Weren't there discussions to start buying LNG from Canada as well? In fact even Carney spoke about that if I remember correctly.

Yes, and apparently that is going through. I think the idea that Europe will be "dependent" on America is highly overstated.

Trudeau said no for environmental reasons.
He said no because there was no market demand for it, and then reversed position in 2022 when there suddenly became market demand.
He was asked by foreign leaders in Europe. He claimed there was demand but at the time Europe was buying Russian gas which was funding Ukraine war and Europe was seeking alternatives.
Carney made announcements couple days ago.
Like US would allow that to happen. This has been discussed for over a decade.
quebec has been the main difficulty.
not favourable to taking risks of pipelines spilling on Quebecois land, while not getting much value our of it.
per Mark Carney, he's interested in pipeline projects, maybe through to churchill instead of going through Quebec, but so far no private company is interested in investing.
