A lot of good that 'ethical oil' business did for Keystone, eh Ezra?

Hehe.

OTTAWA — The stunning Obama administration decision to put the brakes on a major pipeline expansion project linking Canadian oil to Texas refineries suggests the federal government needs to revisit its multimillion-dollar lobbying and marketing strategy to promote Canada as an "ethical" source of energy, observers and industry stakeholders said Friday. 

"It clearly didn't work," said Michael Levi, a senior fellow from the Council of Foreign Relations, an influential New York-based think-tank that does research on foreign policy issues in the United States. 

"It's not clear that the Canadian government was effectively speaking to the people it needed to convince. The ethical oil slogan seems to mostly work with people who already agree with it (and) the sentiment behind it."

What really floats my boat is Bush lackey David Wilkins blowing a gasket over the change of heart by the Obama administration. All over the Conservative map, heads are exploding. This is the first big defeat for them in a long while. Their armour of invincibility has been dinged.
