re: #306 Gus

What a joke Keystone has turned out to be. Most of that oil wouldn’t even stay in the USA and is basically “earmarked” for China.

The whole thing, from tops to tails, is a joke. It’s sold as a job creator except most of the jobs will likely just be people from other construction jobs moved over to work on it or remain in Canada, it will actually raise oil prices in the MidWest rather than lower them, and TransCanada’s history with pipelines shows that it will likely be every bit as leaky as feared.

But the GOP needs to look like they’re big on jobs and Big Oil’s had a hard-on for this pipeline for years now, so don’t expect it to die anytime soon as a political issue.
