The grocery store parking lots with work trucks bearing bumper stickers proclaim love for Canadian pipelines. The highway becomes a stream of pickups, their orange safety flags tower above the worksite for visibility — tucked down for travel. Outside a local hotel, vehicles assigned to a controversial RCMP unit tasked with policing opposition to industrial projects make up the trucks and SUVs flanking the building.

They’re all here because the Coastal GasLink pipeline is being built to connect underground shale gas formations in the province’s northeast with marine shipping routes on the Pacific coast, about 120 kilometers from Smithers as the crow flies. Until recently, there was only one liquefaction and export facility preparing to receive the gas — now there are two.

In mid-March, B.C.’s NDP government approved Cedar LNG, a partnership between the Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corporation. The pending final investment decision, the liquefaction and export terminal would be built over the tidal waters of Douglas Channel across from the Haisla village of Kitamaat, just a few kilometers from LNG Canada. Cedar LNG would export three million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) annually, about 30 percent of what its larger neighbor plans to ship when it starts operations in 2026. Like LNG Canada, it would receive its supply from Coastal GasLink.

Premier David Eby and Haisla elected chief councilor Crystal Smith announced the decision at a press conference on March 14, “an unprecedented opportunity for both Haisla Nation and the region.”

“Today’s announcement marks a historic milestone for Cedar LNG and the Haisla Nation’s journey towards economic self-determination,” Smith said in a statement. “Together with our partner, Pembina Pipeline, we are setting a new standard for responsible and sustainable energy development that protects the environment and our traditional way of life.”

Hot on the heels of the announcement, the province said it is developing new regulations for the oil and gas sector, including an emissions cap and a requirement that all new projects have a “credible plan” to reach net zero by 2030. For example, Ksi Lisims, a proposed liquefaction facility on Nisga’a territory, now needs to include an emissions reduction plan as part of its environmental assessment.

But the rule doesn’t apply to the newly approved project. Instead, the Haisla Nation is signing a memorandum of understanding with the province to explore opportunities for emissions reductions beyond its approved plan.

“Already proposed to be one of the lowest-emitting facilities in the world, we will be working in partnership to further reduce the project’s emissions,” Eby said.

Critics and climate activists decry B.C.’s approval of another gas export terminal, while supporters applaud the decision as an act of reconciliation. Meanwhile, energy analysts cautiously approved the province’s plan to implement new policies and regulations but question how effective they will be at curbing emissions from already approved projects.

Cedar LNG’s approval was announced less than a week before the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published its latest report, which warns the decisions governments to make this decade “will have impacts now and for thousands of years.”

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres didn’t mince words in a video message released with the report, noting, “the rate of temperature rise in the last half-century is the highest in 2,000 years.” He called the document a “survival guide for humanity that guide should not approve or fund new oil and gas projects and stop expanding existing fossil fuel reserves.

“In short, our world needs climate action on all fronts — everything, everywhere, all at once,” Guterres fed from the contentious Coastal GasLink pipeline. According to documents filed with the B.C. environmental assessment office, the plant would emit around 8.6 megatonnes of equivalent carbon pollution over its 40-year lifespan. Upstream, the project would add an additional 39 megatonnes, about the same amount of emissions produced by putting 8.4 million cars on the road for a year or driving around the planet 12 million times.

The provincial approval is subject to 16 conditions, including developing an emissions reduction plan that aligns with climate goals. The plant will power its turbines with electricity supplied by Hydro, which minimizes — but doesn’t eliminate — emissions produced during the energy-intensive liquefaction process.

“Powered by renewable electricity and with plans to achieve near-zero emissions by 2030, Cedar LNG showcases what responsible resource development can look like as we transition to a clean-energy future,” Minister of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation Josie Osborne said in a statement.

According to industry analysis, liquefaction accounts for less than one-third of emissions produced by the gas sector. The rest is added to the atmosphere during extraction, pipeline transport, shipping, regasification, and combustion we track — invisible methane leaks at every step of the process are a problem industry operators and regulators grapple with worldwide.

George Heyman, B.C. minister of environment and climate change strategy, said the new energy framework and emissions cap played a prominent role in the project decision, which took 118 days, more than 60 days past the legislated deadline.

He described Cedar LNG as a relatively small and well-designed project “in terms of doing everything it can to minimize environmental and carbon impact — which is not to say it doesn’t have any” and noted the broader scope of emissions was considered in the approval.

“In my view, it is far more important to have a broad-reaching, sector-wide set of clear rules and regulations that demonstrate how we are going to steadily reduce emissions in the successive failure or credibility on the approval or failure to approve one or another project,” he told The Narwhal in an interview.

If all goes as planned, Cedar LNG would power up its turbines in 2027 and continue operating until 2067, close to two decades after the date 196 countries promised to get emissions down to zero in the Paris Agreement signed in 2015. In 2021, Canada enacted legislation that holds the federal government accountable for that commitment. That means pollution associated with the project, however small, will have to be offset.

As purchased by companies like Disney, Shell, and Gucci were “worthless.” Put another way, no greenhouse gases were prevented from entering the atmosphere corporations used the offsets to market their products as environmentally friendly.

Karena Shaw, a political ecologist and associate professor of environmental studies at the University of Victoria, worries the sector won’t be held accountable.

“What message is this decision sending out to the fossil fuel industry?” she said in an interview. “If we let the industry get away with a ‘credible plan’ to be net zero to lose. A credible plan to get to net zero could be just purchasing the cheapest offsets out there.”

Other methods of decreasing emissions produced by the gas sector include carbon capture reports noted this would be the most costly and least effective way to tackle the problem.

Cedar LNG went through a joint provincial-federal environmental assessment process and its stamp of approval one day after B.C. approved the project. But it’s unknown how the new emissions cap and other regulations like stricter methane rules will affect industry investment.

“There have not yet made final investment decisions,” Heyman noted. “They now know the rules are and can the University of British Columbia, told The Narwhal investors will be paying attention to “local regulatory uncertainty and the long-term outlook in the LNG market.”

He said Indigenous Rights and environmental mandates are the two main drivers of uncertainty in long overdue recognition of Indigenous interest through the [United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples] requirement on Free, Prior, and Informed Consent requires businesses to adapt,” he wrote in an email. “Most of the proposed LNG projects in B.C. have come to naught the choice to build in B.C. or natural gas firms will likely look first.”

Adam Olsen (SȾHENEP), a Green party representative and member of Tsartlip First Nation (WJOȽEȽP), said a “very optimistic person” would view the province’s new energy framework as a regulatory means to make B.C. oil and gas development uneconomical.

“What might come out at the other end of that emissions cap process is simply an unsustainable fossil fuel industry in this province,” he told The Narwhal in an interview.

He said others would argue the government used the framework and the memorandum of understanding which lack details — as a smokescreen for green-lighting another fossil fuel project.

“With so little detail on that energy action framework, it’s near impossible to actually determine to happen said the details will be released over the next few months, along with timelines on when changes will be implemented.

Getting a solid return on exporting B.C. gas to buyers across the Pacific has always been somewhat iffy years been this sort of back and forth around the sector in British Columbia,” she said to be the first to go when the market gets pinched.”

In early February, Calgary-based TC Energy announced a revised cost estimate for the Coastal GasLink pipeline of $14.5 billion, more than double its original estimate. That price, the pipeline operator said, could rise by another $1.2 billion if construction isn’t completed this year.

Antweiler said the International Energy Agency’s analysis of global gas demand forecasts either minimal growth or significant decreases, noting “investors will be reasonably cautious given these scenarios.”

“This said, energy security can still lead to regional expansions as the reliability of supply can play an important role, or if a carbon border adjustment mechanism introduced in the [European Union] requires buyers to shift from high-carbon-emission to low-carbon-emission sources.”

Shaw said companies are holding out for now, likely waiting to see what happens as the province develops its regulations and hoping governments will make investments of more than $5.4 billion in financial incentives to LNG Canada and commit to spending more than $700 million of taxpayer dollars to secure support from First Nations for the pipeline and the sector at large.

“If they get enough subsidies and support from the government, they can make something out of it,” she said backing is something Ellis Ross, Skeena MLA with the B.C. Liberals and a member of Haisla Nation would like to see.

“I sincerely hope Cedar LNG is granted similar tax breaks to those received by LNG Canada,” he said in a statement Haisla nation is no stranger to industrial development on its territories. Canada-based mining company Rio Tinto Alcan has operated its aluminum smelter in Kitimat for about 70 years in the coastal community and has seen the impacts of decades of commercial logging.

While the nation has financial agreements with LNG Canada and Coastal GasLink, economic benefits have been a byproduct of projects brought forward by outside parties. In contrast, Cedar LNG is hailed as Canada’s first Indigenous-led liquefied natural gas project. With majority ownership, the Haisla Nation is calling the shots.

“Today is about changing the course of history for my Indigenous Peoples everywhere in history, where Indigenous people were left on the sidelines of economic development in their territories,” Smith said at the announcement.

“I am extremely gratified that an initiative we worked on behalf of the Haisla people finally got the respect it deserves from the provincial government,” he said in a statement following the announcement.

Premier Eby said approving Cedar LNG doesn’t mean sacrificing the environment and that the dichotomy — the idea that you can only have economic development by abandoning environmental holding the environmental principles you have to give up on jobs and opportunities — is a false idea,” he said. “The future in British Columbia around major projects or projects involving land or resources need to be done in partnership with First Nations.”

But critics say there’s another false dichotomy embedded in the government’s actions. If economic reconciliation is only achieved through fossil fuel infrastructure, other economic opportunities for Indigenous communities are obscured or displaced. The narrative also ignores the root cause of economic inequity: colonization.

“The historical context of these issues is critically important to understanding the mechanisms by which colonization, genocide, land dispossession, and forced assimilation policies translate into the conditions of poverty that the Indigenous people experience today in B.C.,” a 2022 First Nations Leadership Council report on economic disparity noted.

“Indigenous revenue should not be fettered by a single project,” Olsen said. “It should be viewed as ‘How do we participate? How do Indigenous nations participate and benefit from their lands and territories without having to approve devastating climate-change-inducing projects?’ ”

The greenhouse gases emitted by projects like Cedar LNG have some Indigenous leaders speaking out against increased activity in the fossil fuel sector.

“I am worried about the warming planet and resulting climate emergency that is being driven globally by major industrial resource extraction,” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs, said in a statement. “The expansion of the LNG industry and associated fracking that was greenlit … is frightening when we think about how this will impact the lands and waters in this province and across the world.”

While Haisla and other nations in B.C. have historically for projects like Cedar LNG and the Coastal GasLink pipeline, not all Indigenous leaders are behind the industry. Notably, Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs oppose the Coastal GasLink project is being built on their territory without consent — a central tenet of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which was passed into law in B.C. in 2019.

“While they’re saying this is economic reconciliation for the Haisla, the pipeline is being dragged across other territories,” Olsen said. “There are huge amounts of challenges — $36 million is being spent on the RCMP protection of that pipeline against other Indigenous people.”

Premier Eby didn’t directly respond to a question about controversy and backlash over Coastal GasLink are going to have challenges along the way,” he told reporters.

Olsen said it’s important to note he’s not speaking against the Haisla by criticizing the framing of the decision and would like to see more options provided to Indigenous communities and for all governments — Indigenous and non-Indigenous — to speak openly.

“It shouldn’t be a zero-sum game for the Haisla,” he said. “It shouldn’t be that if the government doesn’t approve thistle economic development for them. We should be able to have an honest conversation about the fact that fossil fuels are increasing the climate emergency we’re facing and the hostility of the climate and this planet we live on.”

As temperatures continue to rise globally, ecosystems become increasingly uninhabitable for species. Extreme weather events — droughts, wildfires, heat domes, and atmospheric rivers — can take out entire fish or wildlife.

In B.C., the decline of keystone species like salmon has decades of industrial activity. Clearcut logging, hydroelectric facilities, mining, agriculture, and other human impacts have wreaked havoc on species and natural systems. In the northeast, where gas for Cedar LNG and other facilities is extracted, cumulative impacts were center stage in a landmark 2021 court ruling, which found the province guilty of infringing on Blueberry River First Nations’ Treaty Rights by permitting and encouraging widespread development.

“As we’ve seen from the Blueberry River case, there are limits to how much those landscapes can take,” Shaw, outlining a plan for how gas extraction on the territory will be managed moving forward. At the time, Premier Eby said the fossil fuel industry could continue digging as much gas out of the ground as companies could get their hands on just had to have a smaller footprint on the surface.

Now, with the emissions cap and energy framework further constraining the sector, it’s unclear how companies like energy company ARC Resources, which inked a deal with the Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corporation to provide 50 percent of Cedar LNG’s supply, will get the gas out of the ground, construction continues on Coastal GasLink.

“There are immediate, proximate impacts around extraction and the pipeline itself, but then there’s the broader contribution to climate change,” Shaw said. “There’s always the question of why this project starts saying no. This is what the gut punch is for me. We’re trying to say no everywhere — and this is part of everywhere.”

NDP leadership hopeful Anjali Appadurai promises 25% raise for nurses

Anjali Appadurai is promising sweeping changes to some healthcare services in the province if elected leader of the BC NDP in December. If she succeeds John Horgan as premier, she has promised to give nurses a 25 percent pay raise immediately and to replace urgent primary care centres with community health centres.

She also vowed to provide free and accessible counselling services across all health authorities. "As a lifelong New Democrat, I know that our party has a legacy of instigating visionary changes to improve the health of people and their communities, a legacy that can be traced all the way back to Tommy Douglas and the Saskatchewan Medical Care Insurance Act."

In a healthcare policy paper released Thursday, Appadurai also promised compensation increases for homecare and long-term care workers, including cost-of-living adjustments to prevent inflation from driving workers away. Appadurai is one of two candidates vying to replace Horgan, but her candidacy has not yet been approved by the BC NDP. Her campaign is currently under investigation due to concerns about membership sign-ups.

Members of the BC NDP executive are concerned the campaign is allowing a potential “hostile takeover,” encouraging BC Green Party members to quit their party just to vote for her.

Appadurai’s campaign said the policy paper was compiled after input from healthcare experts, frontline health workers, and those on the front lines of social movements.

The policy paper states that the new Community Health Centres will replace Urgent and Primary Care Centres (UPCC) and will provide urgent and extended-hours services.

"UPCCs have the infrastructure and funding, but don’t include the essential elements described above to provide the longitudinal and integrated care that communities need to access," the plan reads. "These CHCs could be governed by community boards or through a shared governance model, depending on the community context."

The plan also addresses what Appadurai describes as "the growing involvement of for-profit corporate entities in primary care." It states the government must ensure that major corporations providing health care services in B.C.—Telus, for example—are operating within the letter and spirit of B.C.’s Medicare Protection Act and the Canada Health Act.

“Corporations, which are profit-driven, have less ongoing responsibility for patients, which can divert more complex work to other primary care providers while also upselling patients on unnecessary treatments, profiting off patient data, and shifting doctors away from the public system,” it reads.

Additional promises from Appadurai’s healthcare plan include more resources to expand Indigenous-led, culturally-safe primary care services across the province and the immediate implementation of a safe supply regime to combat the toxic drug crisis. If she defeats challenger David Eby in the race, the paper states she would also ensure equitable access to health care for all, regardless of their immigration status.

Quick Review of the True Crime Books I Read in 2018 (Part 2)

Review of Books in 2018 Part 1

Review of books in 2017 Part 1 and Part 2

Review of books in 2016 Part 1 and Part 2

Review of books in 2015

In the Name of The Children by Jeffrey L. Rinek: This book was written by a retired FBI agent who worked a lot of cases involving child abuse and murder, so be aware that its contents are very disturbing. Much like John Douglas in Mindhunter, Rinek mixes his personal history with some of the cases he worked in when he was in the bureau, although his book offers less academic and actual crime information and a lot more emotional response and family life. This is not really a bad thing. Rinek is an interesting person, and he really shows the effect that working with cases like this can have in one’s mental health and close relationships. As for the cases themselves, they are all horrific and some more detailed than others. Probably the best one, because of the amount of information and detail, is the Yosemite Murders, which happens to be the only one that doesn’t involve actual children (the youngest victim was 15). Overall, a gripping read which might not be as insightful as other books written by former agents, but way more personal and raw.

Dark Dreams by Roy Hazelwood: Roy Hazelwood is probably one of the main experts in sexual crimes, and he was one of the top agents in the Behavioral Analysis Unit at the FBI (he sadly passed away in 2016). If you’ve ever read books involving some kind of predator, it’s not uncommon that the cops went to him for his advice regarding profiles. Again, this is another John Douglas type of book in which he goes through some of the cases of his career in the agency, although in contrast to In the Name of Children, this has almost no personal information about Hazelwood himself. That means this book is purely concerned with identifying different types of sex crimes and criminals by giving real life examples. It’s very academical and informative and a fairly easy read (because of the narration style, the subject is as dire as you’d expect). My only issue is that he never goes in detail into the cases and most of the time won’t even mention the names of the victims or the perpetrators, which annoys me because it makes it hard to look up more information. But still, a worthy read for true crime enthusiasts who want to understand more what goes into this sort of cases.

Burned Alive by Kieran Crowley: This books details the murder of Kim Antonakos, who in 1995 was kidnapped for ransom and left with no food, water or warmth in a basement for three days before she was set on fire. It provides a lot of information I didn’t know about the case and it’s a good account of how things went down in the investigation and trial. I don’t like though that the writer decided to write a full passage telling us what Kim was feeling and thinking while she was in that basement, because there’s no way to know that’s true and when you insert that kind of thing in a serious, non fictional book it always throws me off. It’s also quite evident that a lot of the information came from one of the men accused in the kidnapping, Julio Negron, who was the one who made a deal with police and testified against the other killers in their trials in exchange for a more lenient sentence. Apparently he was the only one willing to give his version of the story to Crowley, so I would take some of the things presented here with a grain of salt.

Blood Justice by Tom Henderson: Do you ever read a book and completely forget it soon after you finish it? That happened to me with this one, which is obviously not a good sign. The case it talks about is very compelling: two murders, six years apart, committed by the same perpetrator. One was Margarette Eby, a music teacher savagely killed in her home in 1985. Then, flight attendant Nancy Ludwig was rape, butchered and tortured in a Detroit hotel in 1991. It took a really long time and a lot of effort from police to finally get enough evidence to arrest their murderer. The book has plenty of details about the case, the victims and the killer to satisfy the reader, I think the problem to me is that the narrative falls flat most of the time. This book has a structure problem that takes away all of the suspense, and also the author failed to really give us a good character to focus on, which happens a lot in true crime books about long winded investigations. But it is a fairly unknown case, so you might want to give this a try.

I: The Creation of a Serial Killer by Jack Olsen: This novel is about serial killer Keith Hunter Jesperson, also known as “The Happy Face Killer” because he had the tendency to draw smiley faces in the letters he sent to the media. Jack Olsen, an award winner journalist, makes the bold choice of writing some of the chapters in first person, as Jesperson. At first I was a little put off by this, because as you know, I’m a bit of a purist when it comes to non fiction, but I have to admit, those chapters are very gripping and really give you a glimpse into the workings of a very twisted mind. Most of what’s written in first person was culled from interviews Olsen had with Jesperson, so I’m sure he got the tone, the wording and the train of thought right. These chapters follow the actual murders and crimes committed by Jesperson, and they are interjected with more common third-person narrative and newspaper article style writing about the biography of Jesperson and what was going on with the investigation. It was a very interesting read, although you do have to be prepared to put up with a very sick individual pouring his thoughts, indirectly, on the page.

The Anatomy of Motive by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker: As usual, an excellent food for thought from one of the masters of crime analysis. John Douglas really knows how to pick cases to analyze and give you the right balance of information and opinion. In this case, as you can tell from the title, he wanders into the motive behind several crimes with very clear examples. This book reminds us that motive is probably the main mystery we always want to solve in any case. Even when we know the culprit, if we don’t understand the motive there’s always something very unsatisfying about its resolution. Douglas offers us a glimpse of his own thinking about some complicated cases, including Andrew Cunanan’s killing spree and the still unsolved Tylenol murders, among many others. Recommended.

Resources For Multipotentialite Business Owners

Being multi-passionate or a multipotentialite is having numerous interests and imaginative pursuits that can support you in service for yourself.

Emilie Wapnick explains even more: "Multipotentialites have no 'one true calling' the way specialists do.

"Being a multipotentialite is our destiny. We have lots of courses and we pursue all of them, either sequentially or simultaneously (or both).

"Multipotentialites grow on knowing, checking out, and mastering new skills. We are excellent at bringing diverse concepts together in innovative ways. This makes us unbelievable innovators and problem solvers."

Identity and Creating

Engaging in a creative venture often brings up questions and uncertainties related to personal identity: Am I qualified? Do I have enough experience, strength, talent, skill? Will the work be good enough? Will I be good enough?

Creative expression is based on both our inner selves and our abilities, so maybe it is inevitable we question both our self concept and talents.

But our insecurities and doubts may not be just a matter of objective competence. For example, two actors noted for being able to create distinctive and powerful characters have made revealing comments about their own identities. The late Peter Sellers once said, “If you ask me to play myself, I will not know what to do. I do not know who or what I am.” And Jennifer Jason Leigh has claimed, “As a person, I don’t really register that much. Director Robert Altman says that as a person I disappear in a way.”

Feelings about identity can drive creative projects. Painter Laura Molina says on her website, “I feel the need to assert my identity in the most militant way possible… As an educated, native-born, English-speaking, fifth generation Mexican-American and a feminist, there is almost no reflection of me in the movies or television, which is almost as bad as being stereotyped.”

Stifling a need to create, on the other hand, can leave “a small hole in the fabric of our self-esteem” as Gloria Steinem puts it. Not creating can also be a path to depression, according to psychologist Eric Maisel among others.

Saying we “can’t” write, paint, perform on stage, develop a new medical test or create in some other way is in effect not giving ourselves “permission.”

The sense of inability may be based on some outside standard of what a “real” creative person is, or relates to being a “failure” at doing something creative. Getting beyond or “bypassing” intellectual restrictions on our creativity can be a matter of shifting one’s attitudes and unrealistic standards.

This idea of an outside authority for what we must be in order to create can be potently self-limiting. Almost any craft or artform has some collection of criteria for what makes it work, what makes it good. But creative people in any field often bend or even break those rules.

The common feeling of being a fraud, inadequate, an impostor, is something many of us have experienced to some degree in trying to realize our creative talents.

Director Jane Campion, esteemed for “The Piano” and other films, has admitted, “I never have had the confidence to approach filmmaking straight on. I just thought it was something done by geniuses, and I was very clear that I wasn’t one of those.”

It may be especially challenging for someone who has gained esteem, acknowledgment and identity in a field not considered “creative” when they want to pursue a more recognizably creative project.

But it isn’t just a matter of self-concept; there are social pressures that can make defining our identity difficult. Creativity coach Dave Storer, one of the contributors to the book “Inspiring Creativity” (edited by Rick Benzel), writes that “most people in our culture will not let you easily claim a creator’s identity. They will push against you and demand ‘proof’ of your creative talent.”

He counsels to keep working at your chosen project anyway, and over time you will become comfortable with your identity, because it “comes from the doing of it.”

Maybe our sense of identity is always fluid, and always unfinished. Many artists have commented that creating is not only a way to express their unique self to others, but is also a means to more fully understand and define who they are to themselves.
