It has nothing to do the merits of it, never has. It's been the Democrats "we want to make a big environmental statement that makes our base cheer and think we're serious about the environment, while actually hurting an economic opponent" playtoy.
It's a perfect one, two punch for their country. "We care about the environment!/Smash Canadian Oil = more profit for our Oil!".
Pylon's response to the announcement of Keystone XL's cancellation is exactly what they worked towards and succeeded at. The message is a no win for Albertans or the Canadian economy "If you oppose any anti-Oil initiative, no matter how politically driven or protectionist, you are not for a green future". The US has the money and power to defeat Canada through message and this is a clear example of that.
