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.
Canada hasn’t invaded the US in 208 years...
...We haven’t been at war with Mexico in 173 years...
...Maybe biden can pull off a two-front war we don’t have leave home for?
It’s barely been 48 hours since Dementia Joe was sworn in, and already one of our closest allies throughout history—Canada—wants to go to war with the U.S.
And I don’t blame Canada for being so angry.
Nice job, Dementia Joe, you incomprehensible STUPID DUMB@SS!
It took Biden only 24 hours to piss off a close and dear ally! As long as China is happy,,,,
FakeNewsMSM likes to portray Trudeau one way...for his liberal base. however:
11 March 2017: Business Insider: ‘No country would find 173 billion barrels of oil and just leave it in the ground’: Justin Trudeau gets a standing ovation at an energy conference in Texas
by Jeremy Berke
“No country would find 173 billion barrels of oil in the ground and just leave them there,” Trudeau said during his address to oil and gas industry executives at Houston’s CERAWeek conference, discussing Alberta’s vast oil sands reserve.
Trudeau’s comments were met with a standing ovation from the over 1,200 attendees — an out-of-the-ordinary reaction to a keynote speaker, conference-goers told the CBC...
“Nothing is more essential to the US economy than access to a secure, reliable source of energy. Canada is that source.”...
Trudeau has been under fire from Canada’s oil industry after he stumbled while discussing the topic in January. He told an audience in Ontario that the oil sands should be phased out, later clarifying to The Globe and Mail that he “misspoke.”
Trudeau’s speech also touted his support for the Keystone XL pipeline, one of the few areas where he and President Donald Trump share common ground...

The Canadian army can come bunk out at my place. I’d be offering better accommodations to them than the new president did to our own National Guard troops in the nation’s capital.
I’m sure there was something in it for Potemkin Joe.
Xiden’s first war will be with the Canucks?
Warren Buffett owns the BNSF railroad so Creepy Joe Biden wants to ensure that oil from Canada and the nearby Bakken formation in North Dakota will continue to be transported by BNSF.
Buffet has probably paid the Democrats more than the Canadians. The environmental argument is ludicrous because shipping oil in a rail care by train is far more likely to cause spills and creates far more air pollution from diesel locomotives.
Yippee! Will this be the Demented Old Perv’s FIRST war? That’s called “getting off to a good start.”
Biden the bully!
Someday Warren will go room temp and I will put up a cheerful flag in celebration.
Wow, Biden is pissing off a lot of people right off the bat, some of them liberals. Who woulda thunk?
They mean economic war, not war-war.
They are Canadians for crying out loud.
Oh, you’re no fun anymore.
Canada deserve green energy and electric cars. Energy withdrawal capacity from cold batteries is awesome.
Couldn’t care less.
Hehehe
south park
Trudeau go to war!? Hahahhallolololobwahahahaha. Have you seen the socks he wears? Have you seen him sitting down?
Trudeau hates the pipelines.....he’s happy as hell that Traitor Joe cancelled it. Now he is only to blame for the pipeline heading to the west being held up.
Trudeau deserves this
Biden is helping his uber rich buddies and the amount of CO2 actually goes up.
My sister said she heard Tredeau called Biden begging him to not do it, that he was shutting down their economy.
