I can't wait to watch you argue with yours.

I get it now, Newfoundland doesn't count as a maritime location, but Nova Scotia is a maritime province
Thanks for the clarity
Note the phrase Major Gas Pipelines in Canada
TP has backed himself into a corner and is grasping at straws now.
He's invested too much into his position of knowledge to the point that he simply can not recant his position and admit that he is ill-informed
you should have learned in grade 2 that Newfoundland is NOT part of the maritimes.
notice that the MNP pipeline in Atlantic Canada goes from NS to the US.
And also note that EXXON is in the process of shutting down Sable.
So where do the exports from NB and NS come from?
Answer me that, if you're so smart.
I agree, it's not a complicated subject. Exporting LNG from a Canadian facility is not an economically viable project.
And despite what you said, it is not happening now in the Maritimes.
It really is quite simple.

And yet, there are approx 20 more proposals in place for LNG exporting facilities.
And so that's why you believe that billions of dollars have been spent and there are multiple LNG export facilities already operating on the East Coast.
Perfect.
"Shell's decision to seal two exploration wells off Nova Scotia has set back the province's dream of offshore riches, but analysts say it's early days in what may prove to be a complex geological hunt."
You guys out west just aren't as connected to what really is going on.
hehehe.... Robot replacement is the last thing I have to worry about
That line your picture depicts runs about two miles south of my place in Kapuskasing and supplies gas heating and hot water to municipalities close to the line at a rate a lot cheaper than electricity or oil...even my kitchen range is gas.I get it now, Newfoundland doesn't count as a maritime location, but Nova Scotia is a maritime province

Maritimes just means pertaining to the ocean and guess what Nfld. is in the Atlantic Ocean!
The CEO of one of Canada's biggest natural gas producers says "government dithering" played a role in the cancellation of a massive liquefied natural gas project in British Columbia.
"They [Petronas] kept getting held up …*all levels of government were trying to squeeze more money out of them," said Mike Rose, head of Tourmaline, among the largest gas producers in Western Canada.
Tourmaline was among a slew of shale gas producers in B.C. and Alberta that stood to benefit from gas export through liquefaction. "We're disappointed," Rose said.
Malaysia's*Petronas cancelled its $11.4-billion Pacific NorthWest plant on Tuesday, citing lower prices in recent years in export markets in Asia. But Rose said a "more effective, streamlined approval process," would have seen Petronas make a final investment decision on the project three years ago, when prices were much higher.
Other big producers in the region, including Seven Generations, were reluctant to comment on the Petronas decision.
Canadian natural gas has traditionally been locked within the continental network of North American pipelines. But liquefaction allows gas to be transported around the world by tanker, and fetch a higher price.
The Petronas project was conceived when gas prices in Asia were significantly higher. They have fallen in recent years.*
Only 2 large projects on the books
Five years ago, there were more than a dozen LNG projects proposed for the B.C. coast. Now, only two large plans remain, one spearheaded by Royal Dutch Shell, the other by Chevron. Both have been delayed and their futures remain uncertain.
Pacific NorthWest had been considered the project most likely to proceed. But it suffered federal government delays, including additional time granted to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency to review the project.
As well, the B.C. government announced a special LNG tax at seven per cent*of net income in 2014. Later it cut*that figure to 3.5 per cent*after capital costs were recovered.
Analysts say many Canadian gas producers are now pinning their hopes on LNG development in the U.S., where one export plant is already up and running in Louisiana, and another is slated to begin shipping from Maryland by year-end.
"I think U.S. LNG is an opportunity for Canadian producers," said Martin King, director of institutional research, GMP FirstEnergy. But relative to building plants on the B.C. coast, he described that opportunity as "thin and distant."
Despite that, Canadian producers are looking south. Seven Generations confirmed it is already shipping as much as 100 million cubic feet per day to the U.S. Gulf Coast, where the Sabine Pass project has been in operation for more than a year.
Seven Generations spokesperson Alan Boras said the company has been shipping product into that market since late last year. "Any time there is an increase in sales opportunities, that is a good thing for the North American market."
Woodfibre LNG project confident it will advance
Natural gas industry could dwindle
In the longer run, U.S. plants are expected to help lift continental gas prices broadly.
"Between greater gas exports going to Mexico from the U.S., the greater pull of LNG out of the U.S. and just general improvement of the market next year, I think all these factors come together to improve the overall price of natural gas and that will feed back to a better price of natural gas in Canada," King said.
By the end of the year he expects LNG exports to reach as much a three billion cubic feet, approaching five per cent*of total U.S. supply.
King predicts an average 2018 natural gas price, at the benchmark Henry Hub, of $3.75 US per 1,000 cubic feet.*That price is currently*hovering around $3 US.
How BC’s LNG Fiasco Went So Wrong
Government, cheerleaders were blind to market forces that doomed the pipe dream. Will NDP make the same mistake?
The failure of B.C.’s LNG strategy, symbolized by last week’s death of the Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal, is really a story about government deceit or ignorance.
“We acted like a Third World country,” declares Finn.
“Whoever was doing the math didn’t have a clue,” says Finn.
