LNG deal a rare triple win for Germany, Canada and national unity
A new liquefied natural gas (LNG) deal has been established between Canada and Germany, marking a significant shift in energy relations. The agreement allows Canada to sell approximately one million tonnes of LNG annually to Germany's state-owned utility SEFE, starting in the early 2030s. This deal is seen as a win for Canadian national security, the economy, and national unity amidst ongoing geopolitical challenges.
