The most abundant element in the universe and Germany can't produce its own? It did just fine when it couldn't get Helium...

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada will not be shipping natural gas to Europe to address the continent’s energy crisis.
“Canada is a major oil and gas producer in the world,” said Trudeau at a Monday press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
“But because of our commitment to fight climate change, we are working very, very hard to decarbonize and develop other sources of energy that we can rely on and we can share with the world.”
Trudeau said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had two impacts on the world’s energy supply.
The first impact was it made it imperative for Canada’s allies to reduce their reliance on Russian oil and gas.
The second impact was the invasion confirmed the world needs to accelerate ending its dependency on oil and gas.
Trudeau said Canada will “do what we can to contribute to the global supply of energy by increasing our capacities in the short term.”
He said Canada will need to have more conversations to determine if it would be feasible to export natural gas.
“In the middle term and long term, Canada can and will position itself to be a key supplier of energy to the world in a net zero economy,” he said.
Energy rationing started in Germany on July 8 as its energy crisis affected its hot water taps.
Canada and Germany did sign a deal for Canada to export hydrogen to the European country by 2025.
Hamburg warned its residents warm water would available at certain times of the day in an emergency, but not at other times because of natural gas shortages.
Residents in German state Saxony were told by their housing association hot showers would be restricted to 4 a.m. to 8 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. every day.
Working very hard to make everyone hate the Maple Leaf.
The world has gone nuts
Maybe Trudeau should sent Europe construction plans for windmills and unicorn treadmills. I’m sure that would help.
Well this “we” isn’t committed to the climate change scam at all. Turdeau pushing his WEF agenda under the guise of climate change....may he meet every bit of justice he deserves.
Castro minime has spoken.
Maybe Trudeau can send them some Canadian windmills and solar panels.
Wow.
The stupid runs deep.
When do Canadians reject Trudeau?
let them eat cake has been updated
let them warm themselves by the fire
They’re going to ship unicorn farts instead.
Far too many insane people running countries.
I suppose a trans Atlantic wind and solar sourced power line is in the works. The resistance would consume it all on the way, but so what, it’s the right thing to do. Trudeau is the ultimate example of “from an idiots mouth to idiots ears’

Yes, indeed. Whole economies are being rearranged and billions of dollars are being spent, all on the word of a fraud (Al Gore) and a little girl (Greta Thunberg).
Wonder how he thinks the moral high ground will save his butt when China just comes and takes his sinful energy supplies.
Does Canada have a state owned natural gas industry?
How else does the Trudeau government prevent private energy companies from selling gas to Europe?
They remind me of children or teenagers like the PM of Finland. There are no more serious leaders in western countries. Ever since the election of Bill Clinton, it’s all about who is the “coolest”.
Most of Europe will need LNG and oil this winter as Russia is restricting oil and natural gas to Europe due to sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine. Canada id turning its back on our allies just to signal how “green” he is.
When do Canadians reject Trudeau?
I know some conservative Canadians and we are blessed with some really good ones here on FR as well.
However, I also wonder about your question and shake my head.
If you had to pick a nation that represents California look no further than north of our border. It’s crazy. Beautiful country with tons of potential and its being choked to death by a man with fake eyebrows who is wrong across the board.
