B.C economy kind of remindes me of gulf states and Russia, most exports are natural resources I wonder what will happen when those run out? Also how much more it will get accelerated once, USA and China put a stranglehold on the province? https://www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/Files/abf58192-be2b-471f-bd16-f1f87ad1f512/ExportsAnnualData.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were in control of our resources we wouldn't need to be involved with a Texas based company OR load them up to send elsewhere. We'd eliminate these middle men. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, most expect one LNG plant will be built. Pathetic. Please notice what I and others have posted. We lost out. Other countries have taken our market because we pander. Is there still opportunity?

But, like you pointed out the Shell group bid looks very positive. Its a big space with a lot of countries and players, if we end up getting even one or two its a very big deal for us.

Things I would check for...... A committed focus to an ideal, regardless of it's validity, with a beleif in it that would rival the most devout religous type. Weighing into debates to try to get people in the country of question to battle one another. Poor use of the english language. Ensure that they allways hold their view as the view of everyone! I think you might have unearthered on there! Remember, the secret isn't to fall for the troll, it's to ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Horgan just all but ok'd LNG development in the province up to and including tax credits for investing companies. I recall stating he'd turn around and ok almost everything people swore he'd be against. Turns out I was right. B.C.’s provincial government is offering a PST exemption for the construction costs on any LNG facilities in an effort to secure a final investment decision from LNG Canada. The government is also setting a cap of $30 per tonne on its carbon tax, exempting LNG facilities from having to pay more in the event that the tax goes up to $50 per tonne. But the rebate would only apply if LNG Canada met a target to build the world’s cleanest LNG facility when it comes to carbon emissions. https://globalnews.ca/news/4099569/watch-live-b-c-premier-john-horgan-set-to-make-natural-gas-announcement/?utm_source=GlobalBC&utm_medium=Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDP doing better than I feared, that's for sure. Can't say I agree with everything Horgan has to say but definately strikes me as the kind I could go for a beer with.

Heck, if it's to put through an LNG proposal that the industry is cool with, I wouldn't be shocked to see the Liberals support them. For that at least. Very smart politicing by the NDP IMHO.

Horgan said Weaver was not happy and that it was ok to be unhappy. But Horgan is allowing Weaver to take the reigns for climate change and industry standards across multiple other industries as a trade off for this. Weaver is getting what he wants in broad areas while Horgan is allowing important areas to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
