Canada buys LNG from Australia while ignoring Alberta
Alberta sits on massive natural gas reserves—but Canada is importing LNG from across the globe, wasting money and emissions.
Canada is one of the world’s top 15 countries for natural gas, yet Atlantic Canada is set to receive its first liquified natural gas shipment from Australia—a 25,000 km, month-long journey.
Alberta’s vast, high-quality gas remains untapped because pipelines like Energy East were canceled, costing jobs, economic growth, and creating unnecessary CO₂ emissions.
Coalition for Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada founder Jocelyn Bamford joins Marc Patrone to break down why this makes no economic or environmental sense.
They discuss Canada’s “strategic negligence,” the missed opportunities in our own energy sector, and how importing energy we already have is enriching other countries while ignoring Alberta’s resources.
