American billionaires are trying to buy control of Canada’s energy future
MAGA mega-donor Steve Schwarzman, a close advisor to Donald Trump, wants B.C. to fast-track the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline. Why? Because his trillion-dollar Wall Street firm, Blackstone, is now the biggest investor in the project.
Expanding U.S.-backed fracking operations in B.C. will:
– Hand more control of our energy resources to the United States
– Send thousands of Canadian construction jobs overseas
– Unleash American contractors on Indigenous communities who say no
– Destroy fresh water, salmon and wildlife habitat
– Accelerate climate warming (methane gas leaks are even worse than burning coal)
– Delay the creation of good jobs in the renewable energy industry
The only way this project can move ahead is if B.C. Ministers Tamara Davidson and Adrian Dix allow PRGT to use an expired environmental certificate from 2014.
Indigenous communities along the pipeline route are calling on the B.C. government to reject PRGT and let the project expire. Add your voice in support!
