With the stroke of a pen President Trump signed the passage of the Keystone pipeline into effect.
This massive project will daily transport 800,000 barrels of Canadian crude oil across the border and on south to refineries in Alabama to be cracked into high-grade fuels for use in North America.
It has been an enterprise frozen like the tundra for 10 years, blocked by environmentalists, tribal indians, bird-watchers, eco-alarmists, "ducks-unlimited" Hollywood activists and a thousand other human quacks. But now sanity and market forces have prevailed and shortly Canadian crude will begin to flow.
Locked in the perm-frost north of Edmonton there are reserves of oil in similar volume to those of Saudi Arabia, put there for the use of humanity by the Good Lord Himself.
Here, in my home town of Barrie, Ontario, we are especially thankful for the tar sands. Piped into our houses is gas from Alberta, which we appreciate when the temperature is -30 C. Also we use gasoline for our vehicles refined in Fort Mc Murray which we also appreciate summer and winter alike. Today we are glad to announce that our resources are about to be shared with the rest of the world, thanks to a forward looking U.S. President.
Let's give a toast to KEYSTONE tonight. By Summer 2018 you will be mowing your grass with a mower powered by some purely Canadian petrol.
Jubilate.
