The Keystone Pipeline project was expected to create up to 1,000,000 high-paying US jobs in the oil manufacturing and associated industries. The project itself would create 20,000 construction jobs.
Obama refused to sign the Keystone agreement last week. Today Canadian Prime Minister Harper told Obama that he would look to Asia to sell its oil.
The Republic reporteed, via Free Republic:
Canada’s prime minister says he made it clear in a meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama that Canada will step up its efforts to sell oil to Asia since the Obama administration delayed a decision on an oil pipeline.- The Gateway Pundit
Prime Minister Stephen Harper says Canada will continue to push the U.S. to approve the $7-billion Keystone XL project.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper says Canada will continue to push the U.S. to approve the $7-billion Keystone XL project. Last week the U.S. State Department ordered that the pipeline be rerouted and subject to further environmental review, delaying a decision until 2013.
Harper says the U.S. move highlights why Canada must increase its efforts to diversify its exports to Asia. He says he communicated that clearly to Obama.
Damn! It continues to amaze me how many different ways that Son of a Bitch can manage to Fuck us!
ReplyDeleteObama has killed far more jobs than he created. These are real jobs he killed, welders, equipment operators, steel manufacturing, truck drivers etc. Real hope, no dope 2012. JRH NoDak

ReplyDeleteNot gonna hear nuthin but crickets from the media...
ReplyDeleteI'm from Alberta. I'm currently finishing an exploration job in Trinidad, and am scheduled for a 3 month exploration project for a major oil sands producer starting in December. This is my bread and butter. I sure hope your lousy president didn't kill my fucking job too. Exploration is the first to get cut when uncertainties arise. It's a shame that the delay is based on politics. The pipeline will go through.
ReplyDeleteHeh...even other country's leaders say, "Fuck you, Obama."
ReplyDeleteDamn proud to be a Canadian these days.
