ALBERTA EXPERIENCES THING DIFFERENTLY

    Rex Murphy: When Barack Obama — he was the first — cancelled Keystone, energetic condemnation by this Liberal government was sadly lacking.
   Now that Biden has wielded the Keystone axe again, Canada — PM Trudeau — is being “honoured” by receiving the “first call from the new president.” A diplomatic quid pro quo perhaps for not making any noise over the slashing of Alberta’s prime industry.
   The only reason Keystone was slaughtered, on the first day, is to show credentials to the environmental crowd, the woke virtuous, not to mention the U.S.’s own oil and gas lobby. I remind readers the U.S. has three million miles of pipeline.
   And while we are at it, if anyone thinks the Trudeau government mourns this decision, they have not been listening to every pious global warming sermon from the PM and Catherine McKenna these past five years. They are Greener than Kermit.
