ONTARIO : Disappointed by the lack of decision making by the US authorities, Canada may infact sell off their oil to the energy hungry Chinese.
In an interview with CTV News, Prime Minister Stephen Harper says- "I am very serious about selling our oil off this continent, selling our energy products off to China”
The US government had put on hold its decision on the Keystone pipeline until after the 2012 elections. And even though the US senate passed a bill that required president Obama to take a decision on the matter within 60 days, the House had rejected it on Dec 20, thus putting a cloak on uncertainty over the energy project.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue has expressed support for the pipeline project an urged Obama to take a quick decision. “If the president is serious about job creation and energy security, now it the time to act on the Keystone XL pipeline. This is the perfect example of a shovel-ready project that makes sense for our economy”, he said on Tuesday.

The project has however found staunch resistance from environmentalists arguing that the project will harm the environment.

The proposed Keystone XL pipeline between Alberta and Texas was expected to pump 830,000 barrels of oil every day.
