   Well, it didn't take Jason Kenney to start talking from both sides of his   
   mouth, did it?   
   First he tries using the 'United States is most important trading partner and   
   strategic ally of Canada' argument.   
   Then he tries: 'president-elect Biden shoould show Canada some respect to   
   actually sit down and hear our case' argument.   
   But then the other side of his mouth comes out with: 'We will use all legal   
   avenues available to protect Alberta's interest in the project.”   
      
   Wow - from 'ally and important partner'- to 'we'll use lawyers to advance our   
   pipeline plans'. Who wouldn't want to do business with this guy?   
      
   Before you decide to use more Albertan taxpayers' money to promote your   
   withering pipleline, maybe you should consult with them and ask if they're   
   willing to put even more of their taxed dollars into litigations? . . . .

   EDMONTON -- As Jason Kenney threatened possible legal action over the reported   
   cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline Sunday - his critics in the wildrose   
   province were pointing fingers directly at him for what they allege was a bad   
   investment.   
      
   “The risk surrounding the Keystone XL pipeline has been very obvious for   
   some time. Nevertheless, Jason Kenney jeopardized up to $7.5 billion of   
   Alberta taxpayers’ money on this project and now we’re learning it may be   
   stopped altogether,” Rachel    
   Notley wrote in a statement.   
      
   Last week CBC News reported that Alberta spent $1.1 million dollars to lobby   
   Washington in favour of Keystone XL.   
      
   In a statement, Kenney did not clarify exactly how much of Albertans money has   
   been spent or was at risk - but said he was “deeply concerned” by the   
   reports. He argued the U.S. still needs Alberta oil.

   Uh, no they don't. The U.S. is now an *exporter* of their own oil reserves to   
   other countries. They don't need a single barrel from Alberta. All you need to   
   do now, Kenney, is convince Albertans that they should ante-up millions more   
   for the lawyers you    
   want to hire to challenge Biden's decision. Good luck with that.
