As I recall, the first shipment from Sabine Pass was last year so yes, USA is indeed an LNG exporter. 

What I meant to say is that American companies have grand plans for all that shale gas and envision large-scale exports of LNG, on a scale that might intrude on Qatari markets.

As for Canadians gazing at our navels, prices for gas (including LNG) remain depressed, our conventional gas reserves are in terminal decline, and we may find that all that BC gas will be needed by our grandkids. Natural gas is a precious resource and we shouldn't be in a great hurry to sell it off, especially at basement prices.
