In reply to the discussion: Canada PM won’t accept US rejection of Keystone pipeline [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)18. PBO said *permanent* jobs would be around 100 and or less and not worth it. Also Americans won't get
a gallon of fuel from it. And they won't.
The Koches own the Texas refinery expected to send it through and shipped to China. All Canadian oil for China, not us. And they don't want to take NO for an answer. As Harper said, this isn't over.
This is why 2014 matters so much, to set the ground for 2016. They put Romney on the ballot in 2012 to be Grover Nordquist's Robosigner-in-Chief:
All we have to do is replace Obama... We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget...
We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate.
Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team,to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.
~ Grover Nordquist
This agreement, in which they may or may not have the WTO or other trade agreements on their side, would make a mockery of our sovereignty, which is in tatters from neo-feudalists.
The Koches fund the Teas, Freedomworks, Libertarians, the John Birch Society and its recent patriot incarnations. They are anti-American no matter how many flags they wave around.
Gotta go. Good catch.

Usually on these projects the way of counting "jobs" isn't the common understanding.

Harper must think Obama and the other US elected representatives are his own ministers.

The "permanent jobs" thing is disingenuous. There WOULD be thousands of jobs. Come on, folks.

This is serious stuff; a trade embargo with Canada could have devastating effects.
