LNG Canada’s facility in Kitimat, B.C., burned more than 1.7 million cubic metres of gas on a single day in September.
While that day was an outlier, documents obtained through a freedom of information request reveal the facility consistently burned 15 times more gas per day than expected.

This voicemail prompts a number of questions, but one of the top ones for me is how does the Premier of Ontario not have anything better to do with his time than call people up at night and leave passive aggressive voicemails?

The #DougFord gov has repeatedly shown an inability to get anything off the ground when it comes to righting pressing issues. Too many corporate interests are getting in the way--especially in #housing, where builders have no desire for surplus because then prices go down. #cdnpoli #Ontario #Canada
