Ottowa defies Ukraine’s objections to return of equipment for Nord Stream 1 pipeline, saying it needs to support Europe’s access to ‘reliable and affordable energy’
Canada will return a repaired Russian turbine to Germany that it needs for the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, despite objections from Ukraine, as the sanctions regime came up against the energy crisis sparked by the war.
Canada’s minister of natural resources, Jonathan Wilkinson, said in a statement on Saturday the government was issuing a “time-limited and revocable permit” to exempt the return of turbines from its Russian sanctions, to support “Europe’s ability to access reliable and affordable energy as they continue to transition away from Russian oil and gas”.
Wilkinson said the export permit was issued after discussions with “our European friends and allies”, and the International Energy Agency.
Russia’s Gazprom cut capacity on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline from Russia to Europe to just 40% of usual levels last month, citing the delayed return of equipment being serviced by Germany’s Siemens Energy in Canada. The Kremlin said on Friday it would increase gas supplies to Europe if the turbine were returned. The part is required for maintenance work due to start on Monday.
Canada – which has been under pressure from Germany to find a way to return the turbine – said “absent a necessary supply of natural gas, the German economy will suffer very significant hardship and Germans themselves will be at risk of being unable to heat their homes as winter approaches”….

All of the boomeranging Suicide Sanctions need to be ended immediately.
I guess Germans & Busek crying like little girls in their dark house while taking cold showers finally melted Turdeaux’s heart.
You’re so malicious...
Bet Germany wishes they had all the gas back that they wasted in the gas chambers. /s
Neocons have no reverse gear...
Bobby Habeck, "Bareback" Baerbock and Oaf Doltz have got plenty of gas - just not the kind that Germany can use to heat itself.
Thanks. The encouragement helps and I really try to do my best at it.
Here is Busek explaining to friends the effects that taking cold showers has on him.

Excellent Twitter site of Will Schryver who on Jan 13th wrote a series of very prescient tweets outlining the upcoming war. The first link is to his Twitter site. The second link to a roll out of his January war posts that have aged very well. The next four links are all from his brand new blog. The last link is to a chart of European Land Forces Comparison - 2022. This one chart offers the evidence that this war has been intended, planned.

Trudeau is a Marxist at heart and one should expect his government to act accordingly. For anyone paying attention, this decision to make an exception for Putin merely drops slightly Trudeau’s mask of deception.
Thanks, Cathi, good stuff.
