Using LNG for shipping will hurt the Arctic, not help it

When it’s burned, LNG produces less carbon dioxide than conventional fuels; however, significant leaks of unburned methane in both the extraction and use of LNG is causing serious damage to the climate.

There’s no question that shipping emissions are a huge and growing problem, accounting for roughly three per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, but LNG is not the answer, writes Erin Abou-Abssi. Photograph courtesy of Flickr/Axel Drainville

In 1988, then-prime minister Brian Mulroney, pictured in Ottawa in 2019, and Art Miki, then-president of the National Association of Japanese Canadians, confronted difficult circumstances, overcame them, and achieved a redress agreement that helped build a more just society, writes Kanji Yamanouchi, Japan's ambassador to Canada.

Lessons from history: Art Miki’s journey toward justice

OpinionBY KANJI YAMANOUCHI
  • Thirty-seven years have now passed since the announcement of the Japanese Canadian Redress Agreement. It is easy for past events to fade into obscurity yet this history must be passed on to the next generation.
