John Manley joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss how Canada can aid Europe amid the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. He says that Canadian natural gas exports could help aid European allies in becoming less dependent on Russian energy and that counter sanctions from Vladimir Putin are possible.

John tells BNN Bloomberg that Canada, "should be part of the solution for European reliance on Russian energy . . . it's time for us to get our liquefied natural gas off the east coast and into the European Union. I don't think it becomes so much an opportunity for Canadian suppliers as it is an obligation of Canada to our allies in Europe that we enable them to reduce their reliance on what has become, and could be for quite some time, a hostile power."
