As we dissect the Biden administration’s approach to pipeline projects, a perplexing pattern emerges: Are these strategies truly about pioneering “climate leadership,” or is there a veiled agenda against Canadian interests?
Consider a recent Frontier Centre for Public Policy study which spotlighted the Biden administration’s putting its moral and legal weight behind a small Maine town contesting a pipeline project. This project aimed to facilitate the flow of Canadian crude from the oilsands to an Atlantic seaport. While pipeline lawyers argued that a local ordinance could potentially breach the Constitution’s provision, which reserves such authority for Congress, the Biden administration’s legal eagles argued to the contrary, stating no federal laws or the Constitution were being violated.
