GNL Québec is the largest fossil fuel project in Québec’s recent history. It is a fight the size of the one we led against the Energy East pipeline, a fight to which we need to bring the same energy. It’s also an additional controversial mega project to add to the list of polluting projects across Canada  (such as TMX, Coastal GasLink, etc.) that have no place in a green and just recovery!

Let’s not forget that GNL Québec includes a pipeline that would cut through Québec and parts of Ontario. It is aimed at exporting liquified gas from Western Canada to international markets. Financed by American interests, it plans (1) the construction of an over 780 km long pipeline to be called Gazoduq crossing the Abitibi region to Saguenay, (2) the construction of a plant to be called Énergie Saguenay which would be built to liquefy this gas as well as a (3) maritime terminal to export it internationally by supertankers via the Saguenay Fjord. 

You have to say #GNLNonMerci because this project will simply : 

  • worsen the climate crisis with estimated emissions of 50 MT of CO2 for its full cycle, the equivalent of 10 million new cars on Quebec roads each year.
  • the pipeline Gazoduq will cut through the habitat of 17 endangered animal species.
  • open the door to at least 300 transits of supertankers carrying LNG per year in the heart of the critical habitat of the endangered St. Lawrence beluga whale.
  • transport liquefied natural gas on the Saguenay Fjord Seaway, which poses risks to the safety of riverside communities.

In spite of all this, the Québec government continues to support the project and has even opened the door to financing it! The project also brings its share of political and fiscal challenges and controversies.

The GNL Québec pipeline project will result in the équivalant of 10 million new cars on our roads every year. I say NO, because we are in a climate crisis and we deserve better. Join me:
