• Canadian Natural Resources is hitting the restart button on a thermal
oilsands project it suspended nearly two years ago, counting on lower costs
to shave $100 million from the original $1.45-billion price tag. The Calgary-
based company said Thursday it will move ahead with the half-built 40,000-
barrel-per-day Kirby North project, starting with a $28-million engineering
and procurement budget in 2017 that will focus on finding construction cost
savings. Source: Canadian Manufacturing

Gerald Butts Comments – Keystone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrdSC
KDR5-Y
• Justin Trudeau –Trudeau’s statement on
Trump’s win made no mention of
Keystone. Instead, the prime minister
said he looked forward to working
closely with Trump on issues such as
“trade, investment, and international
peace and security.” Democratic
candidate Hillary Clinton opposed the
Keystone project and once called
Canadian oil the continent’s “dirtiest
fuel.” Her victory would likely have
signified the death blow to the
controversial project.
• Trump called climate change a
hoaxTories also pushed Trudeau to
advocate for Keystone during his
historic U.S. state visit in March and
mocked the fact that Natural Resources
Minister Jim Carr was not among the
cabinet ministers invited to the event.

16. KEY POLICIES
• Canada and Europe have ratified CETA
