This stirs up serious memories for me, as I was the Canadian reporter in 2016 who asked presidential candidate Donald Trump if he would approve the Keystone XL Pipeline. He said he would, but “he wanted a piece.”
Here we are in 2023, and a Canadian Press reporter challenged President Joe Biden on cancelling the Keystone XL and delaying the Line 5 project, but approving a new oil project in Alaska. And it turns out, math is hard.
I don’t know who that reporter was, but I’d buy him a bottle of 18-year old Scotch.
Also, there’s a hell of a lot said about energy in the joint statement released by Trudeau and Biden. And some in his speech to Parliament, too.
I suspect a very large piece of the Keystone XL Pipeline is already American owned just like most of our industry.
I remember talk of a lawsuit a while ago. I hope they sue and get all the money.
The reason for this hypocrisy is simple: Biden and his cohort are really just interested in shutting down competition for his buddies like Steier, Brown, and large US petrochemical companies. See Michael Shellenberger’s excellent book ’Apocalypse Never’ or Vivian Krause’ prolific writings for more on the topic.
Trump: Art of The Deal (build the Keystone pipeline)
Trudeau: Rancor of The Steal (carbon taxes)
…Trump failed to get the pipeline built. More like ‘Art of the Fail’.
seems it was entirely in the hands of the empty hair at the time.
Funny, TransCanada was building it, not Trump. It was also mostly completed when your bumchum Biden shut it down.
True.
A joint statement from the President and Prime Minister, it’s a no brainer.
I see what you did there.
Shutting down American and Canadian pipelines, while drilling in Alaska makes perfect sense.
Alaskan oil has to be shipped. China has ships. Math works.
