9. That damned pipeline was a stupid idea from the very beginning

The oil will be shipped offshore, US refineries can't handle it. The risk is horrific. It should never have been considered. It's crazy.

I've pointed out to friends in Alberta that this isn't the end of their prosperity, it's just a delay. The cheap and dirty solution to getting the oil out is simply too high risk. They're just going to have to rethink it. Rethinking it will keep the oil jobs in Canada.

This is a win-win for me. If a bunch of old greedheads continue throwing hissy fits to keep her from being approved, I get to keep her as my Congresswoman.
