With Keystone XL cancelled, all eyes turn to Trans Mountain expansion battle
By Alex Nguyen
The demise of the Keystone XL pipeline is turning the spotlight on the fight against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.
On Monday, the House of Commons held an emergency debate on the recently cancelled cross-border Keystone XL project. Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan pushed back against the idea of placing retaliatory sanctions on the U.S., while pivoting to Ottawa’s support for TMX.
The following day, around 100 organizations from a broad swath of sectors signed an open letter calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and all federal cabinet ministers to kill TMX.
