The Lead
President-elect Joe Biden plans to cancel the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office. A briefing note from Biden’s transition team included “Rescind Keystone XL pipeline permit” on a list of executive actions scheduled for Day 1 of Biden’s presidency.
The news suggests that Canada has been unable to persuade the president-elect of the benefits of the pipeline-expansion project. Kirsten Hillman, Canada’s ambassador to the U.S., said in a statement sent to the Canadian Press that the government “continues to support the Keystone XL project and the benefits that it will bring to both Canada and the United States.”

There, Chaulk writes intimately about what the surroundings he knows best, in tunes of outport Newfoundland life, be it Jenny and George s wedding up the cove or playing as kids at Dogberry Pond.
