#2 The people wanting to stop the Canadian pipeline to its west coast (the alternative pipeline. if Keystone isn't built) are the usual suspects: liberals, progressive, and greenies. Many are non-Canadians, and the greenies orchestrating the opposition are up to their usual tricks to let these foreigners gum up Canadian politics.

If I were a Canadian I'd be mad as hell.

The foreigners include not just greenies, but (you guessed it) certain investors with an interest in seeing that the pipeline isn't built. They're working behind the scenes with their usual NGO allies being used as cats-paws.

Then 1600 jobs extra in USA. Problem- Production Tax Credit (PTC) not extended. Canada is spot on.
