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.
Yes, it’s the “handlers” who you’re dealing with, not old Joe. And those handlers are vile, America hating pit bulls. Trudeau? He looks soft and pretty, but I can see him doing shots with Pelosi, Obama, AOC, Tlaib....no problem. He’s as evil as they are in every way.
Warren Buffett owns BNSF railroad-—which currently transports the oil, and which he can set whatever prices he wishes for that service.
The Keystone Pipeline will cut off that revenue for Buffett...
Which, IIRC, has a multi-year running battle with the USA IRS over unpaid income taxes.
I wonder what language regarding the Keystone pipeline is in the new trade treaty Trump got signed by both Mexico & Canada.
IF there truly are ONLY 11 Million illegals in the USA, I am qualified to be Secretary of Treasury.
Would NOT surprise me if there are 11 MILLION illegals in prisons & jails alone currently in the USA.
Just like California
$3 billion worth of pipe is already in the ground. And the tinhorn installed dictator President can cancel it by fiat? We now have a third world political system in the US.
It’s 1812 all over again.

Clerk: “May I ask why?”
Biden: “ For spite. “
