Step 1: Sign the Petition
American owned LNG with ties to Trump and Epstein are not in our national interest and will not create long term jobs or economically benefit Canadians. Ksi Lisims and LNG Canada Phase 2 will pollute our water and air with fracked methane gas, which has severe health impacts. BCHydro subsidies of these fossil fuel projects using our taxpayer dollars will increase costs for individual households around $188 per year (link).
TELL YOUR MP WHY THEY SHOULD SAY "NO" TO FOSSIL FOOL PONIs AND "YES" TO GREEN PONIs!
PONI = Project of National Interest.
Funding decisions for PONIs by Federal Ministers of Parliament will continue through 2026.
Your MP will be in their riding for the summer -- now is a great time to book a meeting with them! The first step is to email your MP and ask for a meeting. A group of constituents has more power to win a meeting than one individual. The next step is for you and your neighbours to build power with an in person petition to your MP in your local riding!
Sign the online petition to get started: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/no-public-funds-for-lng/
The Petition: NO PUBLIC FUNDS FOR LNG
To the House of Commons, The Government of Canada, and the Prime Minister.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons, the Government of Canada, and the Prime Minister to:

The Petition: NO PUBLIC FUNDS FOR LNG
To the House of Commons, The Government of Canada, and the Prime Minister.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons, the Government of Canada, and the Prime Minister to:
- Rescind the referral of Ksi Lisims and LNG Canada Phase 2 to the Major Projects Office to be considered as Projects of National Interest (PONIs);
- Not fund nor subsidize nor otherwise in any way support KSI Lisims nor LNG Canada Phase 2; and
- Instead refer Indigenous-owned, shovel ready, solar electric and other renewable energy projects to the Major Projects Office and fund these green PONIs and affordable housing with the Canada Infrastructure Bank and other public monies.
Step 2: Email Your MP
The more power you and your neighbours can build in your riding together as a group, the more impact you will have on your federal Member of Parliament. Our theory of change as we're working on our campaign targeting MPs is that:
IF we can show MPs that a majority percent of their voters want BCHydro bills and other costs to go down, with more public services like housing funded and No Public Money for LNG,
THEN your MP will feel concerned that they might lose their voters if they choose to fund fossil fuels/LNG with public money,
AND THEN the Canada Infrastructure Bank and other federal banks and PM Carney will decide to fund housing and solar energy initiatives that reduce the cost of living for Canadians.
Use the tool below to email your MP!
There's also a tool to email the Canada Infrastructure Bank about funding at Dogwood BC!
Suggested information for your letter:
No public money for risky foreign-owned LNG projects. That's our taxpayer money and it should be used for public good.
BCHydro subsidies of these fossil fuel projects using our taxpayer dollars will increase costs for individual households around $188 per year (Vancouver Sun article).
Fracked methane gas pollutes Canadian water and air and has long term health impacts for Canadians.
LNG doesn’t provide long-term jobs or much economic benefit for Canadians.
LNG exports make foreign billionaires richer while Canadians pay higher energy costs.
LNG mega-projects rely on taxpayer subsidies that cost Canadians while enriching foreign investors.
Canadian taxpayer dollars should be used for the public benefit, like housing, healthcare, and renewable energy that puts money in our pockets.

WHEREAS
- Fracked methane gas and liquefied methane gas known as “LNG” has severe negative health impacts for Canadians,
- “LNG” and fossil fuels are a dead end economically for Canada as demand will peak in 2027. There is no business case for LNG.
- Ksi Lisims is 100% American- owned and LNG Canada Phase 2 is 60% foreign- owned. This is not Canadian sovereignty.
- Both Ksi Lisims and the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline project’s early investors are US private equity firms linked to Trump and Epstein.
- Subsidies from BCHydro for those American owned projects have already been promised. Rather than decreasing utilities costs for Canadian citizens, the average BC household will see utilities costs increase by $188 per year.
- It is likely that these MAGA and American owned fossil fuel projects will be “stranded assets” when the demand dies. The American fascist billionaires will run away with our taxpayer dollars to fund their wars (maybe even against us) without losing a penny themselves and leave us with the bill to clean up the mess.
- Ksi Lisims, PRGT, LNG Canada Phase 2 violate Indigenous sovereignty as well as Canadian sovereignty. The Gitanyow and Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs along with the Lax'Yip Firekeepers of the Gitxsan have clearly said “no consent” to these projects.
- Fracked methane gas “LNG” is destructive to local ecosystems and the larger planetary ecosystem. PRGT will disrupt and dirty currently clean salmon rivers, along with with many other disturbances to wildlife. Carbon emissions from burning the gas will heat up our planet and add to our emissions instead of reducing them.
- We need green infrastructure that builds each household’s power to net zero. Housing costs and affordability of living are rising. We need public money to go to projects for the public good, for a liveable future for all of us to the next seven generations.
Rescind the referral of Ksi Lisims and LNG Canada Phase 2 to the Major Projects Office to be considered as Projects of National Interest (PONIs);
Not fund nor subsidize nor otherwise in any way support KSI Lisims nor LNG Canada Phase 2; and
Instead refer Indigenous-owned, shovel ready, solar electric and other renewable energy projects to the Major Projects Office and fund these green PONIs and affordable housing with the Canada Infrastructure Bank and other public monies.
Step 3: Phone Your MP
Call and leave a message any time, day or night, for your MP. Let them know what you really think about using our taxpayer dollars for fossil fuels and direct them to use the Canada Infrastructure Bank and other federal banks for housing and renewable projects! Look up your MP's phone number via your postal code here: www.ourcommons.ca/members/en.

Step 4: Visit Your MP's Office
Visit your MP's office while grocery shopping, running errands, etc. and speak with their staff to tell them your concerns about using public money to fund dirty LNG projects and to instead urge them to invest in clean energy projects and housing! You can stop by without an appointment and they will listen to you! Look up the constituency office of your MP via your postal code here: www.ourcommons.ca/members/en.
Step 5: Training
Structured organizing has methods that support an organizing conversation and identify leaders who can move large numbers of people in your neighbourhood to take action.
Structured Organizing Workshop! You your neighbours working together can build power in your riding to win rights for clean energy and stop billionaire LNG projects! We held a workshop on May 23rd for a theory and practice on Structured Organizing, the method we use to build majorities in structure-based settings for successful campaigns. If you want to know more about how we do what we do and how you can even adapt the skills to your own projects, email us for a recording of the May 23rd workshop! We plan to hold another workshop soon, keep an eye on your email for more information!

Step 6: Group Actions
Talk with your neighbours! The way you and your neighbours build power together is through community and talking to each other. Talk to your neighbours about this campaign and your concerns about funding dirty LNG projects with public money! A group of constituents has more power to win a meeting than one individual. The next step is for you and your neighbours to build power with an in person petition to your MP in your local riding. Email us for support and resources and to ensure you're part of the network to build maximum power!
You can take action at your local MP's office! If you would like support in planning and organizing a group action at your MP's office, which has been a great way to get a meeting, email us!
