This is not true in the slightest. Beyond the fact that the government went so far as to buy a pipeline to ensure added capacity for Alberta oil sands development, they've been enormously supportive of LNG development in BC, approving many projects and recently going so far as to give a $500M loan toward a project. https://www.ipolitics.ca/news/crown-corp-loans-500-million-for-lng-project-despite-government-promise-to-end-oil-and-gas-financing https://www.ipolitics.ca/news/crown-corp-loans-500-million-f...

Please stop spreading lies and FUD. The pipeline buyout was too little too late after the government stalled and delayed permits over never-ending environmental assessments. All in all, the projected cost of capital flight exceeds $30 billion CAD (the article is from 2019): https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/the-30-billion-exodus-foreign-oil-firms-are-bailing-on-canadas-energy-sector https://financialpost.com/commodities/energy/the-30-billion-... The government has openly committed to ending all funding for fossil fuels in 2024: https://www.iisd.org/articles/insight/ending-canada-support-fossil-fuels https://www.iisd.org/articles/insight/ending-canada-support-...

    > the courts enforced legislation enacted by the Liberal government. There you go, the truth will set you free.

      The legislation almost completely predates the current government. Much of it comes from the Harper government who had to rework environmental legislation because the courts forced them too.
