.” PM Mark Carney comments moments ago in Vancouver on today’s news - phase 2 of LNG Canada, which will become the second largest LNG facility in the world.

I’ve been her boss for years at @Resource_Works. @Margare7a led the Indigenous partnerships work, built our COVID recovery coalition, took research to Parliament, and a lot more. Best of all, she’s mentored so many other young people along the way. A pillar. And very serious in the honourable duty of asking voters for their consideration.

So proud of what this young man has accomplished in such a short time.

A 90-day diesel export ban - floated, backed and seemingly denied before nap time at the White House. Since we're thinking about this anyway, here are some facts about the production, trade and use of Canadian diesel fuel.

Canada is ready to build - I’ve never seen this degree of alignment. In 2017 the proponent walked away from Pacific NorthWest LNG at Prince Rupert. Had project opened on original schedule in 2019, my conservative estimate is it would have shipped about C$93 billion of LNG by now. The tally passes C$100 billion in mid-January. Investors are undoubtedly chewing over these same facts. Hence the importance of getting it right this time. #InvestInCanada #CanadaEconomy #GetItDoneBC

Question of the day: can anyone think of a secure, dependable alternative source of fuels the world can’t do without?

Noteworthy advice from Sean Boyd, chair of Canada’s largest mining company by market value and the world’s second-largest gold producer. The author will be speaking Oct. 23 at a @Resource_Works event in Toronto with Energy Minister @timhodgsonmt, I’ll paste the link into this thread. financialpost.com/commoditie…

There’s nothing left to debate: West Coast energy export projects gave Canada the fortitude and stamina to weather the U.S. trade war. I’m grateful to @GlobalBC News for allowing me to explain why that’s a major takeaway from our new @Resource_Works analysis authored by Philip Cross.

Trump’s tariffs landed and one corner of the 🇨🇦 economy just kept humming – the one shipping energy to Asia from the west coast. The facts are now in, leading to an inescapable conclusion: the Trump-resistant option to reduce Canada’s exposure starts right under our feet.
A new study by economist Philip Cross for Resource Works finds that B.C.’s oil and gas production rose 92.2% since 2015. New pipeline and LNG capacity drove exports, high-paying jobs and trade diversification. Read the study out today: resourceworks.com/what-b-c-s…
