i have been up in canada the last six or eight weeks a couple of times. this is important to canadian relations and they are saying we thought you were going to do. this we invested and made a lot of reliance on doing this and by you putting it off, let's make it clear to americans, we have seen you as our partner for oil an gas. we intended to sell your oil and gas. if you are going to screw around with this, we have an alternative, we will sell it to china. >> and they sure can do it. ship right in to vancouver and take it away. paul, what's your take on this? i want to bring you and david fromme in on herman cain. >> kicking the can has a long tradition for presidencies. >> including republicans. >> abraham lincoln had it with the emancipation proclamation. it is a big deal. the aquifer that goes from west texas to wyoming goes through the heart of it. the republican governor of nebraska under which sits a huge part of the aquifer opposes it. it is a difficult environmental, economic, international relation and political decision. i'd rather they get i

-canada border. that makes it something that comes under the pur few-- purview of the state department and not other segs line the department of transportation which has aning we which traditionally looks at pipelines and how they are handled and constructed. >> suarez: does redrawing the path of the pipeline mean in effect starting from scratch, really going back to the drawing board on this. >> it doesn't mean starting from scratch but it certainly raises questions about the economic viability of a project that's been under scrutiny for more than three years and now we're adding at least 15 months to this decision. so it raises questions about whether in the end trans-canada will pursue this although they do say that they remain hopeful that they'll get approval and they're going to go back and look at it. >> suarez: fill us in on how the battle lines have been drawn on this. who, broadly speaking, is for it. who is against it and where was the president on all of this. >> it is interesting. so in

this is canada, and the labor unions love this because they think it'll create jobs. it's the environmentalists and some hollywood folks, not to mention some farmers, who really don't. >> and this president, i'm afraid, megyn, is unaware that the chinese are represented in canada, in alberta working with the canadians on the oil sands, on the oil shale trying to work with investing money where the united states is playing beggar thy neighbor. instead of being a leader and at least within the terms of nafta actually bringing greater coordination together amongst canada, mexico and the united states. it was an absolute -- what is the cliche, no-brainer? win/win? megyn: that's what prime minister harper called it. in fact, it did not end up being such. now what we're worried about near the united states is, okay, they're going to delay this, but what folks were worried about is will that delay cause canada to look at something else, basically say, hey, lady, i'm going to go dance with somebody else. and now we learn that, indeed, canada is looking to sell its oil and gas
