Jason Kenney is bringing up the conspiracy theories referenced in the Allan inquiry reports. That nefarious forces are conspiring to crush Alberta's oil industry for... reasons. Shame that they haven't actually proven that out.
Kenney just called the $1.5 billion investment in Keystone a "prudent investment" that "protects taxpayers." He's entered cuckooland.
James Rajotte, Alberta's trade rep in Washington D.C., has been burning up the phone lines. For all the good it's done. As has Kenney. Just furiously making phone calls.
Jason Kenney talking about how Biden needs to "respect the unions" is hilarious considering how much damage he's done to the labour movement in just 21 months.
Kenney says that yes, it's currently impossible for the province to procure vaccines. Maybe the province could procure its own vaccines if another vaccine gets approved.
Good news folks. We can offset some of our losses by our catastrophically dumb investment in the Keystone XL by selling off the leftover pipe.
Kenney says that there is currently more than a billion of Alberta citizen's money that could be lost due to this foolhardy investment. The issue of the loan guarantees is still an open question it sounds like.
For the second time he's called the investment prudent and that he was protecting taxpayer dollars.
And now he's doubling down on the conspiracy theory behind the Allan inquiry. That nefarious forces are conspiring to kill pipelines in order to harm Alberta and this decision could set a precedent that could kill all cross-border pipelines.
Andrew Lawton of True North gets through with a question. @jessebrown of @canadaland has described True North as an anti-immigrant think tank/media organization.
