Turbine shipment to Germany to defuse weaponization of energy by Russia: Trudeau
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is defending Canada’s decision to return six turbines for a pipeline that carries natural gas from Russia to Europe, even as the Ukrainian World Congress looks to stop the shipment in Federal Court.
The Liberals’ decision to grant Siemens Canada an exemption to deliver the equipment to Germany while it has sanctions in place against the Russian regime has earned it sharp rebuke from the Ukrainian government and critics at home.

Gas pipeline shutdown starts amid German suspicion of Russia
A major gas pipeline from Russia to western Europe shut down for annual maintenance on Monday as Germany prepared to give the green light for 10 coal-fired power plants to restart amid concerns that Russia may not resume the flow of gas as scheduled.
The Nord Stream 1 pipeline runs under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany and is the latter’s main source of Russian gas. Gas is usually sent onward to other countries as well. It is scheduled to be out of action until July 21 for routine work that the operator says includes “testing of mechanical elements and automation systems.” The operator’s data showed the gas flow dropping as planned on Monday morning.

Brian Crossman: Just hired! Now let’s keep them hired!
In my last column (for those three people that read my stuff in order) we discussed what the new employee can do to get that job and do well at it. Well, at least we hope so. But this is only half the story. It is up to a few other people to make this symbiotic relationship work out. The employers, the HR departments, managers and co-workers all have a hand in making this brand new relationship work. Us old-school guys have an archaic way of thinking that the new hire is there to work hard, do our bidding and make us happy. That may have been kinda true at one time (I said true, not right) but it sure isn’t today. Let’s have a look at this and see if we can figure it out together.
Royal Helium develops plan for maximizing helium extraction from Nazare, begins drilling at Val Marie
SASKATOON – Royal Helium started drilling for helium near Climax, Saskatchewan, in January, 2021. So far, they have punched four holes there, and two northwest of Ogema, with Val Marie next on the agenda. But once they found helium, the key thing was figuring out how to maximize its extraction.
To do that, the company turned to the University of Regina’s petroleum engineering department, and specifically to Dr. Gary Zhao, P.Eng, to model drilling scenarios for the Nazare reservoir. On July 5, Royal announced their results

Feds pay lip service, but show little action, Saskatchewan’s energy minister says after energy ministers conference
The federal, provincial and territorial energy ministers just met in their annual conference, and Saskatchewan’s minister was wholly unimpressed with the result.
Minister of Energy and Resources Jim Reiter spoke to Pipeline Online from St. John’s just after getting out of the conference on July 7, and he was rather incredulous that the federal government hardly even wanted to mention the word “oil” in their drafts of the final communique.
This, despite the fact that the Ukraine war has Europe crying out for energy that is not sourced from Russia.
