Pitching Canada as a reliable supplier of clean energy and a solution for European countries' reliance on Russian oil and gas, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's not sold on the idea of liquefied natural gas exports being part of the long-term plan.

Speaking alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at a press conference on Monday—part of a three-day visit to Canada focused on energy security and clean technology that is set to culminate with the signing of a hydrogen export deal in Newfoundland on Tuesday—Trudeau seemed to question the "business case" for pursuing LNG developments.

"Conversion plants are usually placed close to the sources of LNG. And, as we look at the possibility of LNG plants on the east coast, able to ship directly to Germany, we find ourselves a long way from the gas fields in western Canada. It's doable, we have infrastructure around that, but we're looking very much at how we can best help," Trudeau said.

On Monday, Trudeau said Canadian companies are still talking with Germany about whether or not "the new context" now makes it worthwhile to invest in outstanding proposed but not pursed liquefied natural gas projects including in Atlantic Canada and Quebec, keeping in mind Germany also has plans to transition to cleaner energy sources.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE - SEE TV B$$$$

Baby indoctrination style - like that ctv

PUKE ALERT

Wow, JustinTrudeau needs to FUCKING GO. Before he puts Canada into more of a recession. He's selling the great lakes.

Norway & Canada can help provide Europe with energy. Europe is offering Canada business. Just as Canadians are offering Europe Business. NAFTA/USMCA too idle? We can work together to solve issues.

Quebec needs a kick JustinTrudeau without a moments hesitation.All of Western Europe needs their back sufficiently covered. It’s what we do.LNG top priority 2 a Labrador terminal which will in turn reduce pollution in Canada’s north by eliminating imported oil 4 elec generation

He questions the business case of this? 👇🤔

Gross

He can export bullshit liquefied as well.

Concerned as to what Junior will f’up next.

Silly headline, their main issue was talking about hydrogen production, because Germany is having problems with climate change and soon won't be able to ship stuff in because their rivers are running dry.

Does this guy know what a business case is?

Go back to being a drama teacher. worstpmever

What 'clean energy' keeps a home warm through a winter? Our leaders are fanatical about this file.

Bad idea. Sure people won't freeze to death. But what about climate change?

Does the PM still purchase carbon offsets or was that a 2019 fad?

Pierre would send wood.

Germany must love winter as much as the Liberals do.

Keep Pumping JT’s Tires … It’s what the East of Lloydminister Media does best … Carry on 🤡

Sure he shuts it down for Canadian but as per usual his own citizens mean nothing to him.

OXYMORON

Two vile fascists.

Trudeau can power the European continent on liquefied bullshit

Once again, Donald Trump has been proven to be correct.

So our friends are in need. They are desperate and here for help and you're playing games. Grow up. If you STILL support this child, you're a selfish A hole like he is.

More political double-talk. Global energy shortages. Growing demand. The business case is obvious. If the Liberals would get out of the way. They just need to get started and approve the LNG facilities and pipelines. For the benefit of Canada, and the world.

Next clown to get voted out !!!! Can't wait

He's learned a new phrase. Truly impressive.

Unsurprising that he would say something so stupid. He admitted that he doesnt think about monetary policy.

How is this even possible. The business case is incredibly blatant.

Trudeau has no idea what “business case” means. Just good speech writing!

In public. In front of the German Chancellor. Good grief.

Let me get this right. Russia cut off Germany like Trump said would happen. And now Canada will give them gas, and Canadians get fucked? I want to meet a Trudeau fan boy. I got some knuckles to show them

But he doesn’t think too much about monetary policy, right? nicehairthough

The world has changed drastically so potential is real for lower quality of life without LNG

And he wants to depopulate us…of course they forget to mention that

No business case for growing Canadian jobs while helping our allies in Europe? Unbelievable!

Once again far from the city in a blocked off dock in old Montreal. Public, blocked access, media on invite only access, but all looks good. Even die hard Libs should be asking questions.

What’s greener than natural gas? The country of the fella standing beside PMJT will be begging for it in a couple of months.

I’d like to see the business case for all the sanctions against Russia. It’s hard working Canadians that are paying the price not Trudeau

Bulk carriers emitted on average 440 million metric tons CO2, while container ships emitted 140 million metric tons CO2 per year.Jan 27, 2021  statistics International shipping

He’s killing our country. No other explanation

Would 1 patch leader please explain to Trudeau the biz case for a LNG project in eastern Canada? Or could 1 bright public servant explain to him how it could be done with Ottawa removing hurdles and streamlining the reg process?

Trudeau must have his head up his a**
