House, Senate To Vote On Keystone XL Pipeline

By Ed O'Keefe, Nov. 12, 2014, Washingtonpost.com

For the first time in the six-year fight over the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, both houses of Congress will hold a vote on the proposed project, giving each side in a Louisiana Senate election a chance to boost its candidate.

The two lawmakers locked in the runoff contest, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) and Rep. Bill Cassidy (R), seized control of the congressional agenda Wednesday, extracting assurances from House and Senate leaders that votes will be held to bypass President Obama’s authority and authorize construction of the pipeline.

A large showing of Democratic support for the pipeline could complicate the administration’s decision-making process, given the party’s dismal showing at the polls last week. Environmentalist allies of the president are solidly against the project and have been doggedly lobbying the administration against approving it.

    FINALLY ! Things haven't always gone well between Canadian and American leaders (Diefenbaker & Kennedy or Trudeau & Nixon) but the difference between Prime Minister Harper and President Obama are so stark as to be ridiculous . That Brad Wall ,premier of Saskatchewan, had to write a letter to the U.S. President to sell him on the idea of a pipeline in America that will do much for both of our countries is unbelievable.Canada is the United State's #1 trading partner so hopefully things will turn around and common sense will prevail !
