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
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

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?
