Keystone XL a political football

Premier Kenney vowing that he can convince Joe Biden to allow Keystone XL to be built is nothing more than political balderdash designed to portray himself as a fighter for Albertans. Kenney knows that Biden, undoubtedly the next U.S. president, has stated on several recent occasions that he will revoke the Keystone XL border crossing permit when elected.

If Kenney was a real fighter for Albertans, he, like the late Peter Lougheed — the best premier this province ever had — would oppose Keystone XL, work to add value to our resources in-province to stop exporting jobs to Texas, and fight Ottawa for efficient, high-capacity access to tidewater at Prince Rupert, B. C. — the safest location for marine terminals, according to the Ottawa’s own exhaustive evaluation.
