About the backgrounder:
This backgrounder is an updated version of our November 2025 backgrounder on the poor business case for LNG. It provides an analysis of the issues with Canada's growing LNG export industry, Public funding should not be allocated to LNG development as it represents a transfer of taxpayer resources to private corporate profits, particularly benefiting foreign companies in an already mature and oversupplied global market where Canadian projects face competitive disadvantages. Such subsidies would burden Canadians with both environmental and economic costs while diverting limited public funds away from initiatives that could provide genuine benefits to citizens, especially considering that the LNG industry's projected economic returns are likely overestimated while environmental impacts and electricity costs are undervalued.
