Subject: Re: Trade deal with China reached
The government actively tried to slow down the energy production expansion by denying leases on public lands and spiking things like the Keystone Pipeline (which would have ironically really benefited Canada).

Keystone Pipeline was bad for the US--per the TransCanada economic report to the Canadian govt. So there was no valid reason for the US to approve it. Idiots who are opposed to the US did support it. Oil prices in the Midwest rose as predicted once Canada had their own pipeline to an ocean port.
