Keystone - Thanks But No Thanks

Obama now says that the Keystone Pipeline extension is OK so long as Canadian oil doesn’t make smoke.  Clearly, all oil makes smoke, but Canadians think that he might have said “maybe”.  What is it about the word “no” that we don’t understand?

Frankly, I’m tired of persistent U.S. anti-Canadianism.  We in Canada need to face the facts.  Wall Street trillionaires don’t make a nickel on a barrel of tar sands oil from Canada.  On the other hand, every barrel of black gold that comes from their Saudi allies is 90% gravy used to finance the Democratic Party in Washington.

Even their own environmentally disastrous fracked oil costs Americans more than it generates in revenues for Wall Street.  The fracking fraud will be over when the Wall Street thugs are finished making a fortune importing railway tank cars from China.

If Obama hates our tar sands oil I have bad news for him.  Americans are already burning tons of Canadian oil.  Why doesn’t he shut off the tap at the Canadian border? And why does he accept our oil delivered in leaky railway cars pulled by smoking diesel locomotives?  He is speaking from both sides of a sneer.

In future years, Canadian oil should go into the U.S. at the international price that is applicable to the grade we supply.  No more fraudulent U.S. pricing and no more ridiculous discounts.  Take it or leave it.
