Canada urges Biden not to cancel oil pipeline on first day (Scottsbluff, Nebr. Star-Herald)

Sorry (said with a Saskatchewan accent) Premier Jason Kenney, Nebraska doesn’t want your tar sands oil and will continue to fight against Alberta on this. You want it so bad, why don’t you build a pipeline to British Columbia (oh right, you lost that already).

TORONTO (AP) — Top officials in Canada want a chance to make the case for a long disputed oil pipeline to be built amid reports President-elect Joe Biden will cancel Keystone XL on his first day.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said Monday he will seek legal damages if reports are true that Biden plans to scrap the pipeline upon taking office. Biden’s plan is outlined in transition documents seen by Canadian media outlets.

“We hope President-elect Biden will show respect for Canada and will sit down and at the very least talk to us,” Kenney said.

Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said Monday the transition team had no comment on the pipeline.
