Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has recently promoted an expansive LNG pipeline deal to center the domestic infrastructure development around the concept of “Buy Canadian.” However, when questioned about the actual construction of the proposal, Carney now admits the developers will determine what resources will be used – and it will not be Canadian product.
The unfortunate reason is not complicated. Canada does not have the industrial capacity to make the heavy components for the LNG expansion pipeline because Canada does not have the ability.

CALGARY — LNG Canada is planning to use Chinese steel in major components of its $33-billion second-phase expansion despite Ottawa’s promises that nationally significant projects would help drive Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Buy Canadian policy.
The joint venture says Canada lacks the specialized fabrication facilities needed to manufacture the massive modules required for its expansion and plans to buy more components from state-owned China Offshore Oil Engineering Co. Ltd. (COOEC), which manufactured modules for the project’s first phase. (read more)
I would remind readers this inability to manufacture industrial goods is exactly what former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau outlined to President Trump in December 2025 in Mar-a-Lago, when President Trump challenged Trudeau to stop importing Chinese steel and aluminum. Canada’s clean energy policy blocks the country from creating heavy industrial components. WATCH:
.
All of the political talking points from Mark Carney are built upon a foundation of lies. Their national inability is inherent in the Canadian industrial economy, which is created around a climate change agenda that blocks industrial manufacturing.
Eventually, this reality is going to hit the psyche of the Canadian electorate. It will not be easy for them to accept that all of their leadership has been lying to them. However, denial is a very real issue which makes conversation with any Canadian very challenging.
LNG Canada says its overseas purchasing reflects a gap in Canadian manufacturing capacity.
“For the plant construction in Kitimat, the challenge is not a preference for offshore steel, but the specialized fabrication capability required for modules of this scale and complexity,” company spokesperson Paul Hagel told CBC News in an email, adding that “there are no fabrication yards in Canada that can manufacture and deliver the additional modules required for Phase 2.”
Hagel said that only five fabrication yards worldwide have the necessary combination of space, capacity, quality systems and marine access, including COOEC’s yard in China. {source}
H.hahajHahaja. with a little spanish lingo thrown in.
Denial and talking to a Canadian voter….
That sounds like trying to talk to an Illinois voter…?
Don’t leave out our D candidates and legislature in COLO. Read all the pro opinions for the multiple proposed amendments!
That shows you how stupid the liberals are in Canada. They were gonna build at the fastest rate possible and they’re not even using Canadian steel. They’re gonna use Chinese steel and the liberals keep voting for him. Canada is the lost cause.
“Eventually, this reality is going to hit the psyche of the Canadian electorate. It will not be easy for them to accept that all of their leadership has been lying to them”
I really wonder if Carney and Co. will manage to keep Canadians gaslighted forever. They can’t paper over the economic problems, but they will double down on blaming the USA.
Oh they’ll eventually figure it out when
sub-quailty/poor quality Chinese junk keeps leaking and exploding. Even when that happens the leftist Canadian airheads will find a way to twist it into Trump’s fault
Kitimat BC is a very remote location.
Yes Carney gots bidum disease.
Build and destroy the country so globalist can control them.
Chinese steel, wonder if it lasts as long as Chinese appliances?
Maybe it will come with a service warranty…
Chinese steel is green, will rust and the pipeline will leak like a sieve.
So LNG is good now bc the narrative is “Buy Canadian”
A proposal to build a pipeline from the NorthSlope Alaska to the lower 48 some 25 years ago?
To proceed across Canada, they specified a particular pipe diameter, some odd metric size – only made in, where?, Canada of course.
Seems like the deal fell through – the ice?
Do I remember that correctly?
Oh, the irony of it all.
“Buy Canadian”, eh?
Carney has stock in that hat manufacturing line you can bet on it. Sleaze ball.
“Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder”.
So wrote George Washington…
Carney has none.
Not a single drop.
You’re most likely correct, my friend.
Let me guess. Carney’s project will be using Chinese steel, and probably a great deal of Chinese investment money, to build a pipeline to ship LNG to Canada’s west coast so that Canada can unlock new energy markets. Uh huh. But the only new market that Carney will be selling their LNG to is China, and they will be getting it cheap because China will actually be building the pipeline and all the rest of the development for the project. China will get all the benefit while Carney masquerades around pretending that Canada will be getting all the benefit.
“State-owned PetroChina, the largest oil and gas producer, supplier and global investor in China, is a 15 per cent shareholder. The other three partners in the joint venture are Malaysia’s Petronas (25 per cent), Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation (15 per cent) and the Korea Gas Corporation, or KOGAS (five per cent).
LNG exported from Kitimat is distributed by these five energy giants to Asian markets, based on their relative stake in the project.“

The taxpayers of Canada, the working class or the boomer class that always votes Liberal, are just farm animals to the political class.
They enrich themselves and their allies.
By the time boomers realize what they have done, it will be too late to reverse mass 3rd-world immigration and the national debt and socialist infrastructure.
Many of those policies have been institutionalized, and it won’t matter who wins any election.
Venezuela voted itself into poverty and socialist tyranny; Canada is taking the same route.
The teachers’ unions have accomplished what Antonio Gramsci proposed: capture the institutions and transform them.
The Democratic Party is now the DSA’s party in the USA
If they ever get digital ID, CBDC,Floc cameras everywhere, censorship, we will be on very short choke chains.
“Canada is planning to use Chinese steel in major components of its $33-billion second-phase expansion”
Good luck with that – because you will need it. Every experienced welder that I have met knows that Chinese steel is dung. They can tell very quickly when they start the welding process.
Belt and road 2.0?
