Obsessed with the faux climate crisis, the Canadian government in Ottawa seemingly discounts altogether the social and economic benefits of natural gas to First Nations communities of the country’s western region.

We’re constantly told fossil fuel use is causing an existential climate crisis, extreme weather, worsening wildfires, and more frequent and intense hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts. Actual temperature, storm, and other records provide no support for these claims. They certainly don’t back up ludicrous assertions that burning coal, oil, and natural gas – and even human
