#LNG : Not in Our National Interest National Campaign Launch 📅 Tuesday, March 31, 2026 🕓 4:00 PM PT/ 7:00 PM ET 📍 Zoom Webinar https://act.stand.earth/s/4775242/6bS5o8MM [ We’re in pretty wild times right now. In the midst of global turmoil and another oil war, our Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing hard to fast-track new fossil fuel megaprojects. Foreign investors are pitching LNG exports as an economic cure-all for Canada. But if LNG is such an economic engine, why do they need billions of our public dollars? That’s why we’re starting a new national campaign to pressure Prime Minister Carney and his key ministers to stop the government from giving billions more of our taxpayer money to dirty energy megaprojects that mostly benefit foreign billionaires. We want the government to start to fund the clean, renewable economy instead You’ll hear from movement leaders and experts to learn why these foreign-owned, high-cost projects will raise energy prices at home and harm Indigenous reconciliation. Showcasing how much better the clean, renewable economy is on every measure. We’ll also share details of exciting in-person actions happening across the country for the Week of Action in mid-April. This is our chance to tell the Carney government that Canadians say NO to more free money for big polluters, and YES to funding the clean energy economy.] #CDNPoli #BCpoli #EndFossilFuels #CleanEnergyNow #ClimateAction #StopCorporateWelfare #NoSubsidiesForLNG #StandEarth #OneEarth #Canada #MarkCarney #Environmental #StopEcocide #AbolishLobbyists #RealBadDeal #UNDRIP #Landback #CapitalismKills #DirtyDeals #FuckCarney #MakePollutersPay #EcoJustice #Canadians #Climate
