See my Comment #1094 for other concerns about the pipeline(s). Yes, they did want to build to the Pacific, but there was a lot of opposition, so yes, it is slated for overseas markets, not ours.
Looking at the chart it appears the University study was for a lot fewer jobs even than the US govt. study which was lower that the TransCanada estimates which have also shrunk over time (too much sunlight on those figures?).
Remarkabe that Canadians wouldn’t do it themselves on their land.
Troublesome to me that the only thing we’re getting from this pipeline deal is responsibility if anything goes wrong...we have to clean it up...so it’s a huge WIN WIN for Canada....and nothing at all long term for the US.
Though Perry’s gearing up his ports of course...he REALLY wants this to go thru.
