Ghost of XL haunts U.S.

Chuckle!

Our suspected next PM just can’t resist.

Of course it is far too late to even think about rescuing XL but it is fun to watch the politicians reactions. Instead they will have to beg the Saudi’s, Venezuelans, Mexico and perhaps Africans for whatever they can spare? I wonder … have they considered asking Iran?

Ghost of Keystone XL haunts U.S. as drivers feel pain at the pump

Michelle Zadikian, BNN Bloomberg

As North Americans continue to feel pain at the pump from surging gasoline prices, the issue of energy security and how to bring down the rising cost of living is front and centre for government officials in Canada and the U.S.

However, for the … administration, the decision to quash the Keystone XL pipeline project continues to be a key talking point more than a year after the U.S. President effectively killed the project.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland confirmed in a joint press conference with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday that she brought up the cancellation of Keystone XL once again with her American counterpart.

“The Canadian position on Keystone is unchanged. It’s something we bring up whenever we have these meetings, and I did today,” Freeland said.

Of course it is far too late to even think about rescuing XL but it is fun to watch the politicians reactions.

In case there are people not aware of it, Tc-Energy Corp had no intention of continuing with the project until the White House (previous POTUS) called and the CEO was invited for the infamous signing ceremony. The poor man looked like he would rather be anywhere else in the world at the time.

That can’t happen again because as soon a Joe announced he was cancelling … it they sold off the piles of pipe and released the leases on the land as well as canceling the jobs contracts of the people that had been hired.
