The problem is that there are lots of factors in making long-term investment decisions like this. And having a government who wants to increase carbon taxes, provide more revenue sharing with first nations, and whose members have been totally anti-LNG (along with the Greens) is certainly one of those factors.

Governments need to be proponents of such projects if they want them to go ahead. If the NDP had done this and made the pathway to completion and operation easier, instead of way more difficult, we may have seen a different story, or at least a deferral for now. 

That Petronus said a firm NO, shortly after the NDP/ Greens managed to steal government, is telling to most people. I doubt that it is just the current LNG price involved in their decision - it is death by a thousand cuts.
