Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday said his administration was “disappointed” with President Joe Biden’s decision to revoke the permit for construction on the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
The 1,700-mile pipeline was planned to carry roughly 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
“While we welcome the President’s commitment to fight climate change, we are disappointed but acknowledge the President’s decision to fulfill his election campaign promise on Keystone XL,” read Trudeau’s statement, released just hours after Biden was officially sworn-in as the U.S.’ 46th president.
The move was part of the Biden administration’s broader goal to crack down on fossil fuels. The new president is expected to direct sweeping environmental regulatory changes over the next four years and reverse some Trump-era deregulatory policies in an effort to tackle climate change.
The controversial Keystone XL pipeline initially proposed more than a decade ago, would sustain about 11,000 U.S. jobs in 2021 and generate $1.6 billion in gross wages.

No not so much that...the problem is that their hands are outstretched.
gonna get REAL cold in Canada
but they CHOSE Castro’s son to lead them.
should be like tundra-Cuba in a year or two.
They are... up 10 cents today locally
And they’ll blame Trump 100%. The Occupier will end fracking, end the pipeline, put restrictions, fuel regulations, gas/oil will hit record high prices and with it the cost of everything else will shoot up with it, and there will be Don Lemon on CNN: “Biden tries to deal with the Trump economy that was left to him”
Will BUYme wear a sweater and talk about malaise?
Guess that oil will have to go to China...
But it pleases that buck toothed whore who got her start by stealing from the tip jar.
And we can't have that, can we?
Meanwhile, this will do absolutely *nothing* to reduce so-called greenhouse gases, and the transport of the oil will be more hazardous than with a pipeline.
Moronic policies are back with a vengeance.
“the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one”
Oil transport from Canada to New Orleans. Say what!? Why not build an oil refinery in Canada?! The ship gasoline to the major cities of Canada and northern USA?!
Yessirree, Bite-me is going to strengthen America’s alliances!
I think some was going overseas so they’d burn less coal but we didn’t follow the “science”.
Right out of the gate Biden ticks off a trading partner.
Yeah, but Warren Buffet has a major stake in the railroads that haul oil and coal.
Canada needs to get her ass in gear and vote this pipsqueak OUT. He’s not looking out for you or your interests.
You need a Trump up there.
The pipeline is to ship Canadian crude to American refineries. We have plenty of oil and gas but Trudeau has spent 5 years blocking pipelines in Canada to get our crude to the east and west coast ports for export. He is very happy that Keystone as it puts another nail in the coffin of the Alberta provincial economy. Alberta is the closest thing we have to Texas: oil amd gas, ranchers and hunting enthusiasts, who overwhelming vote conservative. Biden will try to kill the Texas economy under the guise of “climate action”.
Justine lacked vision, we all knew that the wind was blowing in that direction, except Trudeau
I bet they are.
Agreed. I feel bad for the people of Alberta. Trudeau, on the other hand, can shove it.
Biden just bitch-slapped him and all the CBC leftists in Toronto on day one.
