Anti-pipeline activists won't be compensating Inidigenous communities who lose jobs and the billions of dollars of economic benefits with the Keystone XL permit revoked. Meanwhile, they'll keep their comfortable lifestyles cozying up to their rich contributors who want to lock-in Alberta oil as they march on to their next campaign and demonstration.

Biden day 1 will be WOAT- Worst of all time

The Paris Accord agreement will cost America 3 TRILLION DOLLARS BY 2040 AND 2.7 MILLION JOBS BY 2025. And for zip to reduce carbon emissions worldwide.The cancelation of the pipeline will cost  thousands of jobs and it supplied 700,000 BARRELS OF OIL EVERY DAY (seven hundred thousand). The imigrants being held by Guatemala Police and boarder patrol are coming to get jobs we do not have to give them. When they cross into the U.S., they will be provided with housing, free education, food stamps, welfare, $1,400 stimulus check, social security benefits, health care benefits etc. complimentary of ALL American taxpayers. All we have to do is pay higher gas prices, higher taxes, less jobs and then just get to the back of the line, thanks Joe Biden. That is the cost of the first day in office. Just wait, it gets much more intense, wait for it . . .

Obama entered his first time in the middle of the global financial crisis. He didn't destroy badly needed investment and jobs with the stroke of a pen on his first day. Like most Democratic presidents, he waited a while to start doing that.

The U.S. government can't do anything to change the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic in the coming months, President Joe Biden claimed on Friday.



"There's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months," Biden said during a speech at the White House.



Biden's remark prompted criticism. "Haven't we been told for months that restrictions and mandates were necessary to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months?" former Rep. Justin Amash (L-Mich.) wrote in a tweet.



Biden quickly changed his tune, from blaming Trump for not doing enough to change the trajectory to admitting there aint anything he can do besides put vaccines in arms because of the success of Operation Warp Speed.

Joe Biden would not have killed KXL without even consulting us if we had a real leader. I was not a fan of Harper, but there would have been trade repercussions for the States if he was still pm.

There are lots of things Ottawa could do if we had a pm who had the backs of working Canadians.

Mineral fuels are Canada's largest export to the U.S. — at over US$89 billion in 2019 — two-thirds more important than auto vehicles and parts. Almost 3,000 direct jobs and another 14,000 indirect jobs will be lost in Canada with the cancellation of Keystone XL. Because of reduced pipeline capacity, Canadian heavy oil will often sell at a discount, resulting in billions of dollars in lost GDP and federal and provincial tax revenues.



It will be a no-win decision for the United States, as well, if Biden goes ahead. The discrimination against Canadian oilsands production will lead to a loss of 42,000 direct and indirect jobs even as the pandemic recession rages on. When no longer piped, oil will travel by rail, which is less safe and environmentally more harmful. For every barrel of imported Canadian oil lost, the U.S. will import more heavy oil from other countries.



Who are the competing oil suppliers to the United States? In 2019, they included Mexico (US$12.3 billion), Saudi Arabia (US$11.5 billion), Iraq (US$7 billion) and Colombia (US$6.5 billion). These producers, as well as others, including Russia (US$3.5 billion) and Venezuela (US$1.4 billion), will be important beneficiaries from President Biden's decision to cancel Keystone XL.



So why did he decide to discriminate against Canadian oil? The official reason is to combat climate change. But the latest oilsand technologies have reduced GHG emission intensity by over 30 per cent, so that new Canadian oil has the same GHG emission per barrel as other oil consumed in the U.S.



So, what will the Liberals do in reaction? When Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian aluminum, Canadians felt poorly treated by their supposed ally. Ottawa countered with tariffs on U.S. aluminum products, which were dropped after Trump revoked the U.S. tariffs a month later. Given the even greater importance of energy exports, Canada should not stand idly by now.



we could pursue policies that impact a critical U.S. export to Canada: digital services. There is a long list of retaliations that, unlike tariffs, would constitute sensible policies in this area. We could proceed immediately with "the Netflix tax" — GST/HST applied to imported digital services, which are currently exempt, unlike domestic digital services. Instead of waiting for the conclusion of the OECD's interminable discussions about taxing the corporate income of multinational technology companies, we could go ahead with a French-style tax on Big Tech's digital revenues. We could also pursue the Australian approach and require technology platforms to pay royalties to Canadian providers of internet content.



A more positive step would be to seek re-approval of Keystone XL within the context of a North American pact to achieve reliable, cheap energy and responsible energy development. Canada is in a strong position to provide all forms of energy, including electricity, to the U.S. market. And we should be harmonizing carbon policies to minimize trade distortions. At the same time, the U.S. would further its geopolitical goals by promoting North American energy sources rather than depending on less reliable foreign allies for imports.
