Globe says Enbridge sees Clark doubling down on LNG

2017-04-24 06:01 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that BC Liberal Leader Christy Clark last week blasted her New Democrat rivals for a platform that she said would kill the fledgling liquefied natural gas industry. The Globe's Justine Hunter writes that Ms. Clark is doubling down on LNG. Natural resource industries dominate the economy in the north, the interior and much of Vancouver Island. That makes up 32 of 87 seats in this election, and these are battlegrounds that neither the NDP nor the Liberals will ignore. During the 2013 campaign, a mid-campaign flip-flop proved disastrous for the party after then-leader Adrian Dix declared the party's opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline. Today the NDP is still hobbled by opposition to Enbridge rival's pipeline project. The town of Kitimat has seen a short-lived boom as LNG proponents prepared the groundwork for facilities that may yet be built. Kitimat resident Elizabeth MacDonald says the promise of LNG has made a significant difference in the region. New Democrat Jennifer Rice concedes voters are divided over the prospects of LNG, but she says the Liberals are misleading when they assert the NDP would shut it down.
