Tenchu, in case you haven't noticed, we have a global oil glut. Mainly because of our production. So your use of the "secure our energy needs" is just as meaningless as touting its job creation ability. If the only positives for this thing are hollow phrases, why is there such a push for it? Ever wonder about that? I personally have no problem with the pipeline. I gather it is going to be exported anyway, but what the heck. I wish the Canadians would leave it in the ground. The stuff needs to be heated with water when it is mined and then mixed with lighter fraction hydrocarbons to get it to flow because it is essentially asphalt and not oil. So it is expensive and environmentally dangerous, but it is the Canadians call on that. But it doesn't increase our energy security or create many jobs. Unlike the stimulus which was actually useful.
