Keystone XL is good news for Alberta
MEDICINE HAT – U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval of the Keystone XL pipeline is great news for Alberta and our oil and gas sector.
The U.S. State Department acknowledged for years that this pipeline would be good for job creation while protecting the environment. Unfortunately, the independent approval process was politicized by the previous administration.
President Trump’s announcement on Keystone XL is proof that Alberta’s oil and gas industry does not need to be punished with caps and carbon taxes to get access to tidewater.
Keystone XL is good news for Albertans. But let’s be clear, it was approved in spite of an ideological NDP government, not because of it.
