This week, German firms announced a 15-year contract to buy roughly two million tonnes of LNG per year of Qatari natural gas.rare official visitAt the outset of 2022, Russia was meeting roughly 50 per cent of Germany’s natural gas needs. When the Russian invasion of Ukraine left Scholz scrambling for alternative sources, he was quite open about Canadian gas being his first choice.Article content

Canada was right not to skip out on the Qatar World CupOTTAWA—In Ottawa, only a few would think the most interesting recent live-televised broadcast was the Public Order Emergency Commission. While it has made for some OK content in the last 10 days, it is fair to say the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has captured more eyeballs, particularly when our Canadian team has hit the field. While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered a different and more favourable shot of himself during his testimony before the commission on Nov. 25, I am going to go out on a limb here and bet more Canadians saw Alphonso Davies score Canada’s first-ever men’s World Cup goal on Nov. 27. Unfortunately, Davies’ history-making moment was overshadowed by the four goals Canada’s opponent Croatia scored to convincingly win the game and halt our team’s march forward in the tournament. Most of the Ottawa-based political discussion of late has been on that inquiry looking into whether the Trudeau government was justified in invoking the Emergencies Act last winter. But discussions outside of Ottawa and around the globe have centred on the World Cup in Qatar. If you Google Qatar and human rights, or Qatar and FIFA—soccer’s controversial, and in some quarters disgraced, governing body—you will know why. If you have not been living under a rock, you’ll have a sense of it, too. There is a large swath of the world that passionately believes Qatar should not have been awarded the World Cup for everything from its human rights record to the controversial manner in which it won the right to host the tournament more than a decade ago. For more on that and FIFA’s challenged culture, I highly recommend the Netflix documentary FIFA Uncovered, which was released to coincide with soccer’s global showcase. Not unlike the discourse around whether China—given its less-than-stellar record of human rights and other global acts of destabilization—should have hosted last winter’s Beijing Olympics, the question of Canada’s participation and attendance in Qatar has been raised
