As in Keystone Pipeline.
The little fellow currently in the White House has, as you know, once again delayed approval for the Keystone Pipeline intended to transport Alberta Oil to Texas refineries.
First, I am not at all surprised by this … I believe in my year to come review I said that this is exactly what would happen.
The guy – the little fellow in the W.H. is a disaster in all things, so why not in regard to the Pipeline too?
He would rather enrich Arab Sheiks who fund Muslim Terrorists, than buy oil from America’s best friend and ally.
Many had thought that with the current threat from Russia, the little guy would now be forced to get North American energy in safe order … but no.
And why so?
First the little guy is thick … he cannot help being stupid; second, he does not want to offend his Hollywood friends and other Eco Nuts who adamantly oppose Keystone.
So where does that leave us in Canada?
The best thing we have going for us economically are the Oil Sands – but thanks to Obama we cannot get it to the States – our natural consumer.
Bsut not only that, US eco wackos are funding anti oil sands initiatives here in Canada.
Ergo my comment of being between a stone and a hard place.
Simply stated … we are scuppered.
So what to do Galagher?
I am glad you asked.
If I were the Prime Minister, I would impose the War Measures Act and push through the Alberta Pipelines to the West and East on a war footing.
And technically we are at war … with Al Qaeda and the cold war with Russia has returned with a vengeance.
With our manufacturing sector in steep decline, we can no longer afford to let such an asset as our Oil Sands continue to underperform.
If the Courts rendered injunctions, as surely they would, I would simply ignore them in the same fashion that McGuinty ignored court ordered injunctions against native terrorists in Caledonia.
Our oil and gas assets are simply too valuable to continue to waste… the time has come to get them to new markets and when the US comes cap and hand to get in on the action, we’ll simply say to them – you are a day late and a dollar short.
So Sorry.
As I see it…
‘K.D. Galagher’
