The cabinet decision isn’t expected until December because by then we’ll know if there will be a President Trump and then that pipeline to serve China would be unnecessary

You and I would like to think so, but America has become an uncertain ally.

The Keystone XL would have provided US gulf refiners with an UNINTERRUPTIBLE supply of crude oil. The economic and national security benefits of this pipeline are enormous. It has been turned down for 8 years.

Even if the Keystone is built in the future, the Trans-Mountain pipeline to Kitimat is necessary for the present and the future growth of the Canadian oil industry. It will be built whether or not Keystone goes ahead and, when it is approved the need for Keystone diminishes in Canada.

Both pipelines will be built. It’s just a matter of time.
