He helped build the foundation of Canada’s LNG industry. Now he’s warning what happens if we don’t act.

In this episode of Power Struggle, Stewart Muir sits down with David Keane, former President of the BC LNG Alliance and Woodfibre LNG, to unpack the global rise of liquefied natural gas—and why Canada is falling behind.

With decades of experience in international energy, Keane offers a candid take on everything from Indigenous partnerships to emissions intensity, investor confidence, and the cost of political delay.

  • What’s stopping Canada from becoming a global LNG player?
  • Why is U.S. gas dominating the market?
  • And what happens when our resources are sold at a discount—while the world still needs them?

If you care about responsible development, economic opportunity, and climate realism, don’t miss this one.
