Kenney admonishes the federal's decision to return turbines to Germany for Russian pipeline

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Jul 18, 2022 2:27 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has admonished the federal government for its controversial decision to send parts of a Russian natural gas pipeline back to Germany.

In a video posted to social media yesterday, Kenney accused the Liberals of impeding efforts to export responsible Canadian energy to Europe while helping Russian leader Vladimir Putin's Russian state-owned energy company Gazprom.

Canada agreed earlier this month to grant an exemption to the economic sanctions issued against Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine, allowing six turbines being repaired in Montreal to be returned to Germany for use in the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

Kenney says the move will allow Putin to continue to generate revenue for his war machine.
