"Clean" LNG is a dirty lie
April 18, 2026

Minister of Energy and (cough) "Climate Solutions," Adrian Dix, says BC will produce "the world's lowest-emission LNG." Premier David Eby, says BC's gas is the “lowest-carbon LNG in the world.”
But "clean LNG" is a dirty lie. Want proof?
LNG Canada flared more gas in 2025 than any other LNG export terminal in the world in 2024, flaring almost one million cubic metres of gas a day on average. The extreme flaring from LNG Canada is raising questions about the ongoing human health impacts for Kitimat residents.
How will air pollution from Woodfibre LNG's flarestack impact communities in Howe Sound? What does it mean if Woodfibre LNG triples its capacity? How is air pollution from Tilbury LNG affecting Vancouver residents?
Attend a community forum near you to find out...
On behalf of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE BC), the Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment (CANE), Lax'yip Firekeepers, and My Sea to Sky, we would like to invite you to attend a community forum to learn about the human health impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) development in BC.
Doctors and nurses will share the latest research on the threats that LNG development poses for public health and BC’s healthcare system, especially in rural and Indigenous communities. Residents will share their firsthand experience in Kitimat where excess flaring by LNG Canada is affecting the health and wellbeing of community members.
At a time when many British Columbians are looking for credible, accessible information about the health implications of fossil fuel expansion, we believe it is important to create opportunities for dialogue grounded in public health expertise and frontline community experience.
Key speakers:
- Dr Tim Takaro, Professor Emeritus at Simon Fraser University, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment
- Dr Melissa Lem, Family Doctor and Past President of Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (Vancouver only)
- Ankur Patel, Kitimat Acute Care Nurse, Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment
- Lax'yip Firekeepers
