Party leaders debate Keystone XL, Kinder Morgan pipelines during debate
Pipelines from Alberta’s oilsands and Canada’s energy exports made for contentious topics during Thursday night’s federal leaders’ debate.
The leaders of Canada’s four main political parties gathered in Toronto for the first leaders’ forum, hosted by Maclean’s magazine, since the election was called earlier this week.
“The federal government does not build pipelines,” Conservative Leader Stephen Harper said, in response to an early question about energy exports and stalled pipeline projects.
