MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR EAST COAST LNG SALES TO GERMANY

   As a US ship arrived in Germany’s newly built liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal with a fresh shipment of gas, critics of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blasted him for turning down an opportunity to sell Canadian gas to the European nation.
   Conservative MP and foreign affairs critic Michael Chong called the deal a “missed opportunity” for Canada as Germany seeks for ways to offset its dependency on Russian energy.
“Germany’s newly constructed LNG terminal received its first full cargo from the U.S. today – not Canada,” tweeted Chong.
“That’s partly because Trudeau believes there’s ‘never been a strong business case’ for exporting East Coast LNG. What a missed opportunity.”
