Canadian firm cuts 1,000 jobs after Biden revokes Keystone XL permit
By Rachel Frazin - 01/21/21 02:28 PM EST

TC Energy, the Canadian company behind the Keystone XL pipeline, says it will lay off 1,000 workers following President Biden’s decision to revoke a key permit for the pipeline.

Terry Cunha, a TC Energy spokesperson, confirmed to The Hill on Thursday that the 1,000 jobs will be lost “immediately.” Cunha declined to specify how many, if any, of those jobs were American.

Reuters obtained an email from the company to its employees announcing the job losses and stating that construction of the pipeline will be shut down in the upcoming weeks.


“I believe this will send a concerning signal to infrastructure developers that resonates far beyond our project and will stifle innovation for a practical transition towards sustainable energy,” Keystone XL President Richard Prior said in the email.

The company had said in a statement on Wednesday that “advancement of the project will be suspended.”

Yay ... bring in that oil from the ME!  /s
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Hey if just one rat, insect or tiny fish is saved that may have died during the construction and use of the pipeline, then what matter the thousands of jobs lost and families thrown into hardship, or the risk of major environmental damage from rail disasaters?

You have to look at the big picture, how are Joe, Kamala, Nancy and Chuck going to get their payoffs?
