Oh yeah?
When? and by whom?
The last ditch was made this week and the Owe shows no signs of relenting...
so, please, with your great expertise in Canadian politics, the Canadian oil industry, China's growing needs, please indicate just how that's all going to happen and how old we are when it does.
We are two to five years away from a green light, another two for advanced engineering and ramp up to build the pipe, five years or more of construction...
When will the US say yes, and what will be the situation then, especially since a northern alternative is in the works.
The word among the pipeline industry is Obama will never say yes, nor will Clinton..so they're going elsewhere
What's with this injured tone? Reason why the pipeline got rejected was because your Prime Minister failed to live up to his promise of making the energy companies invest in long term improvements in the pipeline's safety and environmental friendliness. They didn't feel like they should have to, and he couldn't or didn't want to spend the political capital to force them. So instead he pulled a 180 and started issuing threats about selling oil to China and attempted to bully the Obama Administration into accepting a deal that didn't reflect the interests of the population that elected him.
You guys are 100% the bad guys on this issue.
