A CBC News business story is drawing criticism over the use of the phrase 'long-life assets'. Commenters, including one widely shared post from Alberta, argue the industry term effectively means companies plan to keep polluting for decades. The discussion ties the language to ongoing climate concerns in Canada's oil and gas sector.
Why now: The framing of fossil fuel infrastructure as long-term investment is being challenged amid ongoing climate debate in Canada.
