Given Trudeau\u0027s reaction, it’s hard to blame Biden for believing that cancelling Keystone wouldn\u0027t cost him much political capital

The move was not unexpected, given that Biden had campaigned on cancelling the project. But after four years of strained relations, reversing course and allowing construction to continue would have sent a strong signal that the incoming administration intended to mend the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and Canada. That is, if there was any reason to believe that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government would have welcomed such a gesture.

For years now, Canada’s oil and gas sector has been struggling, plagued by a lack of pipeline capacity and a steep discount in the price of Western Canadian Select crude. The industry has pinned its hopes on the construction of new pipelines, and although there have been numerous proposals over the years, they have all been mired in setbacks, raising the question of whether this country is even up to the task of doing big things anymore.

The company had planned to spend $1.7 billion to power pump stations along the entire line with renewable energy and pour $10 million into a “green job training fund.” The pipeline’s construction would have generated upwards of 60,000 direct and indirect jobs, many of them unionized, on both sides of the border.

What a mess of hypocrisy ! At the end, you agree with the liberal_party ! “...but we understand the value of forging a good relationship with whoever occupies the White House” This paper is a farce.

To all of you who think that trudeau did all he could to save keystone you are kidding yourselves, he never promoted CDN energy in fact he did the opposite. Ask yourself this, if Canada canceled a US based multi billion$ project would the US President just roll over as JT did?

Liberals like to bend over

JT Liberals bury Canadian unity hopes, prosperity, & avoiding bankruptcy. The oil will, already does, come from other countries. Oil essential for airlines, trains, ships, tractor-trailer transports. We already have lots of 'green' electricity, eg hydroelectric, nuclear.

Harper tried to move forward with a plan to make Canada a energy super power and it was an abject failure.

Canada used AB like a prostitute rode us,got wht they needed(lrg equalization payments),then when we were of no use they forgot we existed, I'm tired of being used by a country who treats us like we r parasites then imports dirty oil from high polluting countries,hypocrisy

Good. I’d hate to be annexed by the USA

The long term economic consequences for Canada will be huge - thanks to the libs complete mismanagement of Canada's energy sector.

Since this column references 🇨🇦 as an “energy superpower”, it is worth noting that notion was conceived by Harper. But he got not a millimetre of tidewater pipeline constructed. If he’d done more than suck and blow, all relevant pipelines wud have been built b4 Trudeau. cdnpoli

Justin Trudeau doesn't care Just for his small friends inside this country and outside. this things happen when your born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

Hey CANADA, the NPost & is suggesting it's okay for another country to have the ability to come into CANADA & tell us what we should be doing with our own land. Pretty cool, don't ya think?

😂

jkenney fordnation PLAN B, spend more taxpayers money 💰 on fighting green initiatives & killing more green jobs 🤔☠ eggs 🥚 Canada has the Trans Mountain Pipeline ⛰ but its wasn't jkenney greasy deal with Trump!

We should be building our own refineries, and using our own oil to sustain our country. Why are we relying on the US to refine? Biden is going to sink the US faster than the Titanic so we would be much better off.

Trudeau's promised to get these projects completed the right way . Since then we have seen Northern Gateway, Energy East, KXL evaporate . He had to buy TMX because Kinder Morgan told him to pound sand nice work Skippy.

Now the voter must burry the Liberal hopes.

Oil has nothing to do with becoming an energy superpower going forward. And ford did more to hurt that by canceling hundreds of millions in clean energy contracts. Thanks to him Ontario will end up with brownouts/blackouts once power plants start going offline at EOF!

We can still be an energy superpower.... if we sell to China.

Liberals think the world runs on wokeness. abpoli cdnpoli

Apparently now Canadian PM’s are directing US executive orders...

No, you got it all wrong first by inferring energy only means fossil fuels and secondly thinking Canada ( code for Trudeau ) is responsible for burying hopes. A small little man in Alberta did that!

Time time time for Trudeau to go. The revenues from our natural resources would pay for everyone vaccines plus. We need Canadian minded leadership

Canada. and superpower. In the same sentence. ... it's too early for this crap.

Skippy will fight global warming, resolve income inequality, promote indigenous reconciliation and protect minorities. What other priorities could Canadians possibly have right now?

Wasting a resource

'Superpower'?

Canadians know that Justin Trudeau has many outstanding qualities but surprisingly conservatives believe he also has the skill and intellectual capability to reverse a campaign promise from the new US President 🤷‍♂️

How is this the Liberals fault? Lol

Ok Hannity

Yep. It was the Liberals. They musta paid Biden to do it. I think the egg has finally slipped off the NP toast. Again.

Yeah...you aren't right leaning oil and gas lobbyists ... right?
