Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

Nope, talking about North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin and it happened in 2017 or 2018 IIRC.
How many have the feds actually planted? Last number I seen for planting pretty much covered what forest companies and provinces are required to plant. The feds were still setting up the bureaucracy to ensure most of the money stayed in Ottawa, and not in the forest. Then there is the not insignificant problem of where to get trees. Mostly, the nurseries are committed to their regular customers, and one doesn't just ramp up production overnight. And they have to be the right trees for the soil. Another turdOWE shooting from the lip before knowing anything about the subject.Well, we’re down to only about 318,000,000,000 trees (give or take a few I guess) in Canada so I don’t know how many we have to spare. Trudeau is planting those extra 2 Billion Greta trees thou so maybe?
Rex Murphy: Canada's obsession with trees delves into the absurd — National Post
Planting an additional two billion trees on top of the 318 billion we already have is, as the proverb states, akin to bringing coal to Newcastleapple.news
Diane Francis: Trudeau's promise to plant 2 billion trees nothing but greenwashing
Trudeau's modus operandi is to concoct policies that are unjustified, unformulated, unfunded and unfulfilledfinancialpost.com
No probs, I get it, The MSM did their best to try and not talk about it when it was happening. The Texas breakdown was actually understandable from what I read about it. The Mid-West breakdown was just ideological stupidity.
After an energy-hungry Germany was snubbed by Canada, Berlin has instead gone all-in on a gas contract with Qatar, the small, autocratic nation currently hosting the World Cup.
This week, German firms announced a 15-year contract to buy roughly two million tonnes of LNG per year of Qatari natural gas.
The multi-billion-dollar deal comes just three months after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made a rare official visit to Canada for the explicit goal of securing Canadian sources of liquid natural gas.
“As Germany is moving away from Russian energy at warp speed, Canada is our partner of choice,” Scholz told a Toronto economic conference in August. “We hope that Canadian LNG will play a major role in this.”
Nevertheless, the German leader’s entreaties were met largely with disinterest from the Canadian federal government.
Snubbed by Canada, Germany goes all-in with autocratic Qatar for its gas — National Post
FIRST READING: Despite Trudeau claim of no 'business case' for gas exports to Europe, Germany will be buying Qatari gas into the 2040s
At a joint press conference with Scholz, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said openly that there has “never been a strong business case” for Canadian LNG exports to Europe.
The prime minister then insisted on taking his German counterpart to Stephenville, Newfoundland, the site of a proposed facility to make hydrogen gas from wind power. With any groundbreaking still years away — and with hydrogen still a vanishingly small piece of Germany’s energy mix — the visit didn’t appear to yield any particular German enthusiasm for Canadian hydrogen.
Germany’s contract for Qatari gas begins in 2026, meaning that tankers of Qatari gas will be sailing into German ports until at least 2041.
The scope and longevity of the contract would seem to defy Trudeau government claims that German gas demands were merely a temporary stop-gap that carried no long-term opportunity for Canada.
The Qatari deal comes with a fair amount of political awkwardness for Germany, given that Berlin has been particularly critical of the Gulf State’s poor record on human rights.
Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 World Cup has highlighted international attention on the country’s autocratic rule, its rejection of gay and women’s right and a treatment of foreign workers that has often drawn comparisons to slavery.
So…Yeah…more at the link.
Fact is turdOWE was snubbing western Canada, not Germany. While Canadian ecoterrorists were busy making sure Canada would produce as little fossil fuel of any kind, the rest of the countries that have fossil fuel resources were busy ramping up production.After an energy-hungry Germany was snubbed by Canada, Berlin has instead gone all-in on a gas contract with Qatar, the small, autocratic nation currently hosting the World Cup.

Just five months after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau brushed off a German plea to secure Canadian supplies of natural gas, an energy-starved Japan appears poised to launch a similar campaign of begging Canada to sell more gas.
Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio will make an official visit to Ottawa on Thursday, where he is expected to make a pitch for Canada to start directing some of its vast natural gas reserves to Japanese ports.
Japan is “stuck in a situation where they’re sourcing their LNG from Russia, and they don’t have another option,” Business Council of Canada executive Trevor Kennedy told The Canadian Press in advance of the visit.
Liquid natural gas represents roughly a quarter of all the energy consumed in Japan, which is why Japan ranks as the world second-largest buyer of imported LNG (after China).
Japan previously received a good chunk of these imports from Russia, although supplies have been thrown into disarray by the geopolitical aftermath of the latter’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.
As Japan heads into 2023, business leaders are panicking that they won’t be able to secure enough of the gas to keep the lights on by next winter. “The LNG procurement environment has changed completely. Procurement can also be said to be in a state of war,” said a recent survey of Japanese companies by the country’s trade ministry.

It’s very similar to the fate that has recently befallen Germany. After decades of becoming increasingly reliant on Russian supplies of oil and gas, Germany also saw much of its Russian supplies cut off in the aftermath of the invasion of Ukraine.
In August, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made a rare official visit to Ottawa with an explicit request for Canada to make up the difference. “Canada is our partner of choice,” said Scholz at the time.
Instead, Scholz was met with a declaration from Trudeau that there has “never been a strong business case” for LNG exports to Europe.
A jilted Germany soon turned to the Middle Eastern nation of Qatar….

I wonder if the Canadian Liberal/NDP Gov’t can see a “Strong Business Case” for Canadian LNG exports to Japan?
Will Justin take Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio to Stephenville Newfoundland to watch the…whatever people watch in Stephenville instead?

Question: Why does Da Meeja characterize efforts to enter into a contract to buy goods as "pleading" and "begging?"
Seems to me Da Meeja is all in on the surlification of society.

There isn't a gas shortage in Europe. They have twice as much gas in storage this winter than they had this time last year
They aren't saving it, they are selling it. Prices are lower than last year too. As usual we are getting a line of bullshit from media once again.
So who are they selling it to when it's Europe that has a critical shortage and have told residents (in Germany anyway) to expect that the heating of their homes will be reduced by 40% this winter. My friend has "stocked up" on firewood as she's fortunate enough to have a fireplace to use when the gas is off.
They are selling to consumers as always but at crazy prices. Its a flipping miracle of miracles that Germany now has 3 LNG offload facilities in place in a matter of 8 months isnt it.
Does that sound reich to you?
