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!
Various jurisdicitions in and around Boulder County are coming to grips with shrinking budgets alongside inflation.
The Boulder Public Library District was spun off into a separate entity in 2023. The new district is funded mostly through a dedicated property tax. Commercial property vacancies, especially office space, is quite unhealthy. Office vacancy for Downtown Boulder is bad enough at approx 30% but Downtown Denver is worse at 38.6%.
Boulder County plugged their revenue gap by raising the property tax rate.
City of Boulder is dealing with budget cuts.
The Boulder Public Library District is having to reallocate funds from personnel to facilities maintenance and capital improvements. The libraries are going through reductions in force including layoffs to achieve a 20% decrease in personnel related spending.
The Boulder Valley School District has finalized their plan to consolidate schools and close some campuses. BVSD already achieved a reduction in force through early retirement incentives last year. This is to go along with anticipated decreases in the number of students.
The People’s Republic of Boulder has one of the most educated populations in the US. The jurisdictions are making projections and dealing with shrinking budgets. It is not going to be pleasant but at least there are remedial actions being taken and the people impacted are being invited into the conversations.
Or any/all of the wretched leftist boomers of every generation and their septum-pierced, purple-haired, screeching progeny…
Or Oregon
Especially those in Cali.
Insert any Northern blue state!
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.
TDS in Canada is kinda like Covid all over again. When do the masks start?
Nobody voted for Mark Carney.
exactly, SM
mind boggling so many believe free and fair elections exist
No Citizens voted for the EU leadership. The People do not matter. Canada, UK, and EU have signed on to reducing the number of eaters. So has Australia and New Zealand. “Hide the Decline”.
How many primary votes for POTUS did Kamala receive?
Uhhh, hold on… let me mull this over a bit… was it… zero? And, if I am not mistaken, Mattressback did not garner a single primary vote in 2020 either.
“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
The Plan was to take down the western nations simultaneously so that it appeared to be “just how it goes”. They could gaslight us as our lives decayed.
PDJT ruined it for them.
Now, Canada and western Europe get to watch the USA become a bastion of Freedom, Economic might, Safety from foreigners, massive wealth growth of the Middle and Working classes, and the Golden Age of America.
The economic and social differences will be massive. There will be no hiding it. Then their citizens/subjects will finally see that they were lied to. The anger will be gigantic.
I don’t know. We still have hordes of citizens in this country that still can’t/won’t see and understand how great we have it.
Simple solution for that: People Swaps (as I call it;)
We swap our loony lefties for their conservatives.
Done and done.
I do not think those citizens will know. During the Biden/Obama years our government was imprisoning us. The EU will do it to their citizens.
The EU already is!!!
At ease. Quebec is going to the polls. The Bloc Quebecois are in front and their mandate is separation. Pipelines are going to be the last thing on Carney’s mind. The 51st and 52nd state? No U S Steel and no resources to make anything he is promising possibl? It’s all a mountain of lies.
Alberta, come on down!
The Trudeau years killed what was left of Canada.
Add Covid, the truckers and financial shutdown for any and all involved including go fund me donations!
God Bless, Donald J. Trump for working to Make America Great Again.
Chinese steel, indeed. = Let me quote from a >long ‘Bing Co-pilot’ explanation because it is very pertinent.
“San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge and the Chinese Steel ControversyThe San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge was rebuilt between 2006 and 2013 after earthquake damage from the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. The project became one of California’s most costly and controversial public works, with final costs about $5 billion over budget and a 10‑year delay
Why Chinese Steel Was UsedAccording to Caltrans and some officials at the time, U.S. steelmakers could not produce the specific high‑strength steel grades required for the bridge’s critical components.
California politicians also rejected federal funding that would have mandated American steel
. The bridge’s decks and major structural parts were fabricated in China by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC), a state‑owned firm with no prior bridge‑building experience.
Reported ProblemsMultiple investigations and expert testimony found serious quality and safety issues:
Brittle steel: Metallurgical experts testified the BD‑grade steel was too brittle for seismic conditions.Cracked bolts and rods: Long metal rods began snapping in 2013; some anchor rods were found to be up to 6 inches shorter than others.Hydrogen embrittlement: Linked to the steel grade, this caused cracking and reduced ductility..Corrosion and weld defects: Water leaks and poor welds led to rust and required repairs on all 750 panels.Inspection issues: At least one inspector was found to have falsified data.
.Safety and Political ResponseThen‑Governor Jerry Brown famously downplayed concerns, saying “I mean, look, $h*% happens”
. Structural engineers warned that a single component failure could lead to collapse
. Despite these issues, the bridge opened in 2013, and some problems were later repaired, but the controversy over Chinese steel remains a major part of the project’s history.
Key Takeaways
The Bay Bridge’s rebuild used Chinese‑made steel and labor due to political and supply‑chain decisions, not because U.S. capacity was unavailableTechnical and safety concerns were raised by engineers and inspectors, but not all were acted upon at the timeThe project is now a case study in infrastructure risk, cost overruns, and the challenges of outsourcing critical public works.In short, the Bay Bridge was rebuilt with Chinese steel, and while some issues have been addressed, the controversy over its quality, safety, and procurement remains unresolved in public debate.”

Bradford White water heaters. They only sell to contractors.
Retired Magistrate here: Thankfully we live in an old school big ranch built in 1956 and enlarged and remodeled in 1972; old growth wood windows and double pane pella glass, alcoa aluminum backer board siding, all copper plumbing even the waste lines, wood floors some of which are covered with 1972 wool carpeting with wool underlayment which is still in good shape along with vintage appliances.
We have an American Made fuel oil furnace and most of what we buy is from estate sales and old enough to be made in America. Our toilets are circa 1956 pink and 1972 olive green and flush great and we have a good well. So what we have is not “updated” but it works. If something needs fixing, we fix it rather than replace it. Guess I am showing my age 79, I grew up with make do or do without and it has served me well over the years.
About those great old toilets … years ago a friend of told an absolutely hilariosu story of his being caught at the Canadian-US border bringing in a toilet. The US had adopted some water-saving standard, with the result that the things never flushed properly. He was caught red-handed.
The dialogue with the US Customs agent was hilarious … “Look, man, I’m not a drug dealer or anything — I just want to be able to take a dump in my own home …” somehow he managed to get it through with a small fine.
Amen, Marcia! Being country-raised, I learned, at a very young age, how to fix anything, or figure out what to use for a substitute. With a good-sized “boneyard” on the ranch, it was always a challenging adventure. And gave me the confidence to succeed in life.
I’m driving a 1979 squarebox chevy truck and a 1983 American motors corporation jeep cj7 both easily maintained by yours truly.
The longest lasting Chinese product was Covid 19. I hope Canada loves being the next belt and road project of the CCP
Chinese steel is green, will rust and the pipeline will leak like a sieve.
I personally know of a case where a high-pressure, high-volume gas well in Louisiana was completed with Chinese pipe.
The salty old engineer who was manager over the whole project specifically told the buyers “do not buy that pipe” because he knew it did not meet specs.
The buyer thought he’d “save some money”. So while the engineers in charge thought they had set the rule to follow, a knucklehead did not follow orders.
The Chinese pipe got installed down hole. It failed.
The best gas well in the field was lost, the engineers could not restore production. The “low cost” Chinese pipe failed and destroyed multiple millions of dollars worth of an asset.
Imagine the fireball of explosion when that off-spec CCP junk fails while filling a huge LNG tanker.
Not just dollars lost, lives will be lost.
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.“

Does this fall under the Belt and Road category, when China ends up owning them?
Free oil for China in exchange for carbon credits!
Not to nit-picky, but “standard operating procedure” (SOP) is incorrect. It is actually “standing operating procedure.” I hear this mis-used many times. Standing allows for change/update. Another common phase I hear is “irregardless” and that is not a word. Just an aside, excuse me. I’ll get off my soap box.
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.
Yep, blame the boomers homer. Broken record.
Oh and digital ID is already here.
I’m a boomer.
I always disliked the hippies, today’s boomer class; they are the ones who had Trudeau mania in the late 60s and early seventies.
They are the ones who voted in Trudeau Junior, the drama teacher and snowboard instructor.
It’s not a mystery; it’s not my personal opinion
A line from https://niagaraindependent.ca/boomers-veus-millennials/
or any other source you care to search
”The overwhelming advantage boomers have enjoyed as a voting bloc has allowed them to determine Canada’s government for the past six decades. As the boomers voted, so went the country.”
Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa decide all national elections.
Polls show that the Canadian boomers are the ones keeping the Liberals in power. Yes, it is blame the boomers on this one.
Just hope and pray we don’t get the digital dollar. The government will have control of what you can purchase. Does “I’m sorry, I can’t allow you to do that” ring any bells?
So far, nope.
They can’t control you now?
Amazon won’t sell me a high-flow shower head or now, dog poop bags in California.
“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.
Planned obselescence. When it messes up, we “fix” it. Kind of like health care. Why cure something when you can have a constant money flow…..to you.
Belt and road 2.0?
Makes sense to me. Why not cripple your economy and impoverish your subjects. After all, all of that coal burning smoke from China’s steel mills and other industrial installations will obviously have the good manners to dutifully hover over China and will never, ever disperse throughout the atmosphere, eh?
Besides, think of the massive upside from all of the virtue signalling that you can do!!!
Chinese junk steel?
Now, what could go wrong with that?🙈
No need to imagine; some USA-China common items are stress-tested.
The common sentiment that China produces a lot of inferior products is well-earned.
Selling their soul.
I don’t want China getting a foothold on our border.
Too late I’m sorry to say. The CCP is embedded in every walk of life up here. The leading expert on this topic is Sam Cooper.
https://www.thebureau.news/
I highly recommend reading a few of the articles on his site to get a sense of their involvement in Canadian politics at all levels from Carney to the local Town officers. As well the armed forces, RCMP and Border forces top brass.
Plus ownership and operation of Fentanyl and most other drugs production and shipping to America, gambling, real estate, business and technology ownership and investment, money laundering etc.
Don’t underestimate how deeply entangled Carney and Brookfield are with the CCP, and their goal along with the WEF, to destroy President Trump’s new America.
America is the last remaining barrier to the implementation of their New World Order.
We do tend to make fun of other downward spiraling countries, yet we have the same problems here in blue cities/states. Even red ones. Trump has reinvigorated our economy and has had major deportations. 4 years to make us superior, with enemies waiting, watching, standing on and inside our border. One more non maga candidate, a Obama or Biden and we’ll be just like these EU fools!
We can cause economic havoc for China perhaps.
Chyna steel is mixed w clay..it’s like cast iron, not strong.
this will be another faulure of the Carnival Barker
I’d be more concerned with the pipeline transfer equipment and automated/remotely controlled valves, etc. You can bet your bottom dollar that it will be Chinese-made, custom built for that project so they can’t be easily replaced, and will have extra programming as a “break glass in case of war” precaution.
Eventually when you sell your soul to China, they will start telling you how to run your Coun try which means they will overtake your Country.
Canadians seem to be “stuck on stupid”.
‘Eventually, this reality is going to hit the psyche of the Canadian electorate.’
This is a question of timing for the globalists. They don’t care that the electorate will, may, question why. This is about timing. All the globalists need is for it to be too late by the time the people wake up-thus, lying is delaying. Too late for the people to meaningfully act. Look at the EU and illegal immigration. The leadership lied to the public and now the public has awoken and they have been conquered. It is too late.
Canadians are indeed very difficult to talk to about Canada as views from an American perspective.
They are a combination of insecure and prideful and resentful. Sort of like the kid in your neighborhood whose older brother is the toughest and coolest kid.
🎯 💯 Except I think (hope) it’s not universal.
When I came to Canada from England almost 30 years ago I worked with Liberal elites in Canada (mostly Ottawa, T.O. and Vancouver) and Coastal elites in the US, often at board-level, in big FIs and big consumer sector companies. I was amazed at how most of the these Canadians looked down on or even despised Americans. And neither group worked or socialized with the lower classes. Not what I expected!
12 years later I switched industries and for the last 16 years I’ve been working with founders, owners and management of mid-sized manufacturing and service companies, across Canada and in what the elite patronizingly call flyover America.
These seem to me to be the real Canadians and Americans that I expected to find. Solid good-hearted, hard-working and mostly Christian family types. Salt of the earth. They have a lot in common between the two countries and still seem to respect each other.
But in the last couple of years, competitive virtue signalling of TDS has become the overarching obsession of the first group above, and it seems to be still spreading and growing in intensity.
Because the MSM and national pollsters here are entirely bought and paid for by the Liberals, people outside Canada tend think we’re all of the same mind. I don’t think we are, but I do sense the numbers of TDS-addled woketards is still rising because of the MSM and pollsters psyop.
liberal carney good luck with communist propaganda,
i feel sorry for none liberal of canadian’s,
They call their inferior building materials, ‘tofu dreg’
All the Climate Cultists have gutted their own industrial / heavy manufacturing capabilities.
Canadian citizens seem to dumb to know they no longer own their country.
You have to wonder will they do anything about it?
“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.”
USA must build one of these mega-manufacturing yards. Best place would be Ingleside, Texas.
The real reasons they need to buy from China
Lack of Domestic Fabrication Yards: According to LNG Canada, there are no fabrication yards in Canada capable of manufacturing and delivering the massive, complex processing modules required for a project of this magnitude
The Marine Access & Scale Constraint: These industrial modules are roughly the size of a football field and up to 10 stories high. Because they cannot be transported to Kitimat by road or rail, they must be built at a facility with direct access to tidewater (marine access) so they can be shipped entirely by sea.
LNG Canada stated that only five fabrication yards globally possess the rare combination of physical space, manufacturing capacity, specialized quality systems, and deep-water marine loading access required for this scope of work.
the pipeline requires new compressor stations that are targeting nearly 15,000 tons of steel from Canadian suppliers, accounting for roughly 70% of the steel required for that specific pipeline infrastructure.
There are no fabrication yards in the US that match the specific scale, capacity, and specialized setups used by the mega-yards in China for a project like LNG Canada Phase 2
Building LNG pipeline with cheap, sketchy Chinese steel? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I hope our President will make sure none of that crosses the US border.
The US has extensively purchased large fabricated modules from China for its own multi-billion-dollar LNG export plants. That is a fact you can look up.
Canada’s clean energy policy blocks the country from creating heavy industrial components
I’m reminded of a Spanish steel mill owner who fled Spain because of energy policies. When asked what specifically was the issue, he said, “You can make windmills with steel but you cannot make steel with windmills.”
Waiting for the wind to pick up to power the arc furnace🙄
Self-Deception is the most powerful deception…
Defective steel one hopes.
This is an environmental disaster waiting to happen.
I hope the US isn’t hurt when the cheap Chinese steel erodes and oil gushes out of the pipeline…
It’s not a oil pipeline
I am praying for all of the Canadian Treepers who understand the truth and who are currently in harms way because of the wickedness of Carney.
As for those Canadians who hate America and who see Carney as their hero-you are ignorant Snow Mexicans and I will enjoy watching as your world crumbles at your feet.
FAFO = Karma is a bi***.
”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.”
neither does the US. The US has extensively purchased large fabricated modules from China for its own multi-billion-dollar LNG export plants.
Does anyone know anything about the Algoma Steel mill in Sioux Sault Marie, Canada ?
They are transitioning to all electric:
“We are making a multi-year, multi-million-dollar investment in Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking which will transform our business and establish Algoma as a North American producer of green steel. The EAF will enhance our product’s quality, increase production, and reduce carbon emissions by up to 70%, creating value for all stakeholders and ensuring the benefits of our steel endure for generations to come.”
They are also requiring massive amounts of electricity wired in from nuclear and hydro plants elsewhere in Canada. Destroying acres and acres of land for hte high volume transmission lines.
Will it be a no-bid contract and a steal?
As I understand the situation there are many many regulatory hurdles that must be resolved before pipe 1 hits the ground in Canada.
Wiser people than myself say this pipeline is not going to happen any time soon.
I wonder if the “Chinese steel” will be the same quality as they use for TOFU Dreg projects they build for their “Belt and Road” sucker countries?
Canada, “The Global Energy Superpower” is Net Zero.
They’re going to use inferior Chinese steel to build an LNG pipeline?
That will prove to be a ticking time bomb. How short sighted and devoid of long range projection.
Haven’t we all experienced the result of choosing an inferior product over time?
Chinese steel quality is a real issue. Canada should not ignore that.

More proof that Doug Ford was right about threat of Chinese spy cars
https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/more-proof-ford-right-chinese-spy-cars
The question CBC puts to Carney: “Is Phase II of LNG Canada going to be built with Chinese steel, like Phase I, or will it be built with Canadian steel?”
Carney’s answer: “Ahh…it’s a great question for the proponents of Phase II…ahh…Theyve taken their first…uhh…investment decision…umm…the process runs for…uhh…the next five or six years. I’ll leave it to them on the precise timing in the early 2030s when expected to be operational…(long pause)…umm)…there will be full opportunity to buy Canadian steel and we’ll continue to invest in the Canadian steel industry to make sure that’s the case…but it will be for them to decide.”
Answers like that are why Chrystia Freeland is so bullish on the Canadian economy!
The Canadian press indicates this will be in the planning discussion stage for the next year, and has attracted no private investors. The environmentalists are displeased. The entire project is a verbal plan in anticipation of elections, and at odds with Agenda 2030’s Sustainable Development Goals. Vancouver BC is a C40 city, and the tentative port (Roberts Bank, up the Frasier River) is an area with protected resident killer whales and salmon. The ships would then enter the Salish Sea, and American environmentalists from the Seattle area would also object.
This is a campaign proposition, not a business plan.
The Kititas pipline is for the LNG, Roberts Bank is for the oil part of the plan.

The Enviros are dishonest! If they oppose the fabrication of products that require fossil fuels, then they should also oppose the use of any product that is fabricate using fossil fuels. In this case, steel for a pipeline. The Canadian leadership should tell their people that the pipeline cannot be built with steel and that the production of LNG in Canada will be prohibited.
“We’re unleashing our full potential as a global energy superpower!” says Mark Carney
But all that energy is in fossil fuels, Mister Carney…and you hate fossil fuels!
I just did an AI search on your long-held positions on fossil fuels and here’s what it said:
“Mark Carney has stated that “the vast majority of Earth’s remaining reserves of oil, gas, and coal must be left in the ground to avoid catastrophic climate change.” He has consistently warned that excessive investment in fossil fuels poses significant risks to financial stability and the environment.”
So I guess what you’re telling us is you really can have your cake and eat it too?
