It’s a new day in Canadian politics. This week oil rich province of Alberta, Canada, took on a new government, and a country by surprise. The traditionally Conservative Tory government in Canada’s wealthiest province has been taken over by the New Democratic Party. With a new provincial premier in the works, this is casting some doubt on the future of Alberta’s Keystone XL pipeline. The Keystone Xl pipeline is a political buzz word for two countries, and has been a heated discussion topic for many years now. The Guardian reported May 6 that with a new government in Alberta, the heated Keystone XL pipeline discussions may die down to a whisper. As reported by The Guardian May 6, new NDP leader for Alberta isn't as interested in pipeline politics as the rest of the political world. As such, the Keystone XL may become just another pipe dream.
In Canada’s wealthiest and oil heavy province of Alberta, the Conservative government has held the biggest seat in the land since the days of President Nixon. Alberta, being pro-oil and pro-wealth, has long supported the Keystone XL project. But those years of support may fade to black if the new NDP leadership takes over. The NDP is historically against the Keystone XL pipeline.
This could mean, no matter how loud or how powerful or how wealthy American political supporters will be on the topic, it could all be just a pipeline pipe dream. The Guardian reported yesterday that the NDP, the New Democratic Party, swept a history making victory over Alberta’s Tory government. It’s being considered a blow to Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s mission to green light the pipeline, a pipeline that would transport oil bitumen from the tar sands of Alberta to the world market.
