Canada is preparing to start shipping their fossil gas (which they have a ~200 year supply in known reserves, ~1.3 trillion cubic feet) into the global LNG market (through the LNG Canada terminal in Kitimat, BC which is currently starting up/cooling down for cryogenic operations [1]) vs providing it to the US.

This will potentially (commodity market participant actions can be a challenge to predict) push up fossil gas prices in the US (which is also looking to lift an export ban from the Biden admin, which will further expose US fossil gas prices to the global market), forcing a faster transition to firmed renewables in the US [2] [3].
