   Whether it's Joe Biden or Donald Trump, America's choice will alter Alberta's   
   future   
      
   Experts say election will have lasting impact, but it's not all about Keystone   
   XL   
      
   Less than three weeks remain before American voters head to the polls to   
   choose four more years of U.S. President Donald Trump or a new administration   
   headed by former vice-president Joe Biden.   
      
   And whatever happens Nov. 3, it isn't just the future of America that's at   
   stake.   
      
   In Alberta, discussion about election implications have largely centred around   
   Biden's promise to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline if Democrats win the U.S.   
   presidential election.   
      
   But as experts see it, the stakes of a Biden victory — which would be the   
   likely outcome were the election held today, according to CBC's Presidential   
   Poll Tracker — can't be fully judged solely on the fate of the beleaguered   
   pipeline or the future    
   of fracking.   
      
   "I think it's still a question about whether he would actually reverse   
   Keystone," Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt told CBC's   
   West of Centre podcast. "I think it's more complicated, but Albertans are   
   making it much simpler."   
      
   Despite that uncertainty, recent polling from Léger for 338Canada discussed   
   on West of Centre showed that Alberta was an outlier when polling on Trump's   
   support, suggesting that 32 per cent of Albertans would support the president   
   compared with 68 per    
   cent support for Biden.   
      
   Support for Biden across Canada was somewhere between 82 and 90 per cent,   
   everywhere except Alberta.
