QuickQuotes: Supporters, detractors weigh in on Pacific Northwest LNG decision
VANCOUVER — Malaysian national energy company Petronas announced Tuesday it was walking away from the Pacific NorthWest LNG project, a massive liquefied natural gas development that was to be built in British Columbia. While the project received federal government approval, it also faced opposition from some First Nations and an environmental group that sought to squash the go-ahead in the courts.
Here is what some people had to say about it:
———
“NDP comes to office in B.C., Petronas immediately cancels its $30B LNG investment, 1 of the largest planned foreign investments in CDN history… NDP politicians want huge, endless increases in government spending, but oppose & drive away the industries that can help pay for it.” — Jason Kenney, who is running to be the leader of the newly formed United Conservative Party in Alberta, in a series of tweets.
