What's newSome American politicians are still making long-shot efforts to revive the Keystone XL pipeline project, cancelled last month by U.S. President Joe Biden. In a marathon all-night voting session last week, the Senate approved a budget amendment that called for the creation of a fund to improve relations with Canada, related to Keystone XL. The cancelled 1,897-kilometre pipeline was to have carried 830,000 barrels of crude a day from the oilsands in Hardisty, Alta., to Nebraska, where it would connect to the original Keystone pipeline to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. U.S. Sen. Steve Daines, a Montana Republican, tried tucking a pro-Keystone XL measure into a massive budget bill last week. Joe Manchin is a rare Senate Democrat to defend Keystone XL.
