President-elect Joe Biden may fulfill a pledge to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline permit via executive action on his first day in office, CBC News reported, citing people it didnâ€™t identify.

The words â€œRescind Keystone XL pipeline permitâ€ appeared on a transition briefing note for Jan. 20 -- Inauguration Day -- circulated by Bidenâ€™s transition team over the weekend, according to the Canadian report.

Bidenâ€™s transition team declined to comment.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said in a tweet and a lengthy statement that he was â€œdeeply concernedâ€ about the report that Biden may repeal the permit, although such a move had been widely expected if Biden was elected.

Not even in office and pissing off our best neighbors.

We will see a lot of people getting pissed off, so the Canadians will just have to stand in the back of the line while we Americans vent our anger at this usurper.

I now you being sarcastic, but dynamos hum, Biden at his best just sort of sputters. Love hearing Biden ask us to just give h a hundred days, like what we can trade him in if we don't like him? Why should we give him any time, he and the democrrats didn't even wait for Trump to be sworn in before they were attacking him.

And yes Biden is like a used car salseman, he reminds me of one of the sleazieist that worked out of my old home town of Lynwood, CA. in the sixties.
He was Ralph Williams the lonely Lynwood car dealer and he got so big he was prosecuted for cheating people in several states.

Joebama "you can't drill your way to lower gas prices" was wrong. So he needs to find another way to put the hurt on the working class with higher gas prices. $4 a gallon her we come........again.

With Joebama at the helm we'll prolly be given Ration books WITH removable stamps good for certain items, like sugar, meat, cooking oil, and canned goods. Can't buy a rationed item without also giving the grocer the right ration stamp. The books will fit in nicely with your new mandatory Vaccination papers without which you can not go to work and earn a living to buy rationed goods.

TC Energy Corp. has let go 1,000 workers in both the U.S. and Canada after President Joe Biden canceled the Keystone XL oil pipeline project.

â€œA majority of the 1,000 are unioned workers who have been constructing on both sides of the border,â€ Terry Cunha, a spokesman for the Calgary-based company, said by email.

Biden withdrew a permit to build the pipeline within hours of assuming office Wednesday. Construction of the pipeline, which would have transported more than 800,000 barrels a day of oil sands crude from Alberta to Nebraska, had already started last year after the government of Alberta invested $1.1 billion into the project to jump-start work....

Gotta take care of our friends like Warren Buffett regardless of what it costs the rest of us!

Alberta should sue the hell out of the US for breach of contract, as should all the US landowners who were to receive payments for right-of-way access.
