Any day now, the BC government could force a final vote on a massive handout to big oil. ^[1]

The Horgan government is working in lock-step with the BC Liberals to ram through massive tax breaks to bribe more dirty LNG projects to set up shop in BC -- which would mean more fracking, more poisoned water, and more global warming pollution.

We can’t let them go through with this. A massive backlash now, before the bill is finalized, could be enough to force John Horgan to reconsider this disastrous plan -- but it needs to be huge.

If we flood every single BC MLA with messages calling on them to speak out against these LNG handouts, they’ll start raising concerns with Premier John Horgan. If we cause a big enough splash, it could be enough to force him to reconsider.

But the bill could go for a final vote any day now, so we need to act quickly. Will you send a message to your MLA now, calling on them to stop the the LNG handouts?

Dear MLA,

I am writing to urge you to oppose the additional tax breaks for the LNG industry being proposed in Bill 10, the Income Tax Amendment Act 2019. I know the bill will go to a final vote soon, and as your constituent, I urge you to do everything in your power to stop these reckless LNG tax breaks.

This government promised to make BC a leader on climate action, and I support the Clean BC plan that has been developed. But incentivizing fracking and the rapid export of BC gas goes directly against that plan, and will increase carbon emissions in our province.

I’m sure you’ve seen the report that came out this week stating that Canada is warming at at least twice the rate of the rest of the world from human-caused climate change. Several forest fires are already ablaze in BC, and it’s only April. What our province needs right now is bold climate policy -- not increased carbon emissions.

I urge you to speak out against these reckless LNG tax breaks, and ensure our government follows through with the Clean BC plan.

Thank you,
