TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney raised the prospect of reviving the contentious Keystone XL pipeline project with U.S. President Donald Trump during his White House visit this week, a government official familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

A Canadian company pulled the plug on it four years ago after the Canadian government failed to persuade then-President Joe Biden to reverse his cancellation of its permit on the day he took office. It was to transport crude from the oil sand fields of western Canada to Steele City, Nebraska. Trump previously revived the long-delayed project during his first term after it had stalled under the Obama administration.

It would have moved up to 830,000 barrels (35 million gallons) of crude daily, connecting in Nebraska to other pipelines that feed oil refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Canadian government official said Trump was receptive to the idea when it was talked about during their White House meeting Wednesday. The official said Carney linked energy cooperation to Canada’s steel and aluminum sectors, which is subject to 50% U.S. tariffs. The official spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Carney mentioned building major projects and “unleashing Canadian energy" in a live video call with business leaders in Toronto on Wednesday. Biden canceled Keystone XL's border crossing permit in 2021 over longstanding concerns that burning oil sands crude could make climate change worse and harder to reverse.

1. Why would he do that?

That would make annexing Canada more desirable as TSF would want to own all of the Pipeline.

7. I will tell you why he would do that. We have a female Trump Premier of Alberta who is

trying to stir up all kinds of trouble in Canada if she doesn't get a "pipeline" to increase Alberta's oil production. She has decided to pick a fight and try to divide other Canadian Premiers by wanting a pipeline through BC, which is never going to happen. Trudeau already put one through there to the west coast and the citizens of BC will never go for another, especially for Danielle Smith and her ilk.

So by re-establishing the pipeline to the US (which has all approvals in place from years ago) it gives Alberta more oil production but also to build that pipeline from top to bottom of the US is going to take what? Steel and lots of it, meaning US will need Canadian steel to help build it. It will help get high tariffs off our steel, and increase our steel production.
Mr. Carney is not stupid, he is one step ahead of everyone else, he knows what he is doing and we are lucky to have him.

11. Interesting point

Thanks for the information.

2. A krasnov person said this. I would bet who really raised the idea.

[Bev54]

9. Maybe and maybe not. See my reply #7 above

10. Thank you for that excellent information. But until Carney himself

says it, I do not automatically give it credence.

3. trump won't miss an opportunity to endanger the environment

Just one more thing he cares nothing about.

[Miguelito Loveless]

4. Carney is apparently afraid of oil interests

and is trying to appease them.

Multinational corporations are now an existential threat to the planet.

5. They have been an existential threat to human life...

and other life forms on this planet.

Not that long ago, this century, I read an article
saying that research has shown that warming
endangers large life forms but not small ones.

No matter who won the election, this was always
going to happen since the time for mitigation
has already passed.

We could have slowed it down a bit, and maybe
even had a chance to figure out some fancy
scientific way to reverse it.

But not now.

6. Like are democracy,

it is over.

8. Nope, read my reply #7 above.
