"But it turns out that Obama has a knack for making people feel good when perhaps they ought to be watching their back. ... The reality is that Obama is leading an aggressive effort to remake American energy policy with potentially severe consequences for the oil sands, and by extension, the Canadian economy."
"Oil sands production emits up to 15 per cent more greenhouse gasses than the production of conventional oil, not to mention the toll it takes on the landscape. These concerns have caused American policy toward the oil sands to undergo a complete U-turn under Obama and congressional Democrats."
"The legislation . . . calls for reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. It also includes a cap and trade system, and a requirement that utilities get at least 15 per cent of their electricity from renewable fuels."
"For as much as Canadians love Obama, is it possible he doesn't love us back?"
