Premiers tell Trudeau they ‘want to go to war’ with U.S. over Keystone XL: sources
Global News ^

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.

It's reminiscent of the movie 'Canadian Bacon'.

“We all knew Biden being president would lead to a war with China. Who knew it would be Canada instead?”

Do you want to replace “instead” with “as well”?

Acting-president Biden is angering our allies. He promised to build closer relationships with the international community.

Just another broken promise.

Trudeau is playing politics, he could claim he was for Keystone Pipeline while blaming it on Biden but at the same time he gets to look good.

Re: Writer of Canadian Bacon.

Yes, it was Michael Moore, who apparently had only one "non-documentary" movie in his arsenal.

I suspect this may be a violation of the new USMCA agreement.

Would love it if Canada eviscerates this pig in a poke over
this.

I will fully support Canada if its military targets American cities, beginning with Washington, DC. (That’s called sarcasm and hyperbole, well maybe.)

At this time in our history, any talk about “going to court” for any grievance is not just laughable, it’s downright nuts.

Bring it on.

I'm moving to China anyway. That way, I can at least get my money's worth for all the U.S. tax dollars I'll be paying through Biden to them.

PINGing those to this list.

To it add that Biden removed the prohibition about China being involved in making or controlling our national power grid.

Sure that’ll turn out well.

I thought that Trump was supposed to be the one who pissed all of our allies off.

One day in and Jopedo's got the Canuck's ready to invade.

Oh well, Salute the Marines.
