I Want A New Country

1. Canadians outside of Alberta stating we’ll be “landlocked” after we separate, (are they going to impose a blockade on us?) should have a look at this map, possibly including a route through the Panama Canal indicating the route which Chinese made dildos and associated maritial aids will then travel in order to arrive at their homes in Toronto.

   1. Nobody ever said there wasn’t a ‘business case’ for open water shipping …

2. Separation can’t come soon enough! This country is done and the sooner it gets broken into its separate factions the better off we will be. There is no way to fix this abomination that we call a confederation. Partition now to preserve those of us who still have a functioning brain that can still comprehend what common sense is. Shipping LNG from Australia to New Brunswick? Maybe the next step is to bring coal in from Newcastle. Of course we would have to ship it through the North West Passage to bring it to Vancouver.

   1. N Am and Aus ship coal to China.
      Back in the waning days of sail, coal from UK went around the Horn to Valparaiso.
      What’s the Upper/Lower on a split under the riegn of Mark King Carney?

      1. Can I get in on that action?

3. A comparison of distances…

4. L – Alberta/Sask Independence gets some serious analysis…in a larger perspective.

5. If it is indeed true that CNOOC and China National Petroleum own 38% of Queensland Curtis LNG production, then Comrade Commisar Carney’s actions make perfect sense..

6. I posted this on the previous ‘New Rules”:

   now that Australian LNG is being shipped to New Brunswick, can the LNG producers in Canada sue the Liberals for their stupidity? (There is no business case for LNG – Justyn Trudeau)

7. Canada would rather buy LNG from Australia than BC and Alberta.
   Alberta really does need to leave confederation.

8. justinuh, justinuh, TURDeau TURDeau TURD “no business case”.
   . . . . . . . . . leave. now. . . . . . . . LEAVE DAMMIT.

9. Interesting that Australia avoided the Panama Canal.

   1. Ship is probably too wide for the canal.

      1. https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9682605

         46 meters and 49 meters is the max for Panama, and I have one guess as to why they’d take the longer route, but it’s an “out there guess” … Panama has had a drought for about 3 years and they use that water to fill the locks to raise/lower the ships, I don’t know if this dramatically changes the transit rates.

      2. Ah. That’s why you’re the Thought Criminal. Makes sense they wouldn’t use the canal only if they couldn’t. Imagine rounding the tip of South America with a ship full of natural gas.

      3. Perhaps more that it is a massive potential fuel-air bomb that, if set off at the right place, would completely destroy the canal

10. Quebec has 31 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas in their Utica shale gas formation, which they refuse to access because then Alberta would not have to pay Equalization payments. Remember Questerre energy?, everyone thought they were going to be a huge company twenty years ago, until the Quebec government yelled
    “SAVE GAIA”!

    1. New Brunswick has plenty of on-shore natural gas reserves itself.
       It could drill for this stuff from under its own feet, employ hundreds (or thousands) of its own citizens and collect production royalties and other taxes for its provincial government.
       New Brunswickers have actively chosen not to do any of the above. I hope the Australians soak them.

11. Shipping LNG to the Maritimes from Australia is a near perfect example of the idea that you should ignore what politicians say and instead watch their actions.

    Words : Team Canada, Buy Canadian, Canada will be it’s own best customer, the federal government will get rid of interprovincial trade barriers

    Action: ship natural gas from half way around the world instead of buying it from western Canada. This also applies to much of Quebec’s oil supply.

    Actions speak much louder than words. Canada is not a united country that works as a team. It is designed for economic and political expolitation that benefits central Canada.

    Anyway, the new unofficial motto for Canada should be “This is why Canada is poorer than Alabama”
    The new motto for Alberta and Saskatchewan should be “independence fixes this”

12. Oh, it get’s better. Let’s just remember how much money is sent from Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan to the Maritimes? So, in effect, they’re using our money to buy from our competitors.

    Oh! But “we’ll be our own best customers!” Unless the product is from the West.

    Let’s go team canaduh!

    P.S. What ever happened to Sable Island?

    1. Still sand

13. Maersk took over the canal recently.
    It is a fatty at 46.4 meters.
    Nah, I’m going with drugs. Drugs off the coast of Brazil. Big ship like that, in all the LNG infrastructure. Tiny little pallet of fentanyl. No one will notice.

14. Maybe super-smart banker Carney can figure out if there is a business case?
    …just kidding

15. Australian LNG fob Botany Bay is about 9 to 10 $/mmbtu on long term contracts. U.s. gulf coast pricing is around 6-8 $/mmbtu. National TDS is expensive.
