It’s a project that’s been making headlines on both sides of the border for years but today a decision was finally made and our new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s disappointed.

The application for a cross-border permit for the Keystone XL pipeline project was turned down by the United States Government Friday. We are disappointed by the decision but respect the right of the United States to make the decision.

“The Canada-U.S. relationship is much bigger than any one project and I look forward to a fresh start with President Obama to strengthen our remarkable ties in a spirit of friendship and co-operation.

Alberta’s Premier who is facing a growing budget deficit from oil-related drops in revenue and jobs, expressed her disappointment to the rejection of the trans Canada Pipeline in the US.
