WHAT A GAS

LNG exports from several countries began back in 1989 (Australia), from Qatar in 1997, and from the U.S., in 2016, which is now the world’s largest LNG exporter. Although Canada has the fifth-largest natural gas reserves, we only recently sent our first liquefied natural gas export to Asia, from the $40-billion LNG plant at Kitimat, B.C. Most of the 18 LNG projects proposed since 2011 were cancelled due to regulatory issues, culminating in Justin Trudeau’s comment in 2022 that “there was no business case for LNG.” Countries which early on did see the business case are reaping the benefits. This is a great example of how a government which has no understanding of business issues, no knowledge of global energy requirements, and ignores the capability of a country (Canada) to generate tremendous revenues from natural resources, can totally screw its economy!

UMMMM

I was a sergeant in the Danish military during the early ’60s. My principal instructor at the school I went to was fighting the Russians during that 90-day war in Finland at the beginning of the Second World War. Donald Trump is not a TACO chicken. He is an accomplished actor, a very sick man, and very dangerous. Trump’s Gestapo-style security people handcuffing a U.S. senator at a news conference and ushering him out of the room should serve as a clear demonstration Project 2025 has been completed. It’s time to awaken the American public and engage in some dialogue about what the future could be like, with Trump as the undisputed dictator. With Trump in the driver’s seat, and nobody doing anything to stop him, the doors for another civil and or global war are wide open.
