Anyone who has been watching developments in Australia, Russia and Qatar's LNG sectors - not to mention our neighbours to the south wh have opened terminals - saw this train wreck coming a mile away. The only way it might have made sense was as a hedge against events such as the sanctions that have befallen Qatar or a Russian implosion. For that to happen you need certainty on the permitting process and the understanding that the time to market will not be held up endlessly. Canada, especially BC with its greens and First Nations, can't provide this. On this measure our stable democracy has more political and social risk built in to it for developers than jurisdictions like Russia. Amazing.
