Well, yes, a little The part that was shut down was not complete. And the entire proposed pipeline would have have a very small effect on OUR oil needs, since the majority of that oil was/is destined to go to the Gulf of Mexico and from there be shipped over seas.
However, if/when leaks occurred in that pipeline, WE would be responsible for cleaning it up - and leaks DO occur in pipelines. Meanwhile Canada was only responsible for depositing the checks for shipping the dirtiest oil known across our land.
