Fight about what? The Arrow or Keystone?

Sorry, haven't fought the Americans since 1814, not in our national interest to start now. Besides we have pipelines and bridges to build.

Not to mention that the Sauds have infiltrated most Western governments and are guiding as many as possible away from developing their own independent oil industry.

It’s why thr Green party exists. It’s why Green peace exists. Odds are, it’s why the the federal Liberal party of Canada and the Democrats have made enemies of the oil patch.

The Sauds contribute to them for that purpose.

Barrack Hussein Obama: Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Stephan Harper; One of the Worlds pre-eminant conservative politicians and strategists: " The Right Stuff".

Obama is convinced the world runs on wind power and solar power. Harper is selling oil in China. Obama is shutting down pipelines while constantly wearing sun glasses. Get it? Build it and they will come? Buahahahahahahahaha!

Obama will soon be in China trying to sell sunshine.

Thanks to Perry getting the Chinese to buy stakes in Texas oilfields, there are going to be dozens of oil wells up and running by the end of this year that otherwise wouldn't exist

Make that hundreds of wells....

The Eagle Ford shale deposits in South Texas discovered 4 years ago is now supporting 12,000 high pay jobs in the area, and is producing over 150,000 barels a day.

Meanwhile....North Dakota is pumping 500,000 barrels a day...up from 400,000 6 months ago.

I think we are all saying the same thing but in a different way.

And you will not be alone for the muster.

Time will come sooner than most think.

We will stand together or die alone

God help us all

I’d be in favor of Texas and Alberta seceding and joining together to form their own country.

The smartest move Canada could make is to increase it’s refining capacity. Ship oil to China and gasoline and diesel to the US.

Damn, Harper, take a chill pill and back off a bit!

The Chinese deal will be for the Chinese to build (and pay for) a pipeline to the Pacific and the port facilities to ship the oil in Chinese ships. It will be for more than the 700,000 barrels/day that was going to be the Keystone deal. Obama will have all of the Alberta oil locked up tight by the ChiComs. Obama is a chump as are the idiots who voted for him.

Enbridge is building the Northern Gateway . This has been in the works from , at least, 2008 . It’s not something new dreamed up to replace TransCanada’s Keystone and Harper is just doing what he would be doing , regardless of Obama’s dithering .

The US softwood lobby in Washington taught Canada a lesson. Simply , no more eggs in one basket.

I am Canadian, and most Canadians think I’m a rascist bigoted, jerk. They think that because I hate socialism, and want to deport muslims, and I used to own guns (before I lost them in a tragic volcano spelunking accident), and I can’t stand what is happening to the US, that makes most Canadians hate me, I guess it depends on your definition of nice.

I don’t blame Harper for doing what he’s doing, but it burns me that he is going to that market, to a very probable near future enemy.

Does Northern Gateway, as proposed, have enough capacity to replace Keystone?

email I got from Obamaloons today:

Thank you for writing. President Obama has heard from many Americans concerning the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline project, and we appreciate hearing from you. The President is committed to creating the most open and transparent Government in American history, and values your input. Given your interest in this matter, you may be interested in reading a recent official White House response to a petition on this issue. To learn more, please visit: www.WhiteHouse.gov/Energy. Thank you, again, for writing.

at the point of "open and transparent" , I was laughing so hard, Mrs Wobbly asked what was up.

You asked why Canada can't wait another month for an answer to the Keystone approval. Here you go:

So now we see what Congress does next, don't we.
We'll all get to see how "bi-partisan" the Democrats really are.

Don't crow just yet, rooster.

I'm not crowing about anything. This is a terrible development for the US. It makes the US weaker and China stronger. I take no solace in that.

You were the one who wondered why another month mattered so much. Now you know. This project is going nowhere. Your president's motives are far worse than anyone, I think even you, realize.

He is weakening your country at every turn. Personally, I think this decision is close to treason.
