This is political posturing imo - Biden knows he cannot legally (or even logically) destroy the pipeline. He knows its going to be caught up in lawsuits and that the EO eventually means nothing.

He's just doing this so he can point to the court battles for an excuse for why he won't truly act on it in the end.

This is why I think Biden will be better for the right than it might have first seemed. A lot of his SJW pandering is pure, grade-A Democrat bull shit. When have they ever really followed through on any of this shit?

Once the left finally realizes this, we'll see a lot more conversions to the right - especially as people are growing older and more cynical.

Could be a kick back scheme.

Just think about this: Whenever it comes to tax payers having to pay up for this shit, there is corruption involved. I'd bet my ass off that some people in politics make a LOT of money by doing something which gets them sued. And they get the money from the people that sue and are likely to win.

It's TAX PAYER MONEY, so nobody cares. Well, except us.

These are the schemes these people pull off to enrich themselves.

I think you're right about Biden, he's better for the right than the left. The real far left hates Biden. They hate Harris too. They have screwed themselves over Trump.

I'm just saying that a Biden presidency pulls us farther right, not saying that's good at all. For example if they manage to get Pence in.

They never had a problem with the XL pipeline. It runs all over the country. It's just this one section Obama has been using as a weapon like he did everything else. He fucking hates America with all his heart. Putting 50K people on the street looking for jobs in this shit economy. Diabolical.

Both US and Canadian government will block any lawsuits.

Trudeau's statement:

Earlier today, Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States of America. While we welcome the President's commitment to fight climate change, we are disappointed but acknowledge the President’s decision to fulfil his election campaign promise on Keystone XL.

I spoke directly with President Biden about the project last November, and Ambassador Hillman and others in our government made the case to high-level officials in the incoming administration.

Workers in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and across Canada will always have our support. Canada is the single-largest supplier of energy to the United States, contributing to U.S. energy security and economic competitiveness, and supporting thousands of jobs on both sides of the border.

Despite President Biden's decision on the project, we would like to welcome other executive orders made today, including the decisions to rejoin the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization, to place a temporary moratorium on all oil and natural gas leasing activities in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and to reverse the travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries.

I look forward to working with President Biden to reduce pollution, combat climate change, fight COVID-19, create middle class jobs, and build back better by supporting a sustainable economic recovery for everyone.

Good to know. I hope the Usurper Bidet Admin gets buried in lawsuits every day and ends up an ineffectual lame duck.

Suing the American government, who probably lost energy jobs that wouldn't exist but for American government interference.

But I am torn. Between carbon reduction (I am pro-global-warming) and the mutual prosperity of America and Canada (We'll succeed if Americans give the cue).

Uhm, Canada isn't just gonna, you know, sit on that oil.

They still gonna transport it. Now the question is, do you want it transported by train, ship or truck, or with a pipeline with almost zero emission overhead.

This is the same as enviromentalists protesting nuclear energy. No, you are wrong, this is the way, and not seeing that makes you a child, not an activist. I am sorry the world can't magically phase out one of its core resources, so reducing the overhead they have is a good thing

I expect Trudeau will try to facilitate the pipeline to the west coast and sell off the asset to China.

It's not a good thing when transport to America is bottlenecked and it is facilitated for transport to China. Who do you think that helps?

Pipelines better then shipping oil on a train or overseas for the environment. However if your someone who looks at global warming from the "we need to be carbon neutral yesterday" crowd I can see being against It.

At this point it will just be a monument to government waste of money

I think some people failed to realize I was joking.

I live in Canada dude. I want the weather to be warmer. If I have to cut down every tree, burn every oilfield and wipe out every plankton bloom, I'm going to make the world warmer. ;)

Officially the government cannot be sued without permission.

This is correct, known as sovereign immunity. It can't be sued unless it wants itself to. But it frequently allows itself to.
