This month, Canada made history when LNG Canada shipped its first liquefied natural gas cargo to Asia. This is a significant step forward for Canada’s critical goal of diversifying our trading partners beyond the United States.
However, there are still limitless opportunities for us to continue diversifying our trade, thereby allowing us to secure our economic sovereignty.
One immediate opportunity is Ksi Lisims LNG, an up-and-coming export facility with the Nisga’a Nation as the leading proponent. The project offers substantial economic and strategic value for British Columbians, Indigenous Peoples, and Canadians, with an estimated 21,000 job opportunities to be created if it goes ahead [1]. Ksi Lisims LNG is also projected to generate $890 million in annual tax revenues to help pay for our schools, hospitals, roads, and social programs, and give a $2.5 billion boost in gross domestic product (GDP) for Canadians every year [1].
The Ksi Lisims LNG terminal is an essential part of BC’s natural gas strategy, which is creating thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of economic opportunities for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians alike [5].
