Biden Signs Executive Actions Impacting Other Countries Worldwide | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC
As a Canadian I’m happy!
Me too
@GeneralCurtis3LeMay I notice you took your name from the ex-USAF general who wanted to bomb Cuba during the1962 missile crisis, and suggested invading Cuba even after the Soviets withdrew their missiles, either of which which would have caused WW3.
LeMay also was the running mate for presidential candidate George Wallace, the racist former governor of Alabama, who ran on a pro-segregation platform in 1968.
Between being a war monger and a racist, I don’t respect LeMay’s judgement. Or yours.
@David Ramsay , Listen stop acting like a somebody. You have views but so does everybody else. I know all about General LeMay. You’re being really silly trying to teach an expert something about his subject. Just shut your pie hole and listen to your superiors express their views.
@GeneralCurtis3LeMay I notice you’re not coming back with an argument, only an ad hominem. If you’re an expert as you say, you should be able to express an expert opinion.
So far, not only have you not expressed an opinion, but you haven’t even expressed a point.
Good bye, troll.
@David Ramsay You know not a thing, you make assumptions and show you’re ignorant. Just try to keep your big pie hole shut for a little while.
I live in Alberta and despise our Premier. He’s an oil company shill who has been attacking public healthcare DURING the pandemic. He has been an absolute nightmare for our province and an embarrassment to our province and country.
@John Konrad we need something to transition TO. And we don’t have it yet. I am not a fan of jumpig off a ledge and hoping someone catched me on the way down. Most ppl have families and children and have never even MET Kenny. Unless you can prove to me that he;s the devil incarnate….guess what? irrelevant. And Biden had no problem honoring Trump’s generous letter yesterday. So who gives a crap that you don’t like Kenny?
100% Im here too, Kenney is a monster
@Rocky Mountain And the oil sands are such a ” CLEAN ” economy.
@Rocky Mountain and having to suffer a planet made uninhabitable because of the oil industry is no joke either.
@Candice D L Kenney is the Canadian version of Ted Cruz~~
I am Canadian Albertan and happy the KXL pipeline is canceled.
@UCmfk8CaMxkIYz01YinLooQw Well, you see the issue was, they were going to get and use the oil either way, it was just a matter of whether it was our oil or someone else’s. We figured it should be ours because more money means better country infrastructure, and better ability to transition into our own green plan.
The issue now is more just that you cant really back out of an international deal like this, so late into development, with 0 repercussions. Otherwise Russia would be telling countries ever other day to build pipelines they never intend to follow up on, just to cripple their economies. Plus it’s just unfair to us Canadians in general.
@S It’s funny, because it’s mostly caused by white privilege. ^.^; I <3 Irony.
@Andreas Elia 1.) They aren’t my numbers, they were the dude’s behind me.
2.) Without any form of evidence/ sources to back up your claims, your numbers are just as incredible as his.
@Andra Book Hydrogen plants would be a good start, considering hydrogen engines will likely replace electric cars in the relatively near future. Solar and wind turbines are fine, but hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. Not likely to run out anytime soon.
@Howard Moon H2O…you can’t extract all hydrogen without running into a bottle neck there, and serious acidity issues in the mean time. I’m telling you, we need a serious look at this to come up with a workable plan to actually fix climate change. But yes, its something to keep in mind
Why doesn’t Canada just build a refinery there and keep all the dirty sands and pollution there?
Once refined, shipping it anywhere in the world is easier from the Gulf of Mexico rather than using trains to get it to a coastal port. Additionally, the US government and every federal state the pipeline runs through will get some cut or financial kick back.
HOLLA!
@John Konrad Well there you go, leaving Canada will have you surrounded by countries that will reject your main source of income.
That’s a smart move isn’t it?
Instead of getting huffy about thing that should have taken place when oil was in vogue, Kenney should have plowed all that recently invest billions into Blue Hydrogen, or sustainable alternatives.
Don’t get made at 90% of the country because you don’t know enough to use all the tools on your belt.
Not going to start sniping at Canada. Best neighbors on the planet, and they have been very very decent to us through acid rain and our latest descent into madness. They’ll work out the right thing to do.
@Gabo0n VIP3R 🇺🇲🇨🇦❤️
Thank’s Joe, for doing what our Prime Minister said he’d do but didn’t.
@steve marshall racism at the hands of donald trump. can you not read?
@meg which race
@Helen Short I believe the term was not enough cheating to change the election, then they didn’t investigate.
@Nick O’Demus And again!
@steve marshall Tip for The last @ Belmont from mystic meg!
Clothes Line
Put your shirt on it!
Let piplines die, as someone worked on them and on solar, I can tell you solar are soooo much better.
@S chine is oil deficient
@Thomas Warner are paid to say
@Thomas Warner nope produced by the planet…..iraq has sweet crude….right at the surface easy to
get…..who controls it now? weapons of mass destruction lol
ww1 why did the british have the bulk of their military in the middle east? lawrence od arabia….ottoman empire
@Thomas Warner geeze i thought you wanted to learn something…dont act like a repeater
everybody in that region is a semite. jordanians, palestinions, syrians….dogwhistle is a cnn term
@Thomas Warner now good luck proving me wrong on anything….been doing this for 25 years
Canadians I know are happy about it.
They’re happy about losing a 1.5 billion dollar investment?
So, you are happy that China will build your country a pipeline to your west coast, which will cross more than half your country instead of a short pipeline to your southern border?? Sure sounds ignorant to me if you consider yourself an environmentalist! OR, maybe you are ignorant enough to believe that NO more pipelines will ever be built and everything will be solar??
Omg you could at least not copy paste your response. “S”
@Reason Call it a write off. Trudeau and Kenney made foolish decisions to appease some cry babies who wont evolve.
Don’t misrepresent it, Trump’s relationship with Russia WASN’T “strange” it was Servile.
Trump is the godfather of GOP, while Putin is the Trump’s godfather.
Fealty.
The Russians have only contempt for such an attitude and he deserves it.
@kantenklaus irk ..sniveling fool
There are Canadians who are for the cancellation of the Keystone.
@Steve Farmer your vote counted, but so did ours and there are more of us.
@Steve Farmer if I clicked a link from you my phone would have to ingest disinfectant like a trump supporter with covid.
@S WE teach our children that they can walk a little more often so that they don’t depend on big trucks and for what…go get a bread on the corner of the street, we bring them in the woods and teach them how beautiful nature is and how it work when there is something that don’t fit in nature “Dame Nature ” take care of it…and then our duty will be done they will be the guardian of the nature…..
Waaaaah! Change your diaper!
@Steve Farmer :There was no fraud.Trump lost;get over it.
Oh… Yet again, Alberta is in the news.
Funny how under Jason Kenney… It’s always as an embarrassment
Hfis that

oh good
Most Canadians are happy about the cancellation of the pipeline. You should have specified Canadian politicians and investors. Also, the prime minister is notoriously not green – he has voted for environmental destruction – especially on native lands – for profit time and time again. This was a very misleading and slanted report.
YOUR statement is a very misleading and slanted take, I”m afraid, and you’re are speaking with an authority I don’t believe you posess.
R U 1 2 when Keystone was celebrating its highest Canadian approval numbers, it was still only at like 50%. It’s really not that scandalous to say that the majority of Canadians are ok with this. That’s just kind of accepted. We still “lost” when the pipeline was approved. Because the higher-ups made it so. Majority doesn’t rule in these decisions. That’s why we vote.
Canadian reporting in. Very happy about it. The pollution isn’t worth it.
@Max Headly just by the way, also to op, this pipeline actually will reduce totoal carbon emision. Currently oil sand is being transported by truck to the US and it costs more in carbon emmision. Just cancelling the pipeline does nothing to stop using fossil fuels, it only makes things look good.
The old saying “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over again & expecting different results” applies here.We have one earth & if we don’t do something different then we’ll continue to reap the destruction of not taking care of it. Gotta start somewhere in hopes to save the only “home” we have & create more jobs.Change is scary for some but we have to take care of the earth so it will take care of us.🌈🌍
@Jean McGinnis Exactly. We’re not taking care of the earth for the earth’s sake but for ours. It will endure, we will not.
@S someone doesn’t know anything about distances.
Premier Kenny keeps making bad decisions based on his donors wants not what’s best for the country’s future. that’s why he is the least liked Premier in Canada.
The rest of Canada is happy, who do they survey!
🖕Canada, Americans fight wars to keep our land , this pipelines gives American lands to Canada , stop the Canadian land steal !
Bidenforthenext8years Pleasewearamask da fuq you talking about?

oh good
@Steph Anie The pipeline is owned by Canada they now own the land cutting through America ,, The pipeline is taking away land from Americans and giving it to Canadian oil companies, The pipeline has also leaked millions of gallons poisonous and toxic tar sands Oil into pristine wilderness ,
“Canada isn’t happy….Canadians aren’t too happy.”
No, SOME Canadians aren’t happy, namely, SOME Albertans.
Just so you Americans understand the social and political context, Alberta is the Texas of Canada. It is an oil-rich and deeply conservative province. Ted Cruz was born there (By the way, we don’t want him back).
@Mr. Pixel No, no. We gave you Justin Bieber. You can keep Cruz as a bonus.
@gbeana81 Yes, many do love Trump in Alberta, and YES, Kenney is just as unstable and fascistic as Cruz is. Scary, right?
@Chris A we don’t want Bieber or Cruz. You can take them both back. though you guys don’t necessarily need to take full responsibility for Cruz. After all, his mother was American. And yeah it is definitely scary to have unstable political leaders.
@gbeana81 No, sorry friend, “no takesies backsies.” Ted Cruz and Justin Bieber are all yours now. We revoked their Canadianness.
On a serious note, most of us Canadians are very happy our neighbours to the south have saved their own democracy. Long live the US Republic. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
@Chris A ok, ok, but when we figure out a way to exile Trump, he will be all yours! You’re welcome.
And on that more serious note, thank you so much! Many of us are happy to have our democracy back too! We have a long road to recovery, but we’re doing it! Thank you for your support.
Isn’t it time to just say goodbye to fossil fuels? Isn’t it time to protect people instead of corporations?
It’s less pollution to land, air and water and saving more of the planet for the furure generation to thrive, because there’s no planet B.
@Thomas Warner: But that’s not what negative externalities means in economics. Negative externalities have to do with an added cost to a THIRD PARTY like the consumer. Not the underlying cost of the product alone.
@Reason Yes, you’re so close to getting it. Negative externalities are hurting third parties. So, one way to remove these negative externalities, is to make people *causing* those externalities pay for it. If releasing one ton of CO2 causes $50 of social negative externalities, the person polluting should pay $50.
Exactly. Germany proved that there were a lot of jobs in green energy.
@Thomas Warner: Not quite. Look, I’m fully aware of what negative externalities are and I think you’re misunderstanding the concept. The negative externality of oil consumption is pollution. The pollution effects third parties who may not have had knowledge or a say in the original transaction. A negative externality DOES NOT mean that the PRICE of the product is artificial. It means that the cost to the third party is not taken into account in the price of the product. The product is still worth fair market value until an external force creates an added cost to it. Now, if you want to argue that the market value of the product isn’t “fair” because it’s costing third parties who weren’t involved in the first place, then we can talk about adding a tax to it. But that’s not quite the same thing as saying that the original cost of the product is “artificial”. It’s not. The only way that a tax could completely offset the negative externality is if every cent of the tax went into the pockets of the effected third party. The problem in trying to offset the negative externality by adding tax is that people who caused it in the first place don’t pay the tax. They simply add it to the price of their product thereby passing the cost of the tax onto the consumer. The third party doesn’t benefit from this.
Most Canadians outside Alberta don’t want anymore dirty oil pipe lines.
@Devin Higoy No you say but, it’s been in the works for years. It’s a smart economic move.
@john emeigh I agree however, please convert measurements for us “special” Americans.
@Wrong Folkes There’s roughly 1.9 liters in a gallon. Now, Canada has always used 40 ounces as a quart and it an imperial quart. We used to buy G.I.Q.’s (greater imperial quart) of beer. Now, they call them ‘forties’ here in the US. Canadian petrol has always been expensive; it’s worse in Britain and Europe. The whole thing is a mess. We have glut of oil; now we won’t be getting the money for the purchase of American oil. Biden says, “Saudi Arabia first!”
@Thomas Tovar real
ALMOST every person, client, and acquaintance I know in BC wanted the pipeline.
Correction, Canada is very happy about this. Only Alberta is upset, they have been told for decades that they needed to divest of the dirty oil. But they have a different ideal these days than the rest of Canada. Here is a history, that might also give you an ideal of why Canada is losing their patience with your country. https://www.westernstandardonline.com/2020/05/wagner-how-early-american-immigration-shaped-albertas-cultural-distinctiveness/

I’m glad it’s stopping because that is drilling into Native American sacred grounds
@susana brown that is an insult you’ve clearly missed the point ..:: preserving their land and history… and why would they want to move out of their native grounds to become like everyone else ..: heck no …. they too work … they too earn money…. and let me give you a little bit of American native Indian history…. they reason they get “free” benefits is because that was the “agreement “ made by the “white man” … although the Native American Indians have been robbed of their land ….
@Ginger Guzman Ms Guzman..We are living the best modern times. Is useless to go back to primitive times. Good night.
@susana brown try again, the US have broken many of the treaties that they swore to defend. Not surprised that someone like you didn’t know the history of native children who were taken away from their homes eventually becoming white washed like partaking in alcohol and converting to Christianity, many didn’t know their own culture other than “American culture” which at the time was white washed. The reservations aren’t doing much good and some are ghettos with poor education and high unemployment rates. Not surprised that a person with a basic white name would care about heritage and preserving culture.
@susana brown You aren’t a real person. You are a bot. Generic name, barely a year old, broken English.
@Thats Crazy what else? Makes no sense keep talking about the native americans. My concern is gas prices will increase beside causing more unemployment. Biden sweet words about “unity” won’t happen if he keeps causing more unemployment.
Many Canadians are thrilled with the cancelation.
