Canada's new Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is putting pressure on Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government to back new liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects as European countries reach out in a bid to plug energy shortfalls.
In August, Trudeau said "there has never been a strong business case" for LNG terminals on the east coast during a visit by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who came seeking a "major role" for Canada in replacing Russian supplies.
