The death of Keystone XL would be a blow to workers and communities along the pipeline’s route

Construction on the Keystone XL pipeline has helped keep Emily Lai’s small family restaurant alive during months of COVID-19 lockdowns. The 90′s Restaurant, on Main Street in Oyen, Alta., has stayed afloat by serving takeout to hundreds of tradespeople who temporarily moved to the area to work on the project.

But now that the TC Energy Corp. pipeline has been halted, she said she and her husband are more anxious about the future of the Chinese and Western cuisine restaurant they have owned for nearly a decade.

“My husband is feeling sad, too, and worried about the business,” Ms. Lai said this week.

TC Energy says about 1,000 construction workers, in both Canada and the United States, have been or will be given layoff notices in the weeks ahead. The Calgary-based company has said the cancellation will eliminate the jobs of thousands of union workers at TC Energy contractors.

Some were employed by Michels Canada, which was awarded the contract to construct about 260 kilometres of the project in Alberta. No one from the company was immediately available for comment this week.

But one of the construction workers on the pipeline had been lodging at the home of Oyen Mayor Doug Jones. On Wednesday, Mr. Jones said his boarder – who usually left at 6 a.m. and returned at 7 p.m. – came home at 10 in the morning. The mayor of the town of 1,100 was worried there had been an on-site accident.

It ‘would’?

The Globe and Mail are under some delusion that we the people have a say in this democrat party takeover of our government. Biden doesn’t even have a say.

The Alaska pipeline turned out to be a great heater for moose elk deer and other critters saved many lives so now Biden is a animal killer oh wait it’s a power play.

It sounds like a project manager is a highly skilled individual with many years of experience, leading a team to meet specific goals for a company. Can one actually earn a degree in project management?

You can get PMP certified, get as many management certifications as you want. Could get you an entry level job, but like anything else in this world that is worth doing and being good at, it takes years of experience, I detected a hint of whimsy and sarcasm in your post, so I suspect I’m not telling you anything you don’t know already 😊.
