, which had been reading the same news reports as everyone else and had been preparing for Mr. Biden to follow through on his election promise. It is also not a death blow to the oil patch, he writes, which has seen conditions change considerably in the 13 years since Keystone XL was first proposed.
There are other options for moving crude to Alberta’s largest customer, and the industry is also grappling with a growing realization that a transition from fossil fuels is under way. There are also other pipelines under construction to export Canadian crude, including the replacement for Enbridge Inc.’s Line 3 to the Midwest and the Trans Mountain Expansion Project to the Pacific.along the route that had already been benefiting from construction work.That includes people like Emily Lai, whose small family restaurant in Oyen, Alta., about three hours east of Calgary, has been surviving on business from pipeline workers.
Mr. Kenney says the decision to target a previously approved project would set a troubling precedent and he argues that opposition to Keystone XL is based on outdated information about the project and about Alberta’s oil sands. He has repeatedly accused “foreign funded” environmentalists of targeting the industry, and on Wednesday he singled out members of Mr. Biden’s team.
The federal Liberals, which have long been a target for Mr. Kenney, have publicly supported the pipeline project but appear uninterested in taking up the fight.saying he was disappointing with the decision but accepts it, and his government has signalled repeatedly this week that it would rather work with Mr. Biden on other areas rather than dwell on Keystone.The Keystone decision is part of a wider effort from Mr. Biden to bring climate change back into focus for the United States. Mr.
I'm convinced Kenny is the only one who didn't see Biden veto coming
Why do many politicians ignore the reality that we need to pivot away from fossil fuels? They did not create the problem, but they need to be leading the change. Instead of trying protect fossil fuel business, start building alternatives.
Alberta needs a leader who will bring them not a new age. Less dependant in oil and gas and to offer a diverse economy.
Kinney is dreaming. I guess Kinney was put into power by oil and gas lobby, because that seems to be all he knows. He should note that every modern country wants to by of oil by 2030 to 2050. Maybe he should start thinking ahead.
With due respect, Jason Kenney is to blame for spending $1B On Keystone when he knew that there were better than even odds that there would be a new POTUS who would cancel it. Now he’s crying to the feds to bail him out. He should resign over such an ill advised decision .
Giddy-up JK....get a real job...taxpayers want want back the billions you gambled on Trump being re-elected.
Nope
And Canada should move on. Kenney needs to wear this.
Please do not bundle BC into 'western Canada' we think jkenney is a manchild too.
Look at how Trudope crosses his legs... Such a pansy.
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
Impeach him...
While I don’t agree with trade wars, I don’t trust and have faith in the govt to do what’s right for Alberta and the energy sector.
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!
Yeah, so this has no legs, but thank you Mr KKKenney for contributing to the entertainment newsfeed.
Good luck with that. Canada will be on the loosing end of that. Even our incompetent PM can figure that out.
GlobeBC Kenney is gasping for air now. Desperate enough to go on Fox News!
How come the media isnt even talking about Boris Johnson ,Trudeau,Biden ,Gates and more about their Build Bigger Better BS? WBrettWilson TheoFleury14
JT even sits like a girl! No wonder he has no balls.
We really do not need to keep the Trump attitude...it doesn’t look good on you
A lot of Monday morning quarterbacking going here by a bunch of stable geniuses who are definitely qualified to opine on cross border billion dollar business deals.
That pipeline was going to be a fucking disaster
If this was Quebec, Ottawa would not be moving on.
Biden is fullfilling his campaign promise on Keystone - Trudeau could keep his promise to not buy F 35 jets...
Trade War ? That is Ludicrous and Unacceptable !!!
JK and fossil fuels represents the past. Canada should be leading, not be dragged into the future by the US, of all countries. We have the resources and the talent. Let's get busy.
U.S. does full assessment and rejects pipeline. Crazy man becomes president and all on his own approves it. Project delayed by many law suits. Biden states that if elected, he will cancel the project. Kenney invests a boatload of money. Biden elected and cancels. Bad bet Jason.
Oh, so that's what Kenney looks like. I haven't seen him without his head up his ass.
jkenney is a child throwing a temper tantrum.🙄Why he expects anyone on either side of the border is beyond me.
Dear - out here in what you call 'Western Canada' we have provinces, they even have names! The province you want to name in the above story is Alberta. Looking forward to the day you stop using 'Western Canada'.
Kenny use the brain instead of ranting.
The Premier put his Money on Trump and Lost. Alberta Taxpayers Left Holding the Bag.
But Kenney is a moron soooo ...
Build a port terminal in Hudson Bay and run a pipeline from it to fort McMurray, just be done with this, oils and gas is never going away, this country starts needing to act like an oil power.
Kenney is simply trying to cover up his abject lack of vision, not having a plan B and his ensuing ridiculous decision to bet $1.5 Billion on a trump re-election. He was a lousy federal minister. He's a lousy provincial premier. The rest of Canada needs to ignore him.
What is with all this stupid talk of starting wars all the time and what wars of the many in the past ever resolved anything. Wars cause more damage and upheaval that last a lifetime often two or more.
Let me fixed this for you! Cons premiers want to go to war with the US over a pipeline. A war with a country they send almost of all their oil to...how god dam baize is that! Conservatives want to go to war...stick firecrackers up a ying yang of CEO! Such diplomatic skills!
The jobs affected aren't in Quebec so Trudeau couldn't care less.
Ottawa and the GTA moved on past any concern for Western Canadians long ago. Apparently, there's no such thing as equalization when the money's not flowing east.
Yeah, that makes about as much sense as the captain of the Titanic steering his ship into an iceberg, then, once it's sinking, cabling the steamship company to request it have a little talk with the ocean to see if it will change its mind. ableg
Huff & Puff Kenney should stay in his lane (although most Albertans also want him out of that lane).
Need to put out an amber alert for Canada's minister of tree planting he is missing in action .
PC is a piece of shit.
Sorry Canada but the Alberta sludge oil is a tough sell down here.
Kenney should be fired.
Great plan. Invest over $1B in something that was destined to fail and then propose a trade war over your lack of foresight.
Hamster demands trade war after cat ignores him and moves on.
Hey jkenney...the captain goes down with the ship. KeystoneXL
