Should Canada fast-track the construction of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) terminals to export energy to allies?

  Party’s support baseNo

Annie Ohana’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT Party Research

Very strongly agree

No, it locks us into carbon emissions for decades.

This aligns closely with NDP climate messaging: new LNG terminals and upstream expansion would lock in emissions and infrastructure for decades, conflicting with Paris-aligned targets and the party’s repeated calls to cap and cut oil-and-gas emissions.

Strongly agree

No, it violates Indigenous rights and damages ecosystems.

The NDP frequently foregrounds Indigenous rights, UNDRIP, and environmental protection in resource decisions; they have criticized projects proceeding without robust consent/consultation and raised concerns about ecosystem impacts from major energy infrastructure.

Strongly agree

No, focus on green alternatives like wind, solar, and nuclear.

The NDP consistently advocates scaling up renewables and other low-carbon power and electrification; they would agree with prioritizing green alternatives over LNG, though the party’s emphasis is more on renewables/efficiency than explicitly on nuclear.

Agree

No

While not uniformly anti-gas, the federal NDP’s climate platform and past positions lean against new large fossil infrastructure; they have emphasized emissions reductions and a transition away from oil and gas rather than accelerating LNG buildout.

Slightly disagree

Yes, create jobs and generate billions in tax revenue.

The NDP prioritizes jobs, but typically argues for job creation via clean-energy/just-transition investments rather than relying on LNG expansion; they often contest industry claims about long-run fiscal benefits when weighed against climate costs.

Disagree

Yes, replace dirty dictator oil with ethical Canadian energy.

The NDP is less likely to frame LNG as “ethical Canadian energy” replacing “dictator oil,” and more likely to stress climate impacts and demand-side transition; they have criticized rhetoric used to justify new fossil projects on geopolitical grounds.

Disagree

Yes

The NDP generally opposes expanding fossil-fuel export infrastructure and has criticized fast-tracking major oil-and-gas projects as inconsistent with climate goals (e.g., opposition to Trans Mountain expansion and calls to end fossil-fuel subsidies).
