PM says Canada’s envoy to the U.S., is pressing Ottawa’s case with the incoming Biden administration

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. president-elect Joe Biden walk down the Hall of Honour on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Dec. 9, 2016.Canada won’t stop trying to convince U.S. president-elect Joe Biden of the merits of the Keystone XL pipeline expansion, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted Tuesday.

And he acknowledged the elephant in the room: that Biden’s campaign team promised back in May that it would do precisely what transition documents suggest will happen Wednesday. Those documents, reviewed by The Canadian Press, suggest an executive order rescinding the presidential permit issued by Donald Trump is among the items on Biden’s Day 1 to-do list.

It has long been a linchpin in Canada’s strategy for boosting fossil-fuel exports by delivering Alberta’s landlocked underground energy resources to tidewater.

it knows that no chance to fulfill the vow, just to make a favor to make the oppositor happy for a while.

Ok... Renewable energy is the only future.

What a waste of time. Oil needs to be replaced and Albertans aren't going to vote Liberal even if the pipeline is secured. Let's move on, shall we?

Pfff, smoke and mirrors, “build back better” doesn’t involve pipelines.

He must think Biden is as stupid as he thinks Canadians are

This is why Steven Guilbeault will remain invisible.

'Fight to convince Biden'? Does he actually think anyone in Canada buys this either as an bona fide action or as even a remote possibility?

Well, at least there are people reasonable in the new administration who realize effort other countries are making and the difficulty in decreasing oil consumption as oil is a valuable resource used in most of our daily lives.

Sure...

don't hold your breath. it's as close a done deal

Yeah, right.
