Canada Just Doubled Its Bet on Selling Gas to Asia — A Small B.C. Town Is at the Center

In 2025, the people of Kitimat, British Columbia, lived under a flame that rose above their town for months. Canada is the world's fifth-largest natural gas producer, yet for generations its exports went south by pipeline. This video asks what changes now that a plant on the Pacific coast is set to double its output, and whether a second door to Asia is really opening. The video walks through the gas itself, the cooling process that lets it cross an ocean, and the tight trade ties between Canada and the United States. It then follows the first tanker to South Korea, the fjord where the terminal sits, and the five companies that own the plant. From there it moves to the Phase 2 decision, its price tag and timeline, the pipeline that feeds it, and the flare stack problem regulators have recorded. It ends with the equipment sourced from China and a simple test for every claim: what is measured, what is announced, and what is still unproven.
