TransCanada Corp. and White House

Canada oilsands Gulf Coast refineries: Already, the White House has issued more than a dozen veto threats on legislation, according to Huffington Post Canada. The $8 billion project from Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. would connect Canada oilsands to Gulf Coast refineries. The 62-37 vote is expected to be one of many veto showdowns between Republicans, who control Congress, and Obama in his final term. Proponents of the Keystone bill have said since its introduction that they didn't have the two-thirds of the Senate vote needed to override Obama veto. But they've already been discussing other ways to force the pipeline approval, either by attaching it onto must-pass spending bills or other, broader, energy legislation. "If we don't win the battle today, we will win the war because we will find another bill to attach this pipeline to," said Sen. They fell four votes short. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
