Just referencing the number in the article I read. Well - It said 9k. I rounded up.

It has more to do with undoing what Trump approved than it does making a sensible decision on the issue.I'm good with most of Biden initial plans. I don't think this should be done:
Biden to yank Keystone XL permit on first day of presidency
The move is billed as one of Biden’s Day One climate change actions, according to a presentation circulating among Washington trade groups and lobbyists.www.politico.com

It’s more about killing the Canadian oil industry and buying domestic
From whose perspective?
Obama blocked it
Trump approved it.
Biden to block it.
And around and around we go...
They should have dug faster. They had 4 years. Haha.

Mostly Hondurans. They were beaten back by police with sticks in Guatemala yesterday. Not permanently stopped, but temporarily halted at the very least.A migrant caravan - currently in Guatemala and estimated at around 10,000 people - are on their way to the US border.
A senior Biden transition official, speaking under the condition of anonymity, said they might want to turn around.

Seriously though large environmental lobbies and many American oil lobbies have been trying to destroy the oil sands for decades, and they know if alberta can’t move its crude through keystone its fucked because it has no other way to get its product to market since BC and Quebec both blocked pipelines from alberta, which is landlocked.
Is Joe Biden bad for canadia?
Sounds like it sucks to be Alberta.
But what does Quebec have to do with Alberta being landlocked? Did you mean Saskatchewan?

No
They need to get their oil to tidewater on the west coast or tidewater AND the large refineries on the east coast. Saskatchewan is also landlocked, Manitoba and Ontario don’t have an arctic seaport. So if the pipeline can’t go through Quebec they can’t get it to tidewater or the east coast.

I don't know That is true. There are several groups from both business interests and environment interests That don't want this pipeline for various different reasons that align.
Obama blocked it and that wasn't anything to do with Trump. it doesn't surprise me that Biden may very well hold similar policy positions as the administration he formerly served in as vice president..

Agree to disagree.
Trump overturned Obama's ruling basically on Day 1 (I think) as a way to say "Things are different now."
Biden plans to do the same to Trump.
It's possible this is the most important thing going on in America today and that's why he wants to do it Day 1, but it certainly feels more about optics than anything else. It's Biden saying "Things are different now"
I'm not saying he doesn't think it's the right play - it's a polarizing topic for sure. He's allowed to have his opinion and he's in charge now so...

Manitoba and Ontario border Hudson Bay, eh?
Sounds like Alberta is fucked for 4 years. If I'm them, I keep digging. Ivanka will approve it when she becomes the first ELECTED female President.
