Newt Gingrich has a promise for Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper: If you wait for the U.S. elections, Republicans will come through for you on the Keystone XL pipeline.
My message to Prime Minister Harper: You do not need a partnership with the Chinese, Gingrich said during his turn in the Conservative Political Action Conference spotlight Friday afternoon. If you give us a few months, when we beat Obama on election night, we will approve [the Keystone XL pipeline] on Jan. 20.
Gingrich said he would sign an executive order approving Keystone on his first day in office.
Harpers government has overtly courted China as an energy customer since the Obama administration rejected the oil sands pipeline, and Gingrich and the rest of the GOP field have made the most of it on the campaign trail.
Obama has been an anti-American energy president, and every American pays the price every time they go to a gas station, Gingrich said.
Gingrich also used his speech to push the bold solutions he repeatedly used to pit himself against the Republican establishment a just-below-the-surface jab at primary front-runner Mitt Romney.
Gingrich also repeated his pledge to abolish the EPA and Energy Department, saying the latter has been a total failure since it was founded.
LOL, Welcome to FR oldweesie!
I’m Canadian too.
Are you and I the only Canucks?
Oh, for goodness sakes, No!
*smiling at you*
Here at FR you can let other specific people know when you have posted something. Most forums don't allow that.
I am sending a 'ping' to Clive by entering his name in the "To" box. He will add you to the Canada ping list.
I'm sure you will enjoy it here.
Bump.
Come on down! There is no doubt in my mind that other foreigners are. They are laundering it through small credit card donations that are below the reporting limits. That’s why Obama had so many that were odd amounts that likely came though a foreign currency exchange.
