Teck Resources pulling application for Frontier oil sands mine

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Teck Resources Ltd. is pulling its application for the proposed Frontier oil sands mine.

According to one source, the board made the decision citing public safety concerns. The project had already passed a lengthy regulatory review and the federal cabinet was expected to decide whether it would green-light the mine on Tuesday.Senior officials with Teck called Indigenous leaders in Wood Buffalo to advise of the decision on Sunday, according to one source. Teck told them it wasn’t the right time to move forward on the project, according to the source.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney had made Frontier’s approval a key demand of the federal government last year, amid rising Western alienation and after the Liberals were shut out of Alberta and Saskatchewan in the fall election.

These are difficult times JustinTrudeau and I appreciate your calm leadership. Oil and Gas is over and you are on the right side of history. Ignore the dinosaurs in this thread.

there goes $20 billion dollars our Federal Government just showed the world Canada is closed for business

Conservative meltdown in 3.. 2... 1...

MHNJeremyAppel I was led to believe billions in tax cuts would fix the Alberta economy. My fragile conservative ideology is crumbling.

Between the financial situation and the fact Trudeau has shown he is incapable of leadership when faced with a crisis that puts not only projects but people in danger it's not really surprising

Here we go. All the nut jobs are going to be redlining tonight. cdnpoli

This is a company saying even if its approved in 48 hours we still dont have confidence that it'll get done and it'll be worth it Its official The left has just shut down our resource industry.

The board made a decision citing public safety concerns? Trudeau's support for the illegal blockaders is why the Teck mine was cancelled. God is punishing Canada with a horrible leader like Justin Trudeau.
