Alberta Premier @jkenney says President Biden's decision to rescind the KXL pipeline permit is a “gut-punch” for the Canadian and Alberta economies and thousands of workers are being fired as a result. #ableg #oott
Kenney: Biden's KXL decision was made "without giving us a change to communicate with the new administration. That’s not good faith." Goes on to say that's not how you treat an ally and a friend.
Kenney says if the 'impasse' over KXL is not cleared, "the Govt of Canada must impose meaningful trade and economic sanctions in response to defend our country's vital economic interests."
@Jkenney says not doing so would create a dangerous precedent. #ableg #oil #oott
Kenney says this precedent of rescinding permits for existing cross border projects would have a big impact on other infrastructure and jobs. Mentions opposition to Enbridge's Line 3 and Line 5. Says would be "devastating" to Canada's largest industry.
Was "disappointed" to see the comments on US President Biden's decision on Keystone XL today by Garneau, Hillman, and the Prime Minister.
Kenney compares those comments today to those by Deputy PM @cafreeland during difficulties faced by the steel industry under the Trump Administration.
Calls Biden's KXL decision an "uncalled for attack against Canada's economic interests"
Kenney says he 'absolutely does not' have regrets about investing in the Keystone XL project last year.
Says this was an investment to begin construction and "take control of our own economic destiny." Says his govt was elected on a promise to get pipelines built.
Alberta Premier @jkenney: We will continue to use every legal tool at our disposal to defend jobs, economic interest in light of KXL's permit being rescinded.
Says he spoke to @TCEnergy's Russ Girling about this today. #oil #ableg #oott
Kenney now talking about steps Alberta has been reduce its carbon footprint: "Canada is part of the solution in the energy transition."
Again, calling on Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau to sit down with the US administration and discuss/review this decision.
