Canada softens tone on Keystone

Did I mention frakked shale gas to survive the vortexes? I highly doubt he's the type to cut,haul, stack and burn wood.
The US snoozed and now the looze. Actually by delaying XL they did Canada a huge favour. WE will now be running oil to both coasts which is really in our best interests rather than to the US refineries. Win Win.
See Obama hasn't fukked up everything he comes in contact with. Thank you Barry. We are forever on your side.

Too funny; the eco-responsible option.
Say, how many cords of wood will it take to heat every Canadian home through a polar vortex?
Are their special forests that produce wood that has no emissions?
Inquiring minds want to know
That is a lot of wood and a helluva lot of work.
I am guessing that he lives close to one of those special forests that produce low emission trees?

Ban green wood. There are towns and cities with no green or scrap wood burning bylaws. Regina is one of them
Green wood and scrap I understand. Too many folk too lazy to clean creosote from pipes and chimneys. Wood is wood and smoke is smoke. Can't burn leaves or combustible garbage either - then they picket the landfills
...and the culverts are failing prematurely due to sub-surface sulphuric acid from 100 years of smelting operations - but it's all lush and green where we can see (except right now it's buried in four feet of snow) We're also talking about people who'll spike trees in "old-growth" forests. Imagine how popular I was in a group proposing rail haul until such a time that Energy East could install new pipe.
Big bucks were invested in TX and LA to upgrade and process petro chemicals with Canadian Heavy. Now they'll have to import from the Orinoco River. The Keystone alone can't supply what the KXL was to supply.
How are the ethics of Venezuela these days?

Perhaps you missed the point where giving up on this completely contradicts Harper's divine moral doctrine of ethical oil.
And not a peep from Colpy's torchbearer of freedom and all around übermensch, Ezra Levant.
So the oil is only going to China? Not Japan? Korea? Australia? India or Europa?
US has all the oil they need in the US.

Are you saying this whole time the ethical basis for building this pipeline was complete bull****?
It's not ethical for Asian countries to get Canadian oil through southern US ports as well as Pacific and Atlantic ports?
If your thoughts limit oil as just energy, here is something to educate you in away you might easily understand:

The problem with Keystone isn't climate change, or ethical oil. It's local politics. Who gets votes, who loses votes. My guess is that it's a wash, so it may not be worth the investment of political capital. Making it happen is best done by greasing (oiling?) the palms of those along the line, not admonishing pronouncements in Ottawa.
The goverbnment, in my opinion, would best do it's job by governing--that is, taking more seriously its oversight role in safety and the environment--as opposed to acting as the marketing wing for the oil industry.
