Keystone Cutoff: Fireside Chat with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney

On his first day in office, President Biden signed an executive order revoking federal permitting for the Keystone XL Pipeline, simultaneously depriving the U.S. of a new source of North American oil and eliminating thousands of Canadian and American jobs. But the decision will impose consequences on the U.S. and Canada in ways that transcend economic and labor interests.

In a virtual fireside chat, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney joins Manhattan Institute senior fellow Mark Mills to discuss the geopolitical implications of President Biden’s executive order, as well as reflect on the future for energy economies in North America’s democracies as the U.S. looks ahead to an era of increased reliance on mining and foreign energy sourcing.
