The Republican/Teabaggers newest BFF - Canadian Oil

And their newest BFF must be giving them lots and lots of dollars for them to push the Keystone pipeline so hard. Over the weekend The Great Orange Boner revealed the latest Republican/Teabagger trick to get the pipeline approved.
Republican lawmakers will try to force the Obama administration to approve the Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL pipeline by attaching it to a highway bill that Congress will consider next month, House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said on Sunday.

President Barack Obama earlier this month denied TransCanada’s application for the oil sands pipeline, citing lack of time to review an alternative route within a 60-day window for action set by Congress.

Republicans have since been looking for a vehicle to resurrect the $7 billion project, and Boehner said that would be a House Republican energy and highway bill.
Why would anybody want to build a Canadian pipeline across the US to ship Canadian oil to other countries when the Canadian dollar is at par with the US? Where's the profit in that?

Comments:
Boehner has a lot of money invested in Canadian tar sand oil. I have a post up.
