Sure it is, Canada sends energy to Europe to supplement energy lost through European idiocy. Gas prices in Canada are going up right now directly as a result of all this. We live in a connected world buddy.

If you say so buddy, so you can give me some data to back this up. How much energy (exactly what do you mean by that?) Canada sends to the EU and how much is it in proportion to its national supply?

Here's what Canada committed to back in March https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/news/canada-will-boost-oil-exports-to-replace-russian-energy/

The other aspect is that energy prices overall are going up as a result of shortages of gas and oil. This affects prices in Canada domestically. Kind of amazing that you're trying to pretend prices are going up for any other reason than trying to cut Europe off from Russian energy.

You're starting to sound very very very vague here... This article is about oil and mentions that the amount of that Canada is exporting is not substantial in any way as it has vast supplies. Also, oil is not gas, it is used to produce fuel. Oil prices went up mainly because of the OPEC decision, and secondly because of the worldwide inflation...

I don't know what you find vague about the fact that energy prices are going up across the world as a result of the economic war. OPEC decision itself is a response to western countries trying to control the price of oil through price caps. Meanwhile, inflation is also being driven by this. Once again, we live in a connected world economic system that the west has been destabilizing since February. These are the results.
