But even Trudeau's full-throated defence of the controversial cross-border project, which Biden appears poised to cancel on Wednesday, betrayed a note of resignation.

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.

The politically fraught project, originally proposed in 2008, aims to deliver more than 800,000 additional barrels a day of diluted bitumen from the Alberta oilsands to refineries along the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Skippy no one believes a word you say. Especially after you keep hitting us with your carbon tax scheme. It's all an act.

Add a buck to this and you can get a Timmy’s coffee...

Who wants to bet with me that JT already agreed with Biden to kill the Keystone XL? Does anybody remember when he pretended to buy the TMX and approve them, an hour after passing 2 Bills to kill them?

'Canada has, in the intervening few years, become a global leader in the fight against climate change and moving forward in transforming our economy in important ways towards reducing emissions,' Trudeau said. Canada is 20th:

Lol. Are you fucking kidding? Trudeau couldn’t give 2 fucks about this pipeline. His focus now is on controlling critical speech.

No shit, you know what the merits of the Keystone XL are? Like a bajillion fucking dollars for Canada. It's a bipartisan issue, and anyone against it is un-Canadian.

I call bullsh1t.
