Harper (Canada's Prime Minister) Looks to Asian Countries To Sell Natural Resources

The Canadians would prefer to deal with us, and we could really use a new and secure source of natural resources. The Obama administration is on the cusp of blowing a no-brainer deal and pushing our neighbors to the north into the waiting hands of the Chinese. The result, since our government will not let us access our own bounty of natural wealth, is importing more from unstable areas with governments that hate us and use our money to fund efforts/movements against us.

"Canada is now looking to Asian countries to market its abundance of oil, natural gas and minerals as plans to build the proposed Keystone XL pipeline have stalled with the U.S. administration.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper will travel to China next month to discuss selling Canada's bounty to the rapidly growing nation.

The preferred initial plan was to build the $7 billion Keystone pipeline to deliver Alberta's oilsands crude to refineries in Texas on the Gulf of Mexico.

Harper reasoned that the U.S. government would prefer to deal with a friendly neighbor to help meet its energy needs while creating thousands of jobs.

With widespread opposition by U.S. environmentalists, the Obama administration has delayed its decision on whether to approve the project proposed by energy giant TransCanada Pipelines.

The new plan would market to China and Asian countries through the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that would transport Alberta's oil and natural gas to British Columbia for shipment by tankers.
