Russia has already shown itself willing to cut off gas supplies as it has done to Ukraine. What would stop it doing so in the event of a breakdown of diplomatic relations between Moscow and Berlin, or Moscow and Brussels? As Europe becomes ever more reliant on Russian gas to keep warm in the winter, its ability to chastise Russia is weakened. –City A.M., 20 March 2018

Russian diplomats being banned from many countries will result in Russia shutting down natural gas to Europe. The Trudeau Liberals have caved in to environmental jihadists, passed control of Government to a pissy little Montreal mayor and ended up banning pipelines to Eastern Canada. These pipelines could be supplying almost endless natural gas to Europe and in turn, creating massive income for Canada. This income could be used to support technology to reduce energy use but instead, Trudeau is taxing the hell out of Canadians with his ignorant Trudeau Carbon Tax.
Trudeau, his stunned climate barbie, and the Liberal Party seriously HATE Canada and intend to destroy this country. Trudeau, climate barbie, and the Liberals are dangerous and offensive.
Justin Trudeau has made himself one of the most hated people in Canada.
