TORONTO (AP) — President Barack Obama’s decision to temporarily block a pipeline from Alberta to Texas went over badly in Canada. Meanwhile, Canada will push harder for a pipeline to the Pacific Coast, where oil could be shipped to China.
Alberta Premier Alison Redford, the leader of the Canadian province that has the world’s third-largest reserves of oil, said Thursday that while Canada is disappointed at Obama’s decision, the government believes Obama has made it clear the U.S. would consider a new Keystone XL pipeline application with a new routing.
