🇨🇦 Ukraine seeks 30-year energy pact with Canada, minister says

Thirty years. That is the ask. While Canadians get sermonized about affordability, energy transition, and endless restraint at home, Ottawa is apparently lining up a 30-year strategic energy commitment abroad plus $650 million in direct grant support so Ukraine can buy gas for winter, as reported. Canadian LNG, Canadian equipment, Canadian SMR know-how, Canadian cash. The ruling class always finds ambition when the bill lands on this country.

And notice the pattern: Mark Carney and Tim Hodgson are right in the middle of it, wrapping foreign commitments in the holy language of energy security. Translation: sovereignty for everyone except Canada. Our resources are treated as tools for global strategy first and national prosperity second. A 30-year arrangement is not emergency assistance, it is a long-horizon political lock-in dressed up as virtue. Trudeau-era habits die hard: moral exhibitionism abroad, strategic drift at home, and taxpayers expected to clap while their own country is managed like a branch office for elite priorities.
