Certainly, the Keystone XL heavy oil pipeline is important. Both proponents and opponents of the Alberta oil sands have much riding on whether it goes ahead. Obamas deliberately opaque references Tuesday gave few real clues But Canadians also have a broader interest in how America handles climate change. For the sad truth is that...
