Except that anyone with an IQ over 100 would need a lobotomy to stay there.What better time to have a government job. Waking up with no worries to a blissful existence. How Canadian.
More stuff you'll have a hard time finding the true story about. Lets round it off and call it $10 billion wasted on pipelines for zero return. Oh well."TC Energy Corp. has brought another backer into its corner for the Keystone XL pipeline.
The Calgary-based company announced Tuesday it struck an agreement for Natural Law Energy (NLE) – an alliance of First Nations representing the traditional territories of Treaty No. 4, Treaty No. 6 and Treaty No. 7 – to invest up to $1 billion in the controversial pipeline that's been the subject of years of delays and regulatory uncertainty. TC Energy pointed out the investment is dependent on NLE securing financing.
It's the second significant equity partner that TC Energy has brought on board for Keystone XL after the province of Alberta signed up for a $1.5-billion investment in the project – plus a $6-billion loan guarantee – in March. And it's being announced despite a murky outlook for Keystone XL in light of U.S. President-elect Joe Biden's campaign pledge to block the project.
"Natural Law Energy has used the same blueprint our ancestors used when they negotiated the Treaties that governed working together to share the land,” said NLE CEO Travis Meguinis in a release."
That announcement was from Nov. 17, 2020. Post US election and six months from the project being abandoned. Money is like water to these people.More stuff you'll have a hard time finding the true story about. Lets round it off and call it $10 billion wasted on pipelines for zero return. Oh well.
Keystone XL, Trans Mountain and Line 3 last pipelines Canada will ever need, says energy regulator
De Silva notes that if the three oil and gas pipelines under construction get finished — Keystone XL, Trans Mountain and Enbridge Line 3 — they will together be the final pipelines Canada needs to build to handle the projected growth and fossil fuel production before it begins to decline.

Keystone XL, Trans Mountain and Line 3 last pipelines Canada will ever need, says energy regulator
But even 30 years from now oil and gas would still make up nearly two-thirds of energy sourcesfinancialpost.com
Canada is the world’s fourth-largest oil producer, currently supplying 6% of global production. Canada is the fifth-largest producer of natural gas, supplying 5% of global demand. The energy sector (oil, gas, electricity) constitutes more than 10% of Canada’s total gross domestic product (GDP). In 2023, the latest year of available data, the energy sector provided, directly and indirectly, almost 700,000 jobs or 3.5% of all jobs in Canada. And Canadian energy exports totalling $200 billion comprised 28% of all Canadian exported goods.
BUT…however vast and vital Canada’s energy sector is to our well being, Prime Minister Trudeau worked tirelessly to restrain, restrict, diminish and ultimately “phase out” Canada’s fossil fuel industries. Here are some of the highlights of his war on Canada’s energy sector.
In 2017, Trudeau introduced Bill C-48, which restricts oil tankers off Canada’s west coast and limits the ability of Canada’s oilsands sector to export product to new markets, keeping Canada’s energy resources trapped in a discount-price U.S. market. Also in 2017, much to the fury of many Albertans, Trudeau announced his intention to phase out oilsands production, the foundation of Alberta’s prosperity.
In 2018, Trudeau introduced Bill C-69, which tightened Canada’s environmental assessment process for major infrastructure projects and made the process of obtaining government permission for major energy projects more costly, time-consuming and arbitrary, thus increasing uncertainty across the energy sector. And he introduced the carbon tax despite strenuous opposition by Canada’s energy sector and energy-producing provinces.
In 2020, Trudeau launched his broadest and most intense regulatory crusade against Canada’s energy sector, introducing Bill C-12, which committed Canada to reach “net-zero” emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050. Net-zero means Canada cannot emit more greenhouse gases via energy production and consumption than is taken out of the air by natural processes and the ecosystem. This would require vastly reduced production and consumption of fossil fuels in Canada, with consequences for the energy sector’s productivity and employment potential moving toward 2050. Oh well.
In 2023, Trudeau attacked fossil fuel use in the transportation sector by mandating that all new cars sales be electric vehicles by 2035. And he released draft “clean electricity regulations” to phase out the use of fossil fuels in electricity generation by the year 2050.![]()
GREEN: Next PM should swiftly dismantle Trudeau’s anti-energy agenda — Calgary Sun
Justin Trudeau’s imminent exit from office may mark the beginning of the end of a 10-year war on Canada’s energy sector, and by extension, Canada’s economy.

During his time as prime minister, Trudeau attacked Canada’s energy sector, with eliminationist language and onerous regulations meant to essentially phase out a major supplier of economic productivity and employment in Canada, to the great detriment of Canadians. It’s his legacy.
2023 exportsYes, in spite of the federal liberal government. How about Canadian exports elsewhere, other than to the US?
