[QUOTE="klein, post: 901045, member: 23950"] [B]Re: Obamanomics[/B] [B]Harper pursues Asian energy markets after Keystone delay[/B] CBC – 2 hours 31 minutes ago Prime Minister Stephen Harper had a blunt message for U.S. President Barack Obama at the APEC summit on Sunday: Canada will look for new markets in Asia for its oil and gas, now that the Keystone pipeline has been delayed for more than a year. The two leaders sat down for almost 30 minutes at the summit in Hawaii, during which Harper made Canada's disappointment clear. All of Canada's oil and gas exports currently go south of the border, and Keystone would transport crude from the oilsands to Texas. Now, however, Harper says the U.S. decision has left him no choice. "I did indicate to him, as I did to the president of China yesterday, as our government has indicated, this highlights why Canada must increase its efforts to make sure it can supply its energy outside of the United States and into Asia in particular," Harper said. To that end, the prime minister will visit China sometime next year. [/QUOTE]
