Help support the 16,400 Canadians working in this industry today!
The NCC sent a letter to the Alberta Coal Policy Committee expressing NCC support for metallurgical coal mining in Alberta. NCC believe this industry will provide our First Nation communities with long-term employment, training, business opportunities and community investment. NCC believe that coal operations developed in Alberta will protect our environment and our water. Join us in this support effort – send an email to the coal policy committee at [email protected] telling them that you support Alberta’s Met Coal Mining Industry!

Great article by our friend, Michael Binnion! The devastation of our economy has to be stopped!!
BINNION: Canada’s economic policy must be built on more than hope
Let’s keep the fight going for our oil and gas industry. Support the Canadian Energy Centre!
Canada, the world’s fourth largest producer of natural gas, could become an attractive supplier of liquified natural gas (LNG) to the region due to its competitive advantages, including lower shipping costs to Asian countries and reduced liquification costs due to Canada’s cooler climate.
Natural gas is one of the world’s fastest growing energy sources, representing 23% of Global Energy Demand, according to the IEA;
In most years since 2000, average natural gas prices in Asia have been higher than in Canada, and since 2009 that gap has ranged between 122% and 775% more in Asia than Canada, depending on the year;
Western Canadian natural gas has a cost advantage over other LNG exporting countries like Qatar, Australia and the U.S. Gulf Coast as its lower temperatures help lower liquification costs;
Shipping costs to Japan from Canada are estimated at between 99 cents and $1.09 per million BTU compared to $1.50 and $1.54 per million BTU from Qatar, and between $2.40 and $2.45 from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico;
Canada’s West Coast is closer to Japan’s primary ports by thousands of kilometres compared to Qatar.
Enbridge’s Line 3 is supported by U.S. Tribal Nations!! Why doesn’t the media report on the facts!!
Enbridge: Check your facts, Forbes: Our Line 3 replacement is built on Indigenous engagement
Support the Canadian Energy News Network! Together, we can save our oil and gas industry!!!
Not all First Nations support UNDRIP, and want more engagement
