this is a canada-u.s. pipeline, and as everyone knows, it will further build the ties that we currently have between the united states and canada. and i want to emphasize that it's a joint canada-u.s. pipeline. pipelines have beginnings, then have ends, they cross borders, they cross jurisdictions, and if we think about the energy infrastructure and the pipeline infrastructure that we have in north america, clearly this pipeline is part of that system. we think it's important for all of us as north americans, because it will bring a sizeable amount of new supplies not only from the oil sands to the united states, but also a sizeable amount of the new supplies from the bakken formation in north dakota to the united states' great refining centers. we're seeing divergent views about the project's impact, the benefits that it will bring, and the weight that should be given to the needs of the environment and the economy. and the supposed costs of tilting towards one or the other. for the most part, i consider

willirst key question is canada build other pipelines in the west coast of canada? if you years ago is the department assumed if we did not approve the keystone xl pipeline key will would simply go west to china. oil wouldne pipeline simply go west to china. >> when one says canadians support developing oil sands, alberta supports that. there are many places in the country where they do not support that, and british columbia is where it is difficult to find that support. crossing british columbia is very strong and mathematically politically. >> the state department basically agreed with that and said -- the state department assumed to be would use roads to coast. sands to the is this really a viable option? >> it is not. on eway to evaluate this. under the same architecture by rail. tar sands managers have not been able to manage it. there are unique to challenges in move tar sands by rail. northern alberta is a lot further away. simply stated it is far more expensive and tar sands producers to not have the margins to afford it. >> the real options is for economics

we have two kinds of mailboxes in canada. one are the drop boxes that the mail carriers use, those are the gray ones that are mostly getting tagged: other ones red letter boxes where you are dropping off your mail. those have been wrapped now and we found very little graffiti on the wrapped boxes. we are quite excited that canada post is going to be changes their policies with respect to the gray boxes and they are actually eliminating them. >> that's what we're seeing in arizona, utility companies, whether it's gas, cable, water, their boxes are being tagged. the utility companies making millions of dollars in profit don't want to pay for the clean up because they consider themselves the victim. >> we started serving tickets on them. >> interesting too as far as the boxes, the can canadian postal service has come up with a very busy deco design that is really, it looks very, very nice but if you put a tag on it you can't see the tag. that's been extremely effective. those boxes get tagged i would say 1 in 10 compared to the

canada is located very, very close to the united states.n, there are actually some places in this country where you really can see canada from your house. it is the other place in the world that most looks like the belgium, denmark, and a place called canada. now, forgetting to include canada in any study you do that you think is applicable to the united states is like a doctor forgetting to ask about your siblings in taking your family history. can daw is our biggest trading partner. canada is located very, very close to the united states. i mean, there are actually some places in this country where you really can see canada from your house. it is the other place in the world that most looks like the united states of america in every way, including economically. canada is the other economic laboratory on this planet that most resembles our economic laboratory. and so with canada included in the spread sheet, and with the numbers run correctly, it turns out that economies with a debt of 90% were actually growing and not shrinking. and so no

but if you look at the trading relationship we have with canada, canada is a great friend but those a reason for the president to be harming our relationship with canada by streaming them out for years, when everybody else who looks at this, everybody who is impartial looks at this as it should have been done years ago. the keystone pipeline should've been approved years ago. if you look at our relationship with canada, if we're trading the same barrels of oil with canada instead of these middle eastern countries who don't like us, we get about 90 cents on the dollar back from every dollar we send to canada in trade. that same dollar that goes over to the middle eastern countries we get less than 50 cents on the dollar back. again we're using the same amount of oil. the question is who are going to get it from. are going to get it from canada, we have a great historical relationship right across the border, or are we going to continue to send billions of dollars to middle eastern countries who don't like us who use that money against us? why does the president continued to say no? tha

i do think canada's slowing down. i think there are growth things that we can do in canada.obviously the u.s. so within canada, we've taken dramatic market share in commercial. we have a very aggressive program in credit cards. we take a lot of share in wealth and insurance. so we have some other substitutes for the slowdown in the basic mortgage business in canada. and then, of course, we have invested in the united states. and we've, you know, for the last -- since 2006, we've dramatically outgrown the competition in the united states. so we can continue to have that growth avenue. >> much of that by acquisition, bharat. you've been leading that charge here in the united states. i'm wondering, really, what are the growth prospects here for the banking industry in the united states? whereas we just heard the senate, you know, the congress in the united states wants to raise the capital requirements even above basel iii. interest rates because of the federal reserve are so low, it's tough to make a buck in the usual way in the banking industry if you're not charging any mass
