Some of that "smart diplomacy" the Obama administration was taking about?

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said "news the Obama administration would delay a decision on whether to approve extending TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline was a wakeup call about the degree to which Canada is "held hostage" to U.S. decisions."  At least the Canadians can take comfort in knowing that they have China as a potential buyer to fall back upon, while we Americans can take comfort in . . . ?
