Gents, one more week, and we'll have a new president. What are your thoughts on some of the first things he'll do?
It's estimated that he'll sign over 100 executive orders, which includes reversing at least 50+ some-odd Biden EOs. Word on the street is that they've already written them up, ready to go, they just need him to formally sign them on his first day.

Hopefully one of those executive orders is to complete the Keystone pipeline from Canada. Screw the environmentalists and help the entire country.

What comes through that pipeline may cost you 25% more thanks to Trump.

Hah... what's silly about that though, is that this will immediately price Canadian oil out of the market. Oil comes from a variety of places, and the refineries will get it from wherever it's cheapest. This also helps U.S. interests, because then with oil being more expensive, it actually facilitates increased drilling and fracking at other sites. I'm sure the people who know, know this in Canada, and the people who merely said this as a threat, have no idea what they're talking about. It's actually pretty crazy... but it will definitely not work in their favor at all. It'll decimate the oil industry in Canada, and moderately increase the price of gasoline in the United States by maybe 15% in the beginning, but would go down as other sources replace those imports. At that point, Canada would then need to actually provide the oil at a discount in order to get their market share back. This is basic economics...

Gee golly whiz. That pipeline is not exclusively for Canadian oil. How much did Canada pay to construct that pipeline ? Believe you me, Canada will have to sell it at world prices, or sit on it. How many refineries does Canada have ?

As mentioned above, there are so many reasons Canada should not do this but, it's Canada's decision.
So be it.............. Could be that US jobs could come back to the US also. One never knows how things will end up but, we know who needs who more. 
A more secure border makes one hell of a lot of sense for both countries.
