What are you talking about?! I have had to correct you over and over about your country. I know more about Canada than you do and I am not even from there. Heck you think you fought a naval battle with the Soviet Union!
LNG project scrapped!

This cancellation had nothing to do with the government.. the company overseas cancelled it..
Malaysia’s Petronas has cancelled plans for an $11.4-billion liquefied natural gas terminal on the B.C. coast, dealing a major blow to Canada’s hopes of becoming a global LNG supplier.

Exactly, because those in the industry know realize that exporting LNG from North America is a money-losing proposition.
Probably not... Petronas won't come right out and say something along the lies of the BC gvt dragged their heels on the deal.
I'd also wager that in the next year or so, Petronas will announce a new build in a different nation.
The actions (or inaction) of the BC gvt are certainly a part of the reason that they pulled out
And yet, the other dozen or so proposals for development of LNG facilities in Canada haven't been cancelled
... Guess that they just don't have the smarts that you have
With the NDP they lost emissions exemptions.
On the East Coast, Germany hasn't given up on Nova Scotia. 6 days of sailing saved from buying from the functioning LNG terminals on The Gulf Coast.

NG is the backbone of the "green economy" and BC blew it by ass dragging.
You've changed your stance that BC Libs are actually Conservatives?
That's an IMPORT terminal, not an export one, and plans to convert it to export were cancelled because the numbers DON'T MAKE SENSE.
Yet Germany still wants Maritime gas.
That's nice. Go gas up the 07 Civic that's not as efficient as an F150 before the price of gas goes up.
Maritime gas? If that plant ever does function as an export terminal, it will be exporting gas from New England, not the maritimes.
There's not enough 'maritime gas' for domestic use, much less export.
Meanwhile on the pipeline front.........
British Columbia's attorney general says the NDP government will not artificially delay permits for the Trans Mountain pipeline, despite the premier's vow to use every available tool to stop the project.
David Eby said he's been tasked by Premier John Horgan to identify options to halt Kinder Morgan Canada's $7.4-billion expansion of its Alberta-to-B.C. pipeline, which has already been approved by Ottawa and the previous B.C. government.
Eby said the province cannot deliberately stall on permits without risking a very costly lawsuit, but it can ensure that permits require that construction be done in a way that minimizes spills, protects the environment and ensures appropriate cleanup.
I've been tasked by the premier to identify our options. There is an important piece to that, which is that we must do so within the laws of British Columbia and Canada, because if we don't, we'll be sued," Eby told Kamloops radio station CHNL.
"We'll end up paying hundreds of millions of dollars that should be going to schools and hospitals to an oil company and that is not a goal that anybody's looking for."
Trans Mountain, a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan Canada, declined comment on Eby's remarks but said it's in an ongoing process of seeking and receiving permits from the necessary agencies, as construction of the project is phased.
First Nations and environmental groups have filed lawsuits against the federal government's approval of the project. Some groups have also launched legal challenges of B.C.'s environmental certificate.
The NDP government has not said what it plans to do about the lawsuits, but Coleman said if it is looking to avoid compensation, then the normal move would be to defend the certificate.
"The question is: Is that a half-hearted defence?" he asked. "I think that remains to be seen."
Horgan said at a joint news conference with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa on Tuesday that he hasn't yet been briefed by his attorney general but he has spoken with First Nations who have filed lawsuits against the federal government.
Green party Leader Andrew Weaver said in a statement that he understands Eby's points and expects they are not indicative of a broader change in the NDP's stance on the pipeline.
"As an opposition party, we will remain steadfast in calling on the NDP government to use every legally available tool to stop the pipeline from going ahead," Weaver said

Maybe, it's just on the wrong coast. There'll be convoys of LNG tankers crossing to Europe every day after the shooting war starts with the Russians and they cut off all of Europe's gas.
