Doom scrolling since 2016. I say fuck, a lot.
I'm a man. I can change. If I have to. I guess.
I'm an Albertan who's sick of my neighbours being targeted with bigotry and racism.
I block without warning or apology.

Spain has 49.5 million people. We have 41 million. Our population density in our major population corridors is very similar.
We could do this too.
Ask Australia what happened to their energy prices when they replaced domestic NG consumption with foreign LNG exports; their energy costs tripled because corporations were making more money shipping Australian natural gas overseas.
There is NO business case for an LNG pipeline to the east coast
But why can't we use Canadian Mainline, and existing natural gas pipeline, which travels from Hardisty to Toronto?
Because that one ships NG; LNG requires a special refrigerated pipeline. Also the NG in Canada Mainline is for Ontario and Québec to use locally, not for export.
Coastal GasLink took 5 years to build 670 km's, admittedly through the mountains, but the Canadian Shield also presents construction issues.
At that pace, an LNG pipeline would take 25 years to complete from Hardisty to Montreal.
The distance from Hardisty, AB to Montreal is 3421 km's. The build cost of this would be $73.9 BILLION DOLLARS. And that's before you even build an LNG export facility for hundreds of millions of dollars to be able to load ships with LNG to take to Europe.
