"It's time to let XL pipeline go ..." And Other Quitter Talk

Who runs Canada today - the Chinese-backed Americans or just the Chinese?:

Canada's ambassador to the United States says there's no chance of President Joe Biden walking back his decision to kill the Keystone XL pipeline — so she's turning her attention to other pressing bilateral issues.

"It's obviously very disappointing for Albertans and people in Saskatchewan who are already in a difficult situation," Kirsten Hillman said in an interview airing Saturday on CBC's The House.

"But I think that we need to now focus on moving forward with this administration, and there are so many ways in which we are going to be aligned with them to our mutual interest that I'm eager to to get going on that."

 

Be more candid, Miss Hillman, and declare that you would sooner consume a bowl of hot wax than defend Canadian interests, interests that not only employ thousands but line the country's coffers. 

(Sidebar: that Trans-Mountain pipeline will be buried, too. Just wait.)

Oh, Kenney - you had your chance and you blew it:

Both asked Trudeau to phone Biden, to speak to him about the project. Rajotte, said the Alberta government source, told Trudeau “union groups told him that only a phone call from Trudeau to Biden could salvage the project.”

“The PM did not acknowledge the request to call,” the source said.

The Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment on the specifics of the phone call between Kenney and Rajotte and Trudeau, and referred the National Post to previous statements Trudeau has made about the pipeline. ...

The governing UCP, meanwhile, has been pressing Ottawa to do more. On Thursday evening, Kenney sent a letter to Trudeau expressing his concerns about the cancellation of the project and called upon “the government of Canada to press the U.S. Administration to compensate TC Energy, and the Government of Alberta” for the money spent on the project.

Now, the Alberta government and TC Energy are left with a pipe to nowhere. Parts of the line are built through Alberta and Saskatchewan as well as across the Saskatchewan/Montana border.

 

All parties involved have made it abundantly what they think of you and your province, Jason, and no anger will change that.

Also:

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) criticized President Joe Biden’s revocation of the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, saying the oil that would have traveled through the pipeline will go to China or another country or be shipped to the United States by rail, which Rounds said is less safe.

 

 

No, Canada cannot get around "Buy American", you stupid hobbit:

Freeland was asked by CBC News if she or the Canadian government had been promised a policy exemption by Biden — one that would allow Canadian companies to retain access to the $600 billion the U.S. government spends on contracting each year.

"The prime minister … raised it with President Biden.They committed to talking about it, working closely on the issue," Freeland told CBC News Network's Power & Politics in an interview airing today. 

"When it comes to buy America, and protectionism from the U.S. overall, this is not a new thing for any Canadian government and I can tell you it is not a new thing for our government. It is something we know how to deal with, we know how to push back on."

 

You only push Kleenex to your nose, stupid one.

I bet Canadians are missing Trump right about now.
