IMAGINE they are shipping 25,000 km while Canada can’t get this across the Country! So much for “buying Canada” & supporting OUR Country…..this govt is still a big talker with few plans for our economy, no wonder he wants a majority & foolish is going to vote for him & his party again…..truly unbelievable!
Canadian-produced natural gas doesn’t reach all the way to the East Coast, due to a lack of infrastructure, but Australian gas soon will.
A tanker carrying Australian liquified natural gas (LNG), the Maran Gas Hector, has made a journey of around 25,750 kilometres and will soon reach the Port of Saint John, N.B., Bloomberg News has reported.
This will be the first time Australian LNG makes it to Canada, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Kpler, a global trade analytics firm.
Saint John LNG operates a terminal in New Brunswick which receives LNG and converts it to natural gas for distribution via the Brunswick Pipeline linking to Canadian and U.S. markets. The terminal is fully owned by Spanish multinational energy and petrochemical company Repsol.
The company confirmed to The Epoch Times that it is about to receive a shipment from Australia. Saint John LNG would not comment further on details of the transaction.
The shipment of Australian LNG to Canada points to softening demand for the fuel in Asia, as Australia looks for new buyers for its uncontracted fuel. A cargo was also sent to Turkey, the first since at least 2017, and another went to Chile earlier this year, Bloomberg says.
The International Energy Agency said in a late 2025 report forecasting natural gas prices that increased supply of the commodity would “transform” global market dynamics. The United States and Qatar have been ramping up production.
Meanwhile, Ottawa has also been touting its potential as an LNG exporter, reporting high interest from trading partners in Europe and Asia.
According to the federal government’s latest Energy Fact Book, Canada in 2024 had the 10th largest natural gas reserves in the world and was fifth largest producer.
Canada’s first LNG export terminal, located on the West Coast, became operational last summer. LNG Canada Phase 1 in Kitimat, B.C., has an export capacity of 1.84 billion cubic feet per day.
Ottawa has referred Phase 2 of that project to the Major Projects Office (MPO) for steering. The project is a joint venture involving multinationals from various countries. They have yet to make a final investment decision on Phase 2.
The MPO was created by the government of Prime Minister Mark Carney to speed up the construction of projects deemed to be of national importance.
A second LNG export project in B.C., Ksi Lisims, was also referred to the MPO.
Carney has described Canada as an “energy superpower” in conventional and renewable energies. While he has expressed support for a new bitumen pipeline to the West Coast, under certain conditions, Carney has not spoken of building new pipelines to connect Alberta to the East Coast.

“China not a substitute for the U.S.”:
Poilievre pitches plan to boost economic leverage
Poilievre says Canada must stop “mistaking engagement for dependence” on Beijing and instead unlock its own energy and mineral wealth to gain “unbreakable leverage abroad."

A CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO THE Alberta October Referendum
Nine Questions. One Direction. Your Decision.
There was a time when Canada meant something to most people who lived here. A country where a
single income could carry a family. Where young people assumed they would one day own a home.
Where a doctor was a phone call away, not a six-month waiting list. Where classrooms were places
of learning, not managed chaos.
That Canada still exists in memory for many of us. For younger Albertans, it exists only in the
stories their parents tell.
In October 2026, Albertans will be asked nine questions. The answers they give will shape the
future of this province, and may determine whether that future belongs to Alberta alone.
This guide was produced to help you think through those questions clearly, honestly,
and on your own terms.

Where We Are. How We Got Here.
Alberta generates wealth that funds programs across this country. It has done so for generations. In
return, it has watched federal policy decisions made by governments it did not elect restrict its energy
sector, inflate its cost of living, and overwhelm its schools and hospitals with growth that no provincial
government was ...
