For days, the commentariat has talked endlessly about the great personal relationship between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Biden, and how great the change in the White House will be for Canada. Both are clearly untrue. If their relationship was so great, Biden would have delayed his decision until they'd had a chance to meet and discuss the consequences of it. If Biden is going to be so great for Canada, his first act would not have been to strike a blow to an industry that exports more than $100 billion in products, mostly to the U.S.
But who can blame the Americans when our political leaders cheer them on and do the same? Trudeau cancelled the Northern Gateway pipeline and TC Energy cancelled Energy East after seeing no clear path to approval. If we don't want to build pipelines to get our own resources to market off our own shores, why should they?
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has announced her intention to rescind the permit for Line 5 through the straits of Mackinac, which will cut off the supply of oil to refineries in Sarnia, Ont. Those refineries produce gasoline and diesel to power eastern Canadian cars, propane to heat their homes and aviation fuel for Pearson International Airport.
Ontario and Quebec better wake up. This misery is coming your way next.

Rejoining the Paris climate agreement as it stands now will have devastating economic consequences for the United States, with little actual environmental benefit, according to experts.
President Joe Biden on Jan. 20 signed an executive order to rejoin the global pact, one of his first major moves as president. According to the United Nations, developed countries under the agreement should "take the lead in providing financial assistance to countries that are less endowed and more vulnerable," while also encouraging voluntary contributions by other countries.
While "well intentioned," the agreement was flawed economically and environmentally from the get-go, according to Nicolas Loris, deputy director of the Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation.
"It will be very costly for Americans families and business because 80 percent of our energy needs are met though carbon-emitting conventional fuels," Loris told The Epoch Times. "Regulating them and subsidizing alternatives is going to harm American families and taxpayers.
"Because there is really no teeth to the Paris climate accord, developing countries are getting a free pass in terms of their emissions," he said. "It's likely that the Paris climate accord is not going to reach its intended goal."
A 2016 Heritage Foundation report authored by Loris and other experts explores the consequences the United States would face if part of the Paris Agreement. The report, titled "Consequences of Paris Protocol: Devastating Economic Costs, Essentially Zero Environmental Benefits," analyzed the costs of the economic fallout as well as the impact it would have on reducing carbon emissions globally.
Businesses are going to pass on these costs to the consumer, according to Loris.
"We estimate that over a 15-year period, you're talking about an aggregate loss of $20,000 per family of four," he said. "If the cost of energy is increased, Americans not only have to pay more for electricity and at the pump, but they will also have to pay more for groceries, going out to eat, or buying clothes, as it all takes energy to make."
The economic hit to families will be significant and would disproportionately impact the poor, who spend the highest percentage of their budget on energy costs, Loris said.
"It's a very regressive policy, rather than something that should be more proactive and innovation-focused that can lead to economic and environmental well-being," he said.
"This agreement really achieved neither ... The real bottom line is that it's all economic pain and no real climate gain from a global perspective."
Anthony Watts, senior research fellow of environment and climate at The Heartland Institute, said according to their analysis, the agreement would cost the United States "about 2.7 million jobs by 2025 due to scaling back parts of industries. Now that would have been about 440,000 manufacturing jobs that we would have lost."
The United States formally left the Paris accord in November 2020, though President Donald Trump had talked about leaving as early as 2017. Trump criticized the deal for negatively impacting the U.S. economy, while noting that some other countries wouldn't be held to the same standards.
"Under the agreement China will be able to increase these emissions by a staggering number of years—13," Trump said. "They can do whatever they want for 13 years. Not us. ... There are many other examples."
Meanwhile, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell called Biden's move a step in the wrong direction. He said the United States has "already been reducing carbon emissions while China and other nations in the agreement have kept increasing theirs."
"The president re-entered the failed Paris climate agreement—a terrible bargain that would set us up to self-inflict major economic pain on working American families with no assurance that China or Russia would honor their commitments," McConnell said on Jan. 21.

Lock downs, cancelling energy development projects, raising taxes, today's left is destroying the working class.But my thoughts kept coming back to an email I received earlier this week. Peter wrote to me a few days ago to tell me his younger brother Norm had died.

They tried to get support from family in Vancouver, but by then they were in full siege of addiction and they moved to a city with even easier access to harder street drugs. Grandma threw them out after a couple of months.

The old man liked Tommy Douglas. I admire him too. Old Tommy, would be rolling in his grave that these anti blue collar elitist wankers stole the socialist label.
Douglas was one of the most caring, effective and smart politicians ever .. or rather a movement leader .. of the original and caring left
My grandfather, also CCF was a Mayor in Ontario, and they were good friends and helped bring some change. I recall as a kid being privy to one side of many phone calls between them
While I evolved right of center, they both remain special gems to me to this day
Paul Martin Sr used my grandfather as a go-between to Douglas (who was on the prairies) and use many of his and their ideas in setting up the original Health Care for Canada. Martin Sr was also a gem and ready to get good ideas from all parties .. Jr, not so much
Today's left bears no resemblance to that original Douglas breed .. in fact newer leaders of the CCF even changed the name to NDP to help escape the promise of the original CCF .. and start to become just another party ,, and the useless left of today

Eggs Actly
Brings back a memory. I've said how my "dedicated" CCF & Mayor grandfather was buddies with Tommy ... well unlike many other of my relatives who went for political office with no "true" cause beyond their own well being and political expediency, he saw the left going astray and stopped supporting it.
I was so lucky to have such a genuine person as a grandfather & example

WHITEHORSE - Yukon Premier Sandy Silver says a federal government decision to refer a proposed mining development back to a territorial assessment board sends a "troubling signal."
A statement from Silver's office says the referral creates "unreasonable and unnecessary uncertainty" for developer BMC Minerals.
The Kudz Ze Kayah project is a proposed open pit and underground zinc, silver, copper, gold and lead mine east of Whitehorse, and Silver says the territory's assessment board had already issued recommendations about it.
He says Yukon was prepared to accept the recommendations and proceed, but the federal referral derails any action.
The project has undergone four years of review since BMC Minerals took it over in January 2015.
Natural Resources Canada did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Silver says his government opposes the referral and believes the territory's assessment board was reasonable to allow work to proceed with added improvements and monitoring.
"The Government of Canada absolutely needs to take steps to streamline these processes going forward to ensure greater clarity and certainty for the mining industry," Silver says in the release issued Monday.

New Mexico business leaders, Republican figureheads, the oil industry, and workers in the state were quick to voice their opposition to the executive order, saying it would destroy the state's economy. Some told The Epoch Times the move would force workers to relocate to states such as Texas, while others worried the freeze would become permanent.
Half of New Mexico's oil and gas production is on federal land and amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties each year.
"It's going to force us to buy more oil from nations that support terrorism," Steve Pearce, chairman of the New Mexico Republican Party, told The Epoch Times. "And it's going to hurt New Mexico's economy, which has already been devastated by the governor's response to COVID."
Under Biden's actions, roughly 50,000 jobs could be lost in the state, with potential losses of $3.5 billion, as most of the state's core production comes from federal lands, said Pearce, who warned America would face "tremendous shortages."

"I would say 'President Biden, I do believe you made a bad decision putting Keystone on the backburner,'" said Francis, who leads a coalition of Canadian First Nations that entered into an equity agreement on the Keystone XL pipeline.
"I don't think he realizes how far behind we are as Indigenous people from an economic development perspective.
"This could change the outlook of all First Nations in Canada and the US."
Natural Law Energy, a group of five Alberta and Saskatchewan First Nations, entered into a $1 billion equity agreement for a 12 per cent stake of TC Energy's Keystone XL pipeline project last September.
Francis, the president of Natural Law Energy and Chief of the Nekaneet First Nation near Maple Creek, is also a father and a grandfather who sees the $8 billion project as an economic lifeline that will help pull First Nations out of poverty while staking out a brighter future for generations to come.

Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican and the representative of a major fossil fuel-producing state, said the Safeguarding Oil and Gas Leasing and Permitting Act and the Safeguarding Coal Leasing Act would force the Biden administration to obtain a joint resolution of approval from Congress before implementing any federal moratorium on oil and gas leasing or permitting or coal leasing.
The bills are similar to one from Wyoming Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R), which is also likely to be formally introduced Thursday.
These are real people thaty Biden is firing.

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday vowed to oppose what he called the Biden administration's bid to destroy jobs with its volley of actions targeting the oil and gas industry.
Abbott signed an executive order during a press conference in Odessa on Thursday, which directed all state agencies to sue the Biden administration for any federal actions that threaten the Lone Star state's energy sector.
"Texas is going to protect the oil and gas industry from any type of hostile attack launched from Washington D.C.," Abbott said. "President Biden's embrace of the green new deal is a job killer in Texas. It also takes a wrecking ball to the energy independence that Texas has been able to provide to the United States of America and Texas is not going to stand idly by and watch the Biden administration kill jobs in Midland, in Odessa or any other place across the entire region," he added.
Abbott's order (pdf) came on the heels of a series of executive actions taken by President Joe Biden in the name of fighting "climate change." These include the decision to revoke authorization for the Keystone pipeline, the decision to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord, and a moratorium on issuing new oil and gas leases on federal land and waters.

Abbott signed an executive order during a press conference in Odessa on Thursday, which directed all state agencies to sue the Biden administration for any federal actions that threaten the Lone Star state's energy sector.
"Texas is going to protect the oil and gas industry from any type of hostile attack launched from Washington D.C.," Abbott said. "President Biden's embrace of the green new deal is a job killer in Texas. It also takes a wrecking ball to the energy independence that Texas has been able to provide to the United States of America and Texas is not going to stand idly by and watch the Biden administration kill jobs in Midland, in Odessa or any other place across the entire region," he added.
Abbott's order (pdf) came on the heels of a series of executive actions taken by President Joe Biden in the name of fighting "climate change." These include the decision to revoke authorization for the Keystone pipeline, the decision to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord, and a moratorium on issuing new oil and gas leases on federal land and waters.https://www.theepochtimes.com/texas-governor-orders-agencies-to-sue-biden-administration-for-climate-actions-that-kill-jobs_3677062.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-01-29-1
I hope the governor is successful.

'It's going to hurt a lot of people, a lot of families, a lot of communities'
The cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline was one of President Joe Biden's first actions in the White House. TC Energy Corporation, the Canadian company behind the Keystone XL pipeline project, said they would cut more than 11,000 jobs.
One of the Americans who lost their job due to President Biden's action is Neal Crabtree, a welding foreman who began working on pipeline construction as an apprentice in 1997. Crabtree, a member of Pipeliners Local Union 798, poured out his heart on how he reacted to finding out about the layoffs and how the cancellation of the pipeline will directly impact him.
"I build pipelines, I'm used to layoffs. We start projects knowing that once it's complete, we're getting laid off," Crabtree wrote in a Facebook post that has been shared 4,000 times. "We depend on these temporary projects though to make a career."
"What happened today was different," said Crabtree, who was working on a pump station for the Keystone XL pipeline in Nebraska. "I got laid off for political reasons and stupidity and the future doesn't look so bright."
"I've got a sickening feeling in my stomach tonight and an aching feeling in my heart that I've never felt," the 46-year-old welder from Arkansas revealed.
"At the end of every job, I always shake the hands of the people I hire and the people that are sent from our Unions out of work list before they're laid off," he explained. "We laugh and smile and are proud of a job well done."
"Today it wasn't like that, I laid guys off because the President doesn't want them to work," Crabtree divulged. "I went to my truck and literally cried."
Following the viral and heartwrenching Facebook post, the now unemployed Crabtree told his story during an appearance on Fox News.
"It's been a hot political fight, but we got started on it this year," he said of the pipeline. "As soon as the new administration came in on day one, they decided they wanted to put 11,000 people out of work."
"Well, I mean, the president was able to, you know, put us out of work by signing a piece of paper, but I'm the one that had to let these people in and tell them I didn't have a job anymore," Crabtree said during an interview on "The Faulkner Focus." "I'm the one who had to look these people in the eye and tell them they didn't have a job anymore, so if I got a little emotional, I think that's only human."
"We go all over the country and we depend on these projects to provide a living for our families," he said. "I don't know what I'm going to do right now. It's tough."
Last week, the Biden administration's Transportation Secretary nominee Pete Buttigieg told pipeline workers to find new jobs.
"We are very eager to see those workers continue to be employed in good-paying union jobs, even if they might be different ones," Buttigieg said.
Crabtree responded to politicians telling him to find a new job, "I don't consider this a job, I consider it a career."
"You spend a lifetime fine-tuning your skills and if you go start another job you're starting at the bottom," he articulated. "I doubt that these politicians would like it if someone told them to go start over and find a different job."
"Just like the rest of the country, COVID hurt us bad. We had a lot of projects canceled," Crabtree told Fox News. "We've got guys that haven't worked in months, and in some cases years, and to have a project of this magnitude canceled, it's going to hurt a lot of people, a lot of families, a lot of communities."
Crabtree believes that President Biden's decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline was based on politics, and not climate change.
"For the president to sit up there and tell the American public that he canceled this project because of climate reasons, it simply isn't true," Crabtree pointed out. "This oil is already coming into this country."
"This pipeline wasn't going to be the start of it," Crabtree noted. "It's coming by rail cars every single day. Hundreds, thousands of them."
"A pipeline can do this safer. Common sense tells you that," he continued. "Common sense said we don't need to put American workers out of a job right now."
"Common sense says this pipeline needs to be built," Crabtree said, then criticized the Biden administration, "Common sense seems to be lacking in the early days of this administration."
Crabtree seemingly made a veiled condemnation of President Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who has overseas business dealings with CEFC China Energy and Ukrainian gas company Burisma, which he was a board member of.
"It bothers me when they're overseas setting up family members to profit off the same thing they want to stop here in America. That''s definitely aggravating," he stated.
Crabtree ended the interview by saying, "I'm in the process of trying to live the American dream right now, I'm building a house – the bank may own it before I ever get a chance to live in it. So I'm definitely worried."
"I'm not giving up," Crabtree said. "We're going to keep fighting. I'm not giving up."

I was watching some Biden employee try and spin these stupid dismissals of oil and gas workers as opportunities for new jobs. It's the same bullshit Obama was preaching twelve years ago that never happened. Coal fired power plants were decommissioned, but they were replaced with natural gas fired electricity. hydraulic fracturing made the drop in emissions possible, not subsidies to corrupt wike corporations making bullshit wind and solar promises that benefit their shareholders and China only.
Progtard oligarchs will create prosperity by firing people who are already prosperous.

Speaking at a press conference, Noem distributed to the media copies of a Washington Examiner article about a Midland hotel owner and former pipe workers who are reeling from the administration's cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline project. As one of his first executive actions, President Biden fulfilled a campaign promise to environmental activists to shut down the project, a move that will destroy at least 11,000 jobs and has angered labor unions.
"The article talks about Laurie Cox, who runs a hotel in Midland. She's not sure how she's going to make ends meet and most of her clientele were pipeline workers. She says that she and the workers became like family in recent months," Noem told the media.
"The article also references Trudy Flesner, who runs a truck stop in Milesville. Trudy expanded her operation in anticipation of extra business to provide lodging and services to those who were working on the pipeline. And now that expanded investment appears to be wasted," she continued. "It's an excellent piece of reporting because it goes beyond the data and the statistics to tell the personal stories behind this executive action.
"I want to have a candid conversation with all of you," Noem said, addressing the reporters gathered there. "This article was written by an organization and an entity out of Washington, D.C. Why is that? Why is it that no South Dakota reporters covered the real life impacts of the loss of the pipeline?
"If I had taken an action that had ended hundreds or thousands of jobs in South Dakota with the stroke of a pen, I know for a fact that all of you would have covered it," she added. "I know that if former President Trump had taken an action that had ended hundreds or thousands of jobs for South Dakota families, you would have covered that. And that's how it should be. But frankly, I would expect all of you to treat this new administration exactly the same way. Let's make sure we hold them to the same standard."

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) took the media to task Thursday, chastising state reporters for failing to cover the negative economic impact of President Joe Biden's decision to cancel the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

These are real people who's lives are ruined with the stroke of a pen by a government who doesn't know nor care about their pain.

'When Do They Get Their Green Jobs?': Psaki Jousts With Fox's Peter Doocy About Laid Off Oil And Gas Workers
When called on by Psaki, Doocy began by asking about the thousands of workers in the fossil fuels industry who are out of a job, or may soon be out of a job, due to the Biden administration's policies concerning the industry.
"When is it that the Biden administration is going to let the thousands of fossil fuel industry workers, whether it's pipeline workers or construction workers, who are either out of work or will soon be out of work because of the Biden EO, when it is and where it is they can go for their green job?" Doocy asked. "That is something the administration has promised. There is now a gap, so I'm just curious when that happens, when those people can count on that?"
"But there are people living paycheck to paycheck. There are now people out of jobs once the Keystone pipeline stops construction ... So what do these people who need money now, when do they get their green jobs?" Doocy continued.

But, those workers don't have jobs and can't pay their bills because of cold hearted politicians like Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau..
It's not like they took away their jobs and offered fired workers similar ones utilizing their skill sets and with similar wages and benefits.....that never occurs..
It's about jobs, but it's about losing them, never creating them.

This is something that Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden don't undertand as they callously fire people and raise taxes on fuel, electricity, and home heating.

Federal NDP propose doubling gas-tax funding to cities to aid economic recovery
OTTAWA — Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he thinks the federal gas-tax fund that provides cities with cash for infrastructure projects should be doubled to stimulate local economic recoveries.
Singh made the proposal, which had the feel of a campaign pledge, during a meeting Friday with the mayors of Canada's biggest cities.
The gas-tax fund is one of the few mechanisms the federal government has to send money directly to cities instead of having to move it through provinces, but the money can only be used on capital projects, not to supplement operating budgets.
This year, the total funding was worth $2.2 billion.
Singh says the funding should be doubled for the next four years.
In a release, the NDP leader says the pandemic has been hard on cities and the federal government should give municipalities tools to quickly get back on their fiscal feet.
Doubling the gas-tax fund isn't new.
The Liberals doubled funding in 2019 to $4.4 billion as an end-run around provinces the government argued were holding up project approvals and slowing the oft-criticized flow of federal construction dollars.
As the pandemic ate into municipal budgets last year, the Liberals decided to move gas-tax funds in one shot in June so the cash would hit local coffers faster.

MURDO, S.D.—For more than a decade, Jeff Birkeland had been waiting expectantly in the hope that the Keystone XL (KXL) pipeline would finally materialize and bring with it a much-needed boost to his rural community. His dreams were dashed overnight.
Birkeland is the CEO of West Central Electric Cooperative, which is located in Murdo, a small city in South Dakota with a population of less than 1,000. TransCanada, now known as TC Energy, the firm that commissioned the KXL pipeline, first approached his company back in 2008.
In 2011, he signed a contract with TC Energy to build a transmission line and two substations that would serve power along the KXL route. West Central Electric was meant to start producing power for pump stations along the XL route as early as November 2011, before the pipeline was put on hold.
In March 2019, then-President Donald Trump granted TC Energy a presidential permit to construct and operate the XL pipeline. Biden revoked that permit via executive order in one of his first moves as president.
"It basically shut a lot of what we were doing down overnight," Birkeland told The Epoch Times. "We're out $90 million, that's what that means to us."
Electric co-ops are private companies that deliver electricity to their customers, also known as members. Rural electric cooperatives serve 56 percent of the nation and account for about 12 percent of total electricity sales in the United States, according to the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.
There are multiple co-ops in the area that range in size in terms of employees and areas they cover. West Central Electric has more than 3,671 members and covers more than 7,000 square miles, and Birkeland said the cancellation of the project hits small rural communities like Murdo especially hard.
Birkeland fired off a number of figures highlighting the negative economic effects of the KXL cancellation, during an interview at his office.
If they had been able to start work on the project in 2012, school districts in the area would have received $1.7 million in tax revenue, he said. South Dakota will also miss out on $4 million in state sales taxes. And if the entire pipeline was up and running, it was expected to generate more than $100 million in property tax revenue along the route. The pipeline would also contribute $3.4 billion to the GDP of the United States on an annual basis.
His company now has $14 million worth of materials sitting idly in the warehouse.
"Essentially, this tells me our rates are going up," he said. "We're sparsely populated and this load represented growth and opportunity for our members. That's what's tough—if you sit at my desk, you're trying to figure out what's best for your members."
The cries of help from rural communities are starting to be heard. Fourteen Republican attorneys general are urging Biden to reconsider his decision to cancel a permit for the construction of the pipeline, to prevent severe economic harm. They are also threatening to take legal action.

MIDLAND, S.D.—"My husband just called me ... he just got fired," said Laurie Cox, her voice trembling ever so slightly as she put on a brave smile. But it was impossible to ignore her now-crestfallen demeanor.
Cox is the owner of a hotel in Midland, a quaint town with a population of about 100. She had just finished talking about how business was booming late last year during which she had befriended people working on the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
Workers would return from their shifts from a handful of nearby pump stations to unwind at the hotel since it was just a short drive away. Cox recalls having dinner together with the workers and lively chats night after night, many became close with her pet dog—a cute canine called Heidi.
Her husband, Wallace Cox Jr., was an industrial mechanic who had been setting pumps in Minnesota before he was laid off on Feb. 10. He was also scheduled to work on the Keystone XL pipeline—specifically on pumps in Montana in the upcoming summer.
The hotel's picturesque scene crumbled almost instantly after President Joe Biden shut down the pipeline on Jan. 20 through an executive order. The cancellation was among one of his first moves as president.
"The workers staying here all came to me and said well that's it—we're done, we're going home," Laurie told The Epoch Times, as she described the scene following the news. "As he was signing that executive order, they were getting the lay-offs."
"My heart sank," she added. "I tried to hold back everything because they're packing up. They have to go face their families, start their lives all over again, get back onto the out-of-work list, and try to figure out their next assignment."
By the time most of the workers had left the hotel, Laurie had really started thinking about the full effects of the pipeline shutdown. She didn't just lose the workers staying at her hotel, but also those who would have stayed in the future.

PHILIP, S.D.—Entire towns and communities along the route of the Keystone XL pipeline—once lively and prosperous due to the economic opportunity it brought—have been left out of money and out of hope after the project was scrapped by President Joe Biden on his first day in office.
One such town in rural South Dakota had invested heavily in their businesses in order to provide for an influx of workers the project had brought. Some businesses had even secured contracts with various companies working on the pipeline, but now have been left in deep debt and face a bleak future.
Residents of Philip, a small town with less than 900 people, knew that the construction and extra business was temporary, but also knew that the revenue it was to generate would have long-lasting effects on their economy.
Tricia Burns is the owner of a popular fitness center in Philip called Ignite Wellness Studio, a place many Keystone workers frequented. Biden's decision impacted her livelihood in three separate ways: first, her gym lost approximately $3,000 in recurring monthly income with the loss of membership alone; second, a ranch her family owned suffered a "substantial loss" due to the rise in energy and fuel costs; and third, she described a "heart wrenching loss" from not being able to see her newfound friends again, many of whom were pipeline workers forced to leave the town after being fired.
"The devastation was so evident," Burns told The Epoch Times. "Not just loss of their jobs but a bleak future of the trade they worked so hard for.
"We cried many tears as the pipeline workers came in to say goodbye to cancel their memberships, not knowing what their next move was but knowing Philip was no longer home" she added.
Terry Cunha, a spokesperson for TC Energy Corp., told The Epoch Times in January that "as a result of the presidential permit being revoked for Keystone XL, 1,000 unionized jobs will be lost in the coming weeks." Cunha did not respond when asked for more specific details about the job cuts.
Burns said her first reaction to Biden signing the executive order that cancelled the project on Jan. 20 was "disbelief followed by anger." Then the sadness started to set in. Within 20 minutes of the president's signature, workers had started cancelling their memberships.
Although she feels blessed to live in a community that supports its local businesses, Burns said the concern for their future is "very real." This anxiety and fear has become almost a daily topic and sentiment among her family, friends, and community as she explained how the growth in rural agriculture-based towns like Philip is very minimal.
The Keystone XL pipeline was a huge project expected to generate $3.4 billion in U.S. GDP growth, including millions in state and local tax revenue, according to the U.S. Chamber Global Energy Institute.
It would have generated millions of dollars of economic opportunity for South Dakotans.
Many towns like Philip are fading away, Burns said, as she described the Keystone XL Pipeline as an opportunity they will likely never see again in their lives.
"I truly couldn't believe that an executive order could be signed—one that would impact our entire nation—with little to no hesitation, in my opinion," she said.
Her indignation was shared by many in the local community.

Some of those costs associated with Biden's green plan would include switching to $55,000 electric cars and reducing meat consumption by 90%.
The cost of the Green New De could be as high as $93 trillion, according to the American Action Forum (AAF).
