Trudeau has said this is one of his top priorities with the Biden administration and the ambassador to the US noted that emissions from the oilsands have dropped by 1/3rd since 2000.

The unions in the US are onside, and it will be quite interesting to see how this plays out. I hope it’s not dead, and it might not be with these new measures.
In the article it said it’s on the transition documents. Its incoming unless something major happens.

I appreciate what you said, but Biden and Obama killed it for pure politics last time. I think you’re just helping illustrate the hypocrisy.

Regardless we could have had a pipe approved in Canada we control and put conditions on green power. Instead we are hoping a foreign power with little to lose and a lot to politically gain will do us a solid.
