Prime Minister Stephen Harper is meeting leaders from the company that wants to build the Keystone XL pipeline just hours before he again presses U.S. President Barack Obama to approve it.
Harper's meeting with TransCanada officials comes this morning in Mexico City before he travels to the neighbouring city of Toluca for the so-called Three Amigos summit with Obama and Mexico's Enrique Pena Nieto.
No progress is likely on the long-stalled plan to link Alberta's oil sands with the southern United States, because neither leader is expected to deviate from their stated positions on Keystone XL.
Harper will likely push Obama for speedy approval, while the White House maintains the president will reiterate that the approval process still has several more months to run.

I wonder: was John Kerry's talking up of the environment on his recent foreign trip CYA for Obama to approve the pipeline?
