After expressing disappointment with President Biden's decision to revoke permits allowing the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that he will take his gripes to the new commander in chief himself.
Trudeau expressed his intention to reporters in Ottawa on Friday afternoon.
“I will express my concern for jobs and livelihoods in Canada, particularly in the West, directly in my conversation with President Biden,” he said.
The Canadian prime minister also alluded to areas of common interest between himself and Biden.
“We are much more aligned on values, on focus, on work that needs to be done to give opportunities for everyone while we build a better future,” he noted.
Trudeau's planned political confrontation comes after Biden canceled permits to construct the Keystone XL Pipeline, a planned expansion of the existing Keystone Pipeline System that would run between Canada's Alberta province and the Texas Gulf Coast.
The Biden administration defended its decision to shelve the project.
"Climate change is a crisis, and the Keystone pipeline and its construction was not consistent with addressing the climate crisis to the depth and scope that we are planning to address it," Gina McCarthy, Biden's national climate adviser, told reporters Tuesday. "Whatever limited benefit that Keystone was projected to provide now has to be obviously reconsidered with the economy of today."
The move was widely criticized by Canadian lawmakers, who publicly lobbied Biden not to take any action without discussing it with representatives of the northern neighbor first.
"[Biden] should recognize that peremptorily revoking the permit without first giving Canada a chance to make its case wouldn't exactly send a signal renewed friendship that he has promised towards America's closest allies," tweeted Roland Paris, a former foreign policy adviser to Trudeau.

"Sadly, the Biden Administration has now put thousands of union workers out of work," wrote the United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters in a statement.
The North American Building Trades Unions, which endorsed Biden's presidential bid, concurred.
"[We're] deeply disappointed in the decision," it said.
Be careful of what you wish for, pretty boy. You just may get it.
Too bad, so sad suckers
As bad as Biden is, Trudeau is going to bend over for him like the little ***** he is.
L
You got what you wanted.
Why the sad face?
Jobs? Just print more money in China and ship it in.
Democrats do not care that at least 11,000 people lost their jobs or 42,000 auxiliary. Democrats have cost 10’ of millions to lose their jobs just last year alone.
Keep in mind that Justin Trueshit cancelled four pipelines within Canada when he expresses concern.
He’ll probably high-five Biden.
So, how much CO2 will be generated transporting oil from Venezuela or Saudi Arabia? Will we risk getting to dangerous 0.05% of the atmosphere?
It looks like we in the USA cannot build anything on schedule anymore. If this project were in a developing country, it would have been finished by now.
This pipeline project has been in legal purgatory for years. After its initial commission in 2010, the pipeline was halted by the Obama administration due to environmental concerns in 2015. Trump then approved the permits, only for unending litigation to delay its construction. Biden revoked Trump’s permit approval on his first day in office.
Pretty boy let China train troops there.
It will be something if one China front man gets into it with another China Front man.

Hey buddy, do a little more than convey.
We’ll never build anything new anymore. Like Venezuela and South Africa
What does it take to make the WORLD see that Democrats WANT people unemployed, sad, miserable and DEPENDENT upon Mother Government?
Destroy industry and manufacturing and the Trades at all costs!
How many times do people need to LEARN THIS LESSON? I can count at least FOUR (Presidencies) times in my lifetime, so far!
Yeesh!
Liberals are in service to the globalists. They delay and delay until it is unviable and then the project is sold off for pennies to the billionaires and then it gets approved without delay. Everytime those environmentalist groups step up to launch lawsuits, some billionaire is finding the lawsuits.
Labor Leaders must either need their heads examined or have been paid off if they weren’t aware of what would happen to this project and others like it with Biden’s Screw America First administration. This was expected. Fracking will be next and I don’t want to hear about the STUPID labor leaders that didn’t see that coming when they were humping Biden in the poll booth.
RE: Fracking will be next and I don’t want to hear about the STUPID labor leaders that didn’t see that coming when they were humping Biden in the poll booth.
And we’re supposed to believe that Pennsylvania, a huge fracking state went for Biden...
Oh well, Georgia’s Fulton County’s military votes went 80% for Biden.
“”[We’re] deeply disappointed in the decision,” it said.”
