Canada Says Its Oil Could Replace US Imports Of Russian Crude, All It Would Take Is Approval Of The Keystone XL Pipeline

Canada’s oil could replace American imports of Russian crude, the top officials of the oil-producing province Alberta said this weekend.

As talks about banning Russian oil imports in the United States and its European allies intensify, reports have started to emerge that the U.S. Administration could be looking to persuade Saudi Arabia to pump more oil or lift some sanctions on Venezuela to help fill the gap that a Russian oil embargo would open.

On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the United States and its European allies were in “very active discussions” about banning the import of Russian oil over Putin’s war in Ukraine.

Even without sanctions on Russian oil, some of the biggest U.S. importers of Russian crude oil have started suspending their purchases of the commodity.

Canada has long pitched its crude as one that is not produced in rogue government regimes such as Venezuela, Iran, or Russia, and Alberta’s top officials now say that its crude could be the answer to more supply from allied nations to the United States.

Retweeting Elon Musk’s comments that “we need to increase oil & gas output immediately,” Alberta’s Energy Minister Sonya Savage said on Saturday:

“Agreed. And it should come from Alberta, home of the 3rd largest oil reserves. Alberta is the answer to US Energy security. Real emissions reductions, reliable, right next door.”

Alberta’s Premier Jason Kenney said that he and Savage would be attending the CERAWeek conference in Houston this week, where “We will be meeting with decision-makers to secure access to markets, attract job-creating investment to our province, and argue for Canadian energy to displace Russian conflict oil.”

Kenney also said that Alberta would be delighted to welcome a visit from U.S. President Joe Biden, as one reportedly being considered to Saudi Arabia.

Kenney noted that in a visit by President Biden to Alberta “We could discuss how to ship nearly 1 million barrels a day of responsibly produced energy every day from the USA’s closest friend and ally! All it would take is his approval for Keystone XL. Easy.”

Once people realize leftists don’t give a crap about them, they are better off. It’s all about their pinko goals, and if some eggs are broken to achieve them? Oh well. The poor are literally the hardest hit by pinko-Dim policies.

Railway cars full of oil past through our central Alberta towns/cities hourly…no one predict when the next derailment will happen, but at least the XL pipeline will never leak.

I have to add…there have been 2 derailments in the last year within 20km of me.

Not huge spillage, but it has taken them almost a year for cleanup. Had to remove contaminated soil etc.

Epic quote from a local sports radio host in NYC a few years ago …

“If you come across something that doesn’t make sense, you can be sure it makes dollars.”

Speaking of Canada...

He banned the **** TRUDEAU flag in Ottawa and banned the peaceful trucker protest, but he can’t ban UK pedes from yelling it at him. I hope it made him cry

Asterisks mine.

Good luck with this administration, headed by a senile old man who only cares about his son Hunter and leftist causes, in getting a reversal of the closing ofo the Keystone pipeline.
