FACT: Germany cannot import LNG & Canada cannot export LNG.

FACT: While many LNG export projects were proposed, low LNG prices & inability to get financing, meant most were cancelled or postponed.

"As a result, Canada has no operating LNG export infrastructure."

Conservatives must STOP their D.i.s.i.n.f.o.r.m.a.t.i.o.n.

How exactly is PM Trudeau "kneecapping Canada" when Chancellor Olaf Scholz said:
"We have not built terminals for importing liquid natural gas to Germany at our own shores...." cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Sorry Trudeau, the case for LNG is clear, now get out of the way

"Canada simply refuses to build the infrastructure needed to export the resource."

It's not up to GOV to fund the

magical thinking of Conservatives. It's up to the BANKS & the private sector together, together with the MARKET & they said NO, not PMJT!

*** "Since 2011, 24 LNG projects have been issued long-term export licenses." ***

Low LNG prices & inability to get financing, meant most projects were cancelled or postponed: see posts above!

STOP dumping on PMJT #cdnmedia: it's not due to: "...a decade of bad policymaking, poor political leadership and capitulation to fringe voices."

It's the FREE MARKET! Image
"On Oct 1, 2018, LNG Canada made a final investment decision to proceed with construction of an LNG export facility in Kitimat, the first LNG export facility ... & the largest private sector investment in Canadian history at an estimated $40 billion.

FYI if anyone missed it: "...the current government provided tax-breaks for the huge modules needed for LNG Canada...."


The historical natural gas rates that kept investors' powder dry until recently Image
It's not enough that some Conservatives are criticizing the attack on @ChrystiaFreeland. They need to stop sharing #RageFarming articles by some #cdnmedia that falsely dump on PMJT & our Gov.

How did Aljazeera get it right in response to Poilievre's attack on
#cdnpoli #LNG Image
PMJT while much of #CdnMediaFailed us on LNG & Scholz's visit?
aljazeera.com/economy/2022/8…

Canada cannot export LNG
and
Germany cannot import LNG, period!

It's not PMJT's fault @nationalpost. It's the #FreeMarket!
Almost everything in the NP article is D.i.s.i.n.f.o.r.m.a.t.i.o.n. & yet Canada's Conservatives like @DanAlbas & @PierrePoilievre are gleefuly #RageFarming despite the lies.

See my entire thread above.

Canadian LNG: PMJT was right!

"Building new projects right now makes very little business sense. The PM was right about that.

But what about the past, you say! Surely he's responsible for the absence of a bunch of projects.

Not quite."

Good luck #abpoli! You'll *finally* need to accept AB is a landlocked Prov that will be subject to tariffs & responsible for BILLIONS of $s needed to cleanup unremediated abandoned wells & your toxic leaking tailing ponds.

Indigenous lands are not yours either.

@Swiftie01 🤣 zero respect on the international stage:

winner of Five fossil awards & in 2013 a "lifetime unachievment award" for "obstructionist behavior"

@Swiftie01 PET Legacy vs what exactly was Harper's Legacy? Scandals? Authoritarian control of his caucus? Cutting over 20,000 federal servants with Draconian cuts while hiring 3,325 spin doctors?


Image

@Swiftie01 the cuts were truly Draconian & dismantled social programs built over generations. CPC complains about outsourcing & have yet to look in the mirror. the cuts to housing were brutal.

@LailaGoodridge @CPC_HQ @somerspsych More people are dying in AB from toxic drugs so stay in your LANE!

BC hasn't legalized drugs. Stop lying.

Why aren't you listening Ms Goodridge? BC's #SaferSupply program is helping & working while AB's deaths are up!

The toxic drug carnage in AB is Poilievre's & Ms Goodridge's preferred system of care for addicted Canadians yet their toxic drug deaths are way up while BC's are dropping & they want to stop #harmreduction & #SaferSupply? SHAME! threadreaderapp.com/thread/1791570…

I used to respect Chong but since he falsely claimed the faux scandal with JWR was a constitutional crisis, no more.

His Senate claim belongs to the Harper era that he served in!

I would truly like to know how moderate Conservatives are so easily radicalized?

#cdnpoli
The Senate renewal by the LPC was about fostering "...a less partisan Senate that is more independent...."


An independant arm's length advisory board was tasked with providing nominees & applicants based on "merit-based criteria" (screenshots)!

#cdnpoli senate-gro.ca/senate-renewal…

Chong conveniently forgets that many Canadians wanted the Senate abolished b/c of its highly partisan nature.

Despite promising less patronage appointments, Stephen Harper pushed 50+ to the Senate that consisted of many CPC staffers, donors & ex-candidates who lost their riding.

PM Trudeau vindicated once again.

Will it dominate the news cycle like so many of #PierrePoilievre's LIES or phony scandals cooked up Journalists with anonymous sources, or will it be a 1-day article?

Why are Conservatives allowed to spew such BS without pushback from Journalists? It's not about blanket decriminalizing hard-core drugs. It's the possession of **small** amounts that won't mean an automatic prison sentence for an addict.
