The Prime Minister of Canada Just Scolded Democrats Over The Keystone Pipeline. You’ll Agree With What He Said

The Obama Administration has been delaying construction of the Keystone Pipeline for years, refusing to commit to a pro-growth agenda and instead pandering to its most liberal supporters. Tens of thousands of jobs, and America’s energy independence, are at stake, and yet the White House refuses to take action, even though a clear majority of Americans support the Keystone Pipeline. The business community has urged the President to approve Keystone. Even unions have voiced their support, but the White House has still failed to lead.

Yesterday, Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper decided to weigh in on the Obama Administration’s continuous delaying of the Keystone Pipeline.

“How much consultation do you need to do?” Harper asked. “It’s clearly another punt.”

“The current administration continues to delay the decision,” he said.

It’s disappointing that Democrats would rather pander to their far-left liberal supporters than support a project that would boost America’s economy and create jobs.

From Bloomberg:

Canada is urging President Barack Obama’s administration to make a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline amid signs of further delays in a final ruling on the $5.4-billion project.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in an interview yesterday the U.S. move to seek more public comment suggests Obama’s government may postpone a decision further, while Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird called on the U.S. to end the “state of limbo” over the project.

“How much consultation do you need to do?” Harper said in an interview in his Ottawa office. “It’s clearly another punt.”

The U.S. State Department will give the public a second opportunity to comment on the pipeline after an environmental impact review is complete, according to an agency official who spoke on condition of anonymity this week. The agency hasn’t said how long it would accept public comments, though adding that step could delay a decision on the project that has been under U.S. review for more than five years.

“The challenges for Keystone are challenges of timing,” Harper said. “The current administration continues to delay the decision.”
