Stance on Climate Change
August 31, 2022
Stewart Muir and Resource Works managing director Margareta Dovgal wrote at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute that natural resource development and “Capital formation” would be elements in adapting to climate change:20“The coming energy crisis: How did things get so bad, so fast? Stewart Muir and Margareta Dovgal for Inside Policy,” Macdonald-Laurier Institute, August 31, 2022. Archived November 30, 2022. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/REO1l
“A poor, weak, irrelevant country can’t reduce emissions, adapt to climate change, defend its borders or invest in healthcare, education and reconciliation,” they wrote.
“Natural resources are not incidental to our exceptional quality of life. They are the foundation. They are the way to ensure a future for Canada where we all thrive, combat climate change, develop high-impact science and technology exports, and make a better world possible.”
September 23, 2021
“Renewables prophesizers who talk excitedly about their plans to collapse Western Canada’s oil and gas sector as part of a “just transition” are detached from what is really going on globally. Though it might seem counterintuitive at times, getting LNG to market is the best climate policy that Canada can pursue if it wants to make a difference in the world while prospering at home,” Muir wrote in an article at Alaska Highway News.21Stewart Muir. “Why skyrocketing natural gas prices power B.C.’s LNG prospects,” Alaska Highway News, September 23, 2021.

Key Quotes
April 8, 2021
“[M]ost Canadians connect the dots between the high quality of life they enjoy, and the natural resource sector that remains in 2021 an economic driver we cannot do without,” Stewart Muir said of a poll commissioned by Resource Works and the Task Force for Real Jobs, Real Recovery.22“Resource Works: Four out of Five Canadians Say Natural Resources Are Good for the Economy,” Bloomberg, April 8, 2021. Archived December 6, 2021. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/rdbEv
“Continued use and development of natural resources will generate good jobs, provide government revenues and result in innovations that reduce their climate impact,” he said.
October 17, 2019
Muir wrote at the Times Colonist that BC mayors and counsellors’ decision to reject suing fossil fuel companies was an example of “practicality and good sense”:23Stewart Muir. “Island Voices: Victoria councillor ignores voters and common sense,” Times Colonist, October 27, 2019, Archived December 7, 2022. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/AAZnE
“At September’s Union of B.C. Municipalities meeting, the annual convention of municipal mayors and councillors, these leaders delivered a three-part win for the cause of common sense: First, the idea of suing fuel companies was soundly rejected. Secondly, a motion from Port Moody calling on the B.C. government to enact legislation expediting climate lawsuits was defeated. Thirdly, Victoria withdrew a motion calling for a class-action lawsuit by B.C. municipalities.,” Muir wrote.
“Instead, by a two-to-one margin, B.C. elected municipal officials approved a motion from Interior towns and cities stating climate lawsuits are ‘an inappropriate direction for B.C. communities’ and calling for a collaborative approach to the very real challenges of climate change. Practicality and good sense won the day.”
However, Muir criticized one counsellor—Ben Isitt—for not “letting it go.”
“Launching lawsuits against oil and gas companies will do nothing to take on climate change. It is a feel-good PR exercise about winning points with voters that will stall climate-change action for years. It also ignores that they rely on oil and gas to operate their cities,” Muir added.
May 1, 2019
Muir wrote the following in an opinion article at The Globe and Mail favourable to the establishment of an energy “War Room” in Alberta:24Stewart Muir.”Look to Venezuela for why Alberta’s Canadian energy ‘war room’ is needed,” The Globe and Mail, May 1, 2019. Archived December 7, 2022. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/QElWW
“When the new government in Alberta speaks of an assertive, “war room” approach to communicating the province’s interests and countering biased criticisms, it’s fair to ask, who can blame them? Everything else has been tried. For the good of the environment and Canadian economic health, the task of standing strong cannot commence soon enough.
“Too many people fail to appreciate Canada represents the good guys in the international oil business. Our product is ethical, our workers are well treated, law and environmental rules followed, and Canadian families benefit directly from oil sales. Too few of the world’s top oil exporters can say the same, and certainly not Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Russia or Venezuela.”
May 29, 2018
“Although you might not know it from outbursts in the media of late, salmon farming is one of the greenest and most sustainable rural industries that British Columbia has going for it,” Muir wrote in an opinion article at The Province.25“Stewart Muir: Salmon farming has a key role to play in protecting wild fish,” The Province, May 29, 2018. Archived December 7, 2022.
“It is peculiar that a beneficial endeavour like salmon farming is facing some vocal opposition rather than being celebrated as a home-grown success story.”
Key Actions
November 23, 2022
Stewart Muir appeared in a video by former BC Proud spokesman Aaron Gunn where Gunn advocates for the continued logging of old-growth forests in BC.26“Last Stand: The War for BC’s Old Growth Forests,” Facebook video by Aaron Gunn, November 23, 2022. Archived .mp4 on file at DeSmog.
According to Gunn, BC’s forestry industry has “been under attack by activists, protestors, and even our own government.”
Muir appears at 10:54 in the video:
“Forestry accounts for about one third of BC’s goods exports. It’s a huge amount,” Muir told Gunn.
Resource Works had published an article in February 2022 alleging bias of “narrow interest groups” who opposed logging in an Old Growth Technical Advisory Panel.27“How a blatantly biased forestry panel steered toward a crucial outcome,” Resource Works, February 7, 2022. Archived November 30, 2022. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/tgqGT
“First Nations governments, along with industry, labour, community groups and public interest advocacy voices like Resource Works, were completely excluded from the process while a clique of groups that uniformly oppose logging were given privileged inside access to the panel and its process,” Resource Works wrote.
August 31, 2022
Resource Works executive director Stewart Muir and its managing director Margareta Dovgal co-wrote an article for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute‘s Inside Policy publication focusing on Natural resources as the “foundation…to our exceptional quality of life.”28Stewart Muir and Margareta Dovgal. “The coming energy crisis: How did things get so bad, so fast? Stewart Muir and Margareta Dovgal for Inside Policy,” Macdonald-Laurier Institute, August 31, 2022. Archived November 30, 2022. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/aPGnK
Muir and Dovgal suggested the idea that fossil fuels “will vanish from our energy system in 20 years or less” is “an absurd belief if you consider the hard evidence” and that it “has been a source of votes for political candidates taking up the banner of radical energy transition.”
They also promote hydrogen as a “promising opportunity,” adding, “We ourselves are part of a team developing a project to produce competitively priced green hydrogen using a pioneering, proven process.”
“Nonetheless it remains the responsible development of existing, commercially-deployable-right-now, high-value assets in energy that positions Canada to invest in clean tech.”
“Alberta’s energy patch is leaner today, with a renewed determination to succeed in the new, low-emissions world. Oil companies are going into the carbon-management business. Not just companies but also governments, small business owners, workers and First Nations with their own economic aspirations are seeing the writing on the wall: only with greatly improved environmental performance can this story continue,” they wrote.
“Capital formation for innovation and decarbonization requires real commercial viability and an enabling regulatory regime. Why would anyone ever invest in building these (speculative) things in Canada when we can’t even get the existing goods to market? Why invest in Canada’s energy future, when we can’t even project confidence on the present opportunities?”
March 14, 2022
Muir appeared on The Nemeth Report on an episode titled “ENGO Protest & Violence: Is it getting worse?“29“Season 2 Episode 3 — ENGO Protest & Violence: Is it getting worse?

Archived December 2, 2022. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/lLIIA
Nemeth’s contribution to the Inquiry claimed a “transnational progressive movement” is attempting to overthrow the “modern western industrial capitalist society” by infiltrating institutions such as the United Nations and the World Bank, universities and corporations, CBC News reported.32Janet French. “Alberta inquiry commissioner Steve Allan donated 9 months of work, report says,” CBC News, May 13, 2022. Archived December 2, 2022. Archive URL: https://archive.ph/TUAud
According to the episode description, Nemeth spoke to Muir on “the ongoing and escalating environmental activism and violence against resource development projects in British Columbia.”
January 20, 2022
Stewart Muir discussed the environmental movement in BC as a “threat” to investment, claiming coordination on environmental lobbying as part of a “Grand Coalition.”33Stewart Muir. “Meet the grand coalition,” Resource Works. Archived December 1, 2022.
Resource Works wrote:
“In several cases, the coalition agenda is sprawling and the distinguishing features aren’t immediately evident. Four broad themes are at work. Each constitutes some kind of threat to investment intentions, the health of rural communities, and a successful economy that benefits all British Columbia residents:
1. Land use in general
2. Maritime activities
3. Climate policies
4. Specific projects and industries”
Muir claims “the Grand Coalition has been incredibly successful in creating and controlling propaganda vehicles,” and names media outlets The Narwhal and National Observer. He contrasts this with what he describes as the “pro-economy coalition” that “has benefited from limited but consistent support from some corners of legacy news organizations where journalism as it was once defined is still practiced.”
May 20, 2021
Stewart Muir wrote a chapter of a Resource Works report on “forest conservation.” The report was titled “Forestry in BC: Setting the Record Straight” (PDF). Muir wrote the following: 34“Forestry in BC: Setting the Record Straight” (PDF), Resource Works, May 2021. Archived .pdf on file at DeSmog.
“Despite claims that banning old-growth logging need not result in disaster for forest-based communities, it would result in the immediate closure of at least five mills and the entire shake and shingle industry in coastal BC alone. Forest communities and their workers and families deserve more than disingenuous concern; they deserve the right to work,”
There is no forest-management crisis in British Columbia. But if half-truths and pseudo-scientific studies continue to be taken seriously, British Columbians may face a crisis of understanding.”
March 22, 2021
Stewart Muir wrote a letter to Jean-Denis Charlebois with the Canada Energy Regulator “to indicate our support for Trans Mountain’s request for confidentiality regarding the identity of its insurers” with regards to the Trans Mountain pipeline.”35“Insurance request is about the integrity of the public process and the civility of political debate” (PDF), Resource Works, March 22, 2021. Retrieved from Canada Energy regulator documents index. Archived .pdf on file at DeSmog.
“With a strong business case, the full support of the relevant elected government, and decisions
of the Supreme Court of Canada, the operation of this pipeline should be a foregone conclusion,” Muir wrote.
“Turning down the Project’s request for confidentiality would make it easier to conduct harassment campaigns while providing no benefit to Canadians,” he claimed.
November 2020
Resource Works executive director Stewart Muir created and circulated an open letter to be signed by mayors of BC communities to then-BC-premier John Horgan advocating for increased resource development as part of a pandemic recovery plan.36“Additional Agenda,” Mackenzie British Columbia Council, November 2020.

“Over the next four years, supporting responsible natural resource development is one of the most crucial things you can do,” the letter read. “Supporting natural resources means ensuring the right policies are in place.”
The letter listed “pillars” of economic well-being, including to “move quickly to enable shovel-ready projects to proceed.”

“The molecule that built modern civilization is the hydrocarbon. There is no politically acceptable off-ramp from this fact that doesn’t lead to energy poverty, just as it is unacceptable to ignore the consequences of fossil fuel combustion.
