[cbc.ca] - Warren Buffett's investment company Berkshire Hathaway has decided not to invest $4 billion in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant by the Saguenay port, according to Radio-Canada.

The marine terminal to ship LNG to overseas markets is slated to be built roughly 230 kilometres northeast of Quebec City, at a cost of $9.5 billion.

News broke Thursday morning in La Presse that Berkshire Hathaway was walking away from the project.

Stéphanie Fortin, head of communications for the company behind the project, GNL Québec, confirmed the company had lost a significant potential investor, but did not want to say who it is.

She did say, however, that the company lost the investor because of the "current Canadian political context."

Buffet's team does its homework, this is no impulsive decision. There is likely years of carefull detailed study that factored into the decision. It looks like woke anti-oil politics are being factored in to the regulatory risk models.

What’s else would you expect? Canada is being run by an epic and utter fool.
I hope his plane crashes, that’s the hope a Canadian can have!
