    Next to no landowners want the pipeline. They never do. They will lie to deflect.

    You're a perfect example.

    Does anyone doubt that China will not hesitate to take advantage of this deal?

    Hell, they would probably pay for the pipe and harbor facilities...........

    Are that you gullible not to realize the photo has been altered from the original. If so, it would it explain the rationale of almost all of your posts.

    Irrelevant.

    Obama is the one who doesn't want the pipeline. Read the FACTS.

    Margot don't ever expect these partisan yahoos to abide by facts, they are either unwilling or incapable. It is same junk misleading info shenanigens that are played by these characters.

    I could be wrong about that.

    So I tried to verify that Michelle and the girls were on the trip with him.

    And maybe it's just me but there seems to be a media blackout of the exact location of the family.

    I think they are on the trip but if so the pro Obama lib news media is not reporting it.

    But if Michelle is not on the trip no one is saying where she is instead.

    Similarly, after repeated attempts of my PM sending over his Financial Minister, to stop the idiot Obama from printing money wildly via the FED (as has been every other freakin nation)...he then went on a business/trade seeking mission to numerous nations to greatly increase trade with them, being left no real choice.

    Obamas has a vision, and it is a very destructive one to all of us.

    I hope his wife and daughters are with him..

    The media blackout is to make the Secret Service's job easier.

    This may seem like a serious question....sorry:

    Why can't we build refinery capacity near the Canadian border rather than build a pipeline that bisects the entire country to bring it to the Texas refineries?

    So let TransCanada Corporation build a bitumen pipeline across Western Canada to the Pacific.

    Its a good question that has been asked repeatedly... especially after the Yellowstone River oil spill.

    There are lots of people who don't want the pipeline and for good reasons. But the facts of the matter is that Oil is a finite resource and getting oil from Canada, even if it is low grade will be very appealing in the future. That is the strategic interests of the country.

    Big projects like this that can be privately funded are the "big thinking" this country needs, and what Obama talked about when running.

    I have to admit I need to read more about the pipeline, but not building it because it could leak someday is not the right balance between environment and humanity. Pick a safer route, build extra protection from rivers and make it happen.

    I think they are too because they never miss a chance cash in on their time in office.

    But how different now when the media is trying to hide their lavish lifestyle at our expense than it was when Obama first took office and the pro Obama publicity campaign covered them like rock stars.

    Obama is doing this because his far left base does not want the pipeline. That is why he will not let it happen till after the election

    So they can get it to ships going to China. Good business is to raise the barrier to entry of competitors. Build a pipeline to Texas and a change of heart to sell to China becomes a lot more difficult.

    China has their own sources much closer to home.

    I'm sure it's only because the evil oil companies want to damage the environment.

    What else could it be?

    So do we.

    They call the place Canada.

    But Obama wants to see America run out of oil so have to buy those stupid electric cars so he's burning our contacts with Canada.

    TransCanada Corporation wants the pipeline.. The labor unions want the pipeline..

    Landowners along the 1700 mile route DO NOT.
