OTTAWA -- A controversial gas pipeline that links to Russia beneath the Baltic Sea could be part of a broader package of sanctions should Russia invade Ukraine, says Germany's ambassador to Canada.
"When it comes to an invasion or attack on Ukraine, everything is on the table. And that includes Nord Stream," Sparwasser said in an interview Friday. Sparwasser said the need to find clean new energy sources to reduce reliance on fossil fuels has a direct link to the pipeline politics that Germany is now embroiled in as part of the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
The Trudeau government has faced criticism from political opponents and environmental groups over the fact that Canada's carbon emissions actually rose from 2015 to 2019, the most recent years for which data is available. Sparwasser also made clear that Canada and Germany share the same view of the broader global security challenge posed by authoritarian countries such as Russia and China.
C’mon man...Without gas from Russia (that isn’t being stolen by Ukraine - to go with the huge “loans” from the west) Germany and the rest of Europe will freeze their private parts...after their industries collapse.
