Canada PM won’t accept US rejection of Keystone pipeline

11. He's just saying that if it's NO from Obama's crew,

then it'll by YES from a H R Clinton or whatever GOP crew.
I do hate it, but I tend to agree that it's a no-brainer. I don't see any real popular opposition to big $$ anywhere except in small unstructured pockets in North America. We like our Big Macs, but we don't like thinking too much. To say nothing of doing a damn thing.
Harper is also speaking as a corporatist who earned his political credentials in Alberta where US ("western based" transnational) oil money rules, so he's speaking more as a voice for big oil than for Canada. He's very confident, but that's because big oil is very confident and one thing about Harper, he's *very* attuned to his masters voice.

I see one light on the horizon. Elizabeth Warren and those who stand with her. That's not the only light but it *is* bright.
I think Warren is hopeful because she's smart, pragmatic, realistic, and has paid enough dues already to have my confidence "generally speaking". I doubt she'll run for '16 (but who knows?). But whatever, I hope that if any Dem candidate wins in '16 (the alternative is unthinkable), she'll be a very influential voice in the new admin.
