LNG is fraught, the economics daunting. True.
Since 2014 have we (climate side) offered the Nisga’a something better? A faster/better path to our living standards? No.
We let them build this, and with NCTL crowd so many RE projects on their plate, that they turn down all other FF projects.

The Nisga’a — who like most/all First Nations have suffered racism, privation and cultural genocide — have been working on that LNG project since 2014.
White settlers on unceded territory saying, “no, you only get to do economic development we approve of”, is a really bad look.
