The Keystone: Alberta Premier Has a "Plan B" -- If The US Won't Approve It ... Well, There's Always Alaska

The Calgary Herald is reporting:

Alberta Premier Redford called the Keystone XL, which will extend from Alberta to heavy oil refineries in Houston and Port Arthur, Texas, a “very important” priority for Alberta. She said, however, that if U.S. President Barack Obama does not approve it, Alberta would seek other export opportunities, including going through Alaska.

Now I'm really confused. I knew US students were said to be weak on geography, but ... Canadian premiers? I'll bet Sarah "I Can See Russia From My House" Palin* is pulling out her copy of Rand McNally to see where Alaska is located.

I missed this the first time reading the article; "anon 1" picked up on it. Thank you. It made my day.

*By the way, the "I can see Russia from my house" statement has a very, very interesting back story, too.
