Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced anger from some of Canada’s premiers Thursday over U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline project — including heated calls for punishment that could fracture ties between the two allies.
The First Ministers call, which lasted just over an hour, also touched on the coronavirus pandemic and issues with the nationwide vaccine rollout, sources told Global News. But Canada-U.S. relations in the wake of Biden’s controversial move dominated the discussion.
“Some premiers want to go to war” with the United States over the cancellation, aides of those who participated in the meeting said.

The aides spoke on the condition of anonymity to frankly discuss a private discussion that they said “got pretty heated.”
During the discussion, aides said Ontario Premier Doug Ford cast his lot in with Alberta’s Jason Kenney and Saskatchewan’s Scott Moe, and warned the prime minister he should stand up to “a bully” like Biden on Keystone.
The characterization surprised some of the other premiers on the call, aides said, given the behaviour of Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump.
Ford, along with premiers of other non-oil producing provinces, fear that if Biden can cancel Keystone XL, he’ll also bring in “Buy America” policies to help the American economy recover from the pandemic. A “Buy America” policy, which Biden has promised on the campaign trail, could freeze out Canadian steel, aluminum, and manufactured goods — something that would cause widespread harm to the Canadian economy.
Go Canada!
“warned the prime minister he should stand up to “a bully” like Biden on Keystone.”
Turdeau folded like a cheap accordion to Trump during the new NAFTA deal, what makes these clowns think he’s gonna fight? As a former British Columbian, be careful what you wished for. They dont like Trump, Biden’s worse.
I thought Trudeau was against the pipeline as well. I know he was being difficult regarding pipelines in Western Canada.
Bidum starts a war with Canada
Sweet
Oh, Canada

Hopefully North Dakota, Noem in South Dakota, and other governors take this to court. They have a case. Also the implied treaty/agreement needs to be upheld. See if there is language in the new trade deal that voids this move.
Can Canada bomb the Baldwin Residence?
Beijing Biden pResident UNITED STATES, INC.
What with biden as commander in chief (gag), even canada can kick our ass in a war.
China-Joe-Ho is already alienating our friends and allies, and bowing to our enemies. That didn’t take long. Communists hate Canada, Mexico, Israel and love the CCP.
Let's face facts: Canada doesn't have an army. A well armed gang from Chicago or LA can take over the whole country.
Canada lives under our umbrella of military protection. They aren't going to do anything. And if they're worried about Biden's "Buy American" campaign promise, well, Biden doesn't even remember he said it so they shouldn't really worry about it.
They’re free to burn down Washington DC again.
I read that Buffet is heavily invested in rail transportation that would stand to lose heavily if petrol could be moved via pipeline instead.
"Eh, F You, Buddy!"
Might as well. He’s worthless anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGeLnX3aj40
Well, aren’t we all surprised?
We all knew Biden being president would lead to a war with China. Who knew it would be Canada instead?
Sorry Xi. You’ll have to wait your turn. Biden has pissed of Canada first.
Now we know why the 25,000 troops are in DC. To ward off enemy Canucks.
He is. He stopped four pipelines within Canada that were approved from being built.
Alberta’s oil is Canada’s surety to pay Canada’s debt. This is what is being planned.
Great to consult with our allies again. /s
