Biden already managed to ruffle some feathers over here

Kenney called the order a “gut punch” to both the Alberta and Canadian economies.

“The leader of our closest ally retroactively vetoed approval for a pipeline that already exists and which is co-owned by a Canadian government, directly attacking, by far, the largest part of the Canada-U.S. trade relationship, which is our energy industry and exports,” he said.

It's tar sands oil, not great for pollution and Biden already said he would block the pipeline long ago. Still a lot of jobs on the line on both sides of the border plus if no alternatives in time, does that mean more oil tankers to get the energy in?

Earlier on Wednesday, TC Energy Corp. suspended work on the Keystone XL project in anticipation of the permit being removed.

The Calgary-based company said it will suspend construction and warned there could be a “substantive” predominantly non-cash, after-tax charge to earnings in the first quarter of 2021. TC Energy said the decision would lead to layoffs for thousands of unionized construction workers.


Anyway, great to have a president again south of the border that can speak in coherent sentences :) And he's not wasting any time, action!
