What is your preferred method to transport oil? Trains derail, ships sink, trucks crash.
Montana oil spill renews worries over pipeline safety
We should totally build an even BIGGER pipeline that runs right through America's breadbasket to make it easier for Canadian companies to send the worse oil through! /sarcasm
My preferred method is for the US not to take the risk of contaminating our lands to transport CANADIAN oil.

Because upgrading our aging infrastructure is bad idea... This leak was from an old pipeline, one without the leak preventing tech that new ones have. This event doesn't reflect the risk that Keystone has, since it's an old pipeline that needs replacement/upgrading and Keystone would be a state of the art pipeline. It's like telling your brother that he shouldn't buy a new car since all your 1974 Chrysler K-car does is break down and his new Ford F-150 will be just as bad.
So is it just Canadian oil you want to boycott or all oil from all countries arriving on our shores by ships that can and do run aground and then transported by road or rail where spills also occur? My guess is you are so anti oil you would stop it all if you could.

It's cute how you've conflated upgrading infrastructure and the US taking all of the risk transporting oil for a Canadian company through our land.
Let me repost my point... because clearly you missed it.

I read you loud and clear now. You are fine with the possibility of contaminating our land and sea with any other oil than Canadian oil. Makes no sense to me but if you hate Canada that bad so be it.

He'd rather we run trains down those rickety 100 year old tracks.

Replacing "those rickety 100 year old tracks" would create more jobs for a longer period than constructing the Keystone Pipeline

Maybe you should put a proposal together and see. The tracks in the US suck all over.
Not really. They'd just be another boondoggle waste of public money.

Well we clearly need to replace rail infrastructure. We have bridges from the 1800s that are still carrying trains. The other problem, is that a large amount of cross-country real traffic has to converge through choke points that are highly congested. And freight rail is hauling higher and higher volumes of traffic every year,
