Prime Minister Stephen Harper is the primary salesman. He was caught off-balance in 2011 when he declared in September that approval of the line a “no-brainer,” only to have President Barack Obama delay it and demand a rerouting of the pipeline two months later. That decision infuriated Mr. Harper and led to him to declare new urgency in the effort to build oil sands pipelines through British Columbia to access China and other Asian markets. The Prime Minister will get another U.S. airing with his appearance this week at the Council on Foreign Relations, where he will be interviewed by Robert Rubin, the former treasury secretary under Bill Clinton.
