Guess I haven't followed the political connections enough.

Yes, I would rather have too much oil with all the economic benefits. Sorry for the oil industry guys who may lose some jobs.

There is another reason for XL.

It won't be carrying Canadian oil exclusively. A significant part of the volume will be out of the Bakken Shale.

The Bakken is underserved by pipelines and is having to rely on rail transport -- relatively expensive and more subject to accidental spillage.
