USA OUTSMARTED CANADA ON OILSANDS

    Edmonton Sun:  Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, finally realizing that the oilsands are a vital part of Canada’s economy, is struggling to get Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline built.
   There’s only one problem. While Canada certainly needs the pipeline to get our land-locked oil resources in Alberta to B.C. for export to global markets, the bigger battle has already been lost.
   The result is that the U.S., not Canada, has become the global “energy superpower” that former prime minister Stephen Harper envisioned for our country when he came to power in 2006.
