@author_matthewflagler: Canada exported hydrocarbons to 112 countries in 2025. Sounds pretty diversified. Except 90.8% of the volume still went to the United States. 😂 That’s not because nobody else wants Canadian energy. It’s partly because decades of infrastructure were built around serving the enormous market directly south of us. But that’s beginning to change. The Trans Mountain expansion has given Canadian crude substantially more access to Pacific markets. LNG Canada is now shipping natural gas from British Columbia to Asia. And suddenly Canada has something it hasn’t historically had much of when it comes to energy: options. In Episode 5 of Beyond the US: Building an Independent Canada, we’re looking at what energy diversification actually requires — and the difficult questions that come with it. Who pays for new infrastructure? Who owns it? How should Indigenous communities participate in the wealth it creates? And how does Canada reconcile new export infrastructure with its environmental and climate commitments? Because reducing dependence on the United States doesn’t mean abandoning our largest customer. It means making sure they’re not the only realistic customer we’ve got. And unfortunately… FedEx still isn’t taking LNG. 😂 #canada #energy #tradewar #diversification #economy
