    Does anyone find it disturbing that work can be in progress...spent $ towards an end goal...and then a stroke of the pen by 1 person stops it instantly and does truly eliminate $ coming in for those workers instantly?  

    I know it can happen in other ways when businesses decide to close...but it seems that it rarely happens overnight.  When Biden signed that, are there any employee protections in place other than simply unemployment?

    according to fuckstick the wall was completed..   
    i think he may be referring to keystone

    was already held up because of nebraska.

    further, record number of barrels per day are already being shipped via train and truck as well as existing pipeline thats getting upgrades....

    Yes, that's exactly it.  Last time I asked a conservative, they were not in support of gov't funded jobs simply because people needed a job.  If there is no oil shortage (hint, there's not), then why build pipelines?

    Ummm...the government isn't building the pipeline are they?   So not sure I see the comparison.  It's the government halting private industry (which is could be a fine thing to do) but it's really weird that someone can invest $ and build and then get stopped right in the middle by the stroke of 1 guys pen.

    This emphasis on the 'stroke of the pen' suggests they're doing it on a whim.

    Is there not some actual logic behind the move, or did Biden just feel like signing something?

    there is (environmental), and I agree with it. it just seems so stupid that so many EO's of consequence end up being ping ponged by the next admin.

    My understanding was that gov't was assisting in the cost.  Considering this is a multi billion dollar project, I would have expected the price of TC to plummet.  It has only lost a few dollars since Biden was elected.

    The Alberta government pumped 1.5 billion into the project just a few months ago.  But that was just a stupid thing to do.  Alberta knew this pipeline was on shaky ground to begin with, so why they invested more into cash the pipeline is what I would like to know?  And Alberta has been struggling...so they wasted much needed money.

    As much as I do not like the project being cancelled.  But if the project restarts it needs to go through the proper environmental regulations and proper consultations...and be approved through legislation...would you not think?

    with that being said...Canadians do not have a right to demand the US build a pipeline to pump Canadian oil...especially when we do not build enough pipe line capacity to get our oil to tidewater...and we still import Saudi oil.

    I think I heard on NPR that the keystone could still keep going because once lawyers take it to court in hopes of an inevitable stall of the EO the work can still go on. Of course I may have misheard.
