As the world faces an energy cruch and Europe an energy crisis, we look at what ultimately happened to multi-billlion-dollar energy projects which were set to be built and put into operation in Canada, delivering significant revenue to our national treasury and providing our allies with the energy they and the world still require. 

What happened to projects like Teck's Frontier mine, Northern Gateway and the Energy East pipelines? There was the Pacific Northwest LNG pipeline and British Columbia export terminal, as well as the Prince Rupert LNG project. Is it possible in today's Canadian regulatory environment to satisfy the process to build an oil or natural gas project from the start and how many years will securing permits take? Is investment money for Canada dried up because investors don't believe Canada is willing to bring its vast resources to the international marketplace?
