Japan LNG project in Canada is cancelled after talks fail
A $3.5 billion plan to export Canadian LNG to Japan was scrapped after the LNG buyers group could not agree with the four Japanese utilities. The scheme would have built a Grassy Point plant near Prince Rupert and involved a $1 billion fleet of LNG tankers and a $2 billion facility plus a $500 million pipeline from Alberta. Uncertainty over oil and gas prices and unfavorable finance terms for Alberta producers led to the cancellation. The energy sector largely shrugged at the setback.

Horsman Defends Free Trade Against Cultural Fears
Alberta Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Jim Horsman says cultural sovereignty worries are tactics by opponents to block a U S free trade deal. He spoke to about 80 supporters in Medicine Hat after being acclaimed Tory candidate and announced a provincial ministers team to define Alberta's role in talks. Horsman cites Maple Leaf Mills closure and argues Canada relies on international trade for 30 percent of GNP while the U S trades more of its economy freely.
