“We understand, of course, that it is a commitment that the candidate Joe Biden made to cancel this pipeline,” Trudeau said.
“At the same time, we continue to demonstrate the leadership that Canada has shown on fighting climate change and on ensuring energy security as a priority for North America.”
Advocates for the project, however, are clinging to hope that the ensuing outcry – the Alberta government is already threatening legal action – will prompt the Biden team to give them a chance to change the president-elect’s mind.
Canada has known ever since May “that we would have to work very hard to make our case for this project,” Hillman said in an interview Tuesday when asked about reports of the project’s imminent demise.
