Public finance must align with climate science, human rights, and community health. Expanding methane-intensive LNG without a full health review isn’t compatible with those responsibilities.

Meanwhile, four LNG projects have been referred to Ottawa’s major projects office seeking “national interest” status, which could fast-track construction and unlock new federal public financing without adequate health protections.

Physicians and nurses practising in northern British Columbia warn that significant human health impacts are already occurring across the LNG supply chain in the province. They report seeing more patients struggling with asthma, heart problems and other illnesses linked to polluted air.

Among Liberal–NDP swing voters, support is even higher — nearly 80% want stronger methane rules.
And close to 9 in 10 want urgent action on health-related climate risks.

Why methane?
Because cutting methane is one of the fastest, cheapest, and most effective ways to prevent:
– asthma attacks
– heart disease
– premature deaths from polluted air

Health and climate wins go hand in hand.

When it comes to methane (a dangerous driver of smog, air pollution, and climate change) the public is even more decisive. ➡️ 64.5% support stronger regulations on oil & gas methane emissions reduction. That’s more than 4 to 1 compared to those opposed.
