While visiting New York, on Thursday, he very publicly stated that Canadian oil will travel through the US, no matter what, even if another method has to be used.
The Obama administration has been dragging it's heels on authorizing the use of the Keystone XL Pipeline to bring oil from Alberta down through the US to Texas.
Most of the states involved have not only approved their own parts, but have finished their construction.
Around eight hundred thousand barrels a day would be carried by the pipeline, greatly helping the economies of Canada, the US, and each of the states involved.
Harper's government has made it clear that they consider the pipeline of the the utmost importance and it has been stated that if Obama does not approve it, by this summer, "irreparable harm" will be done to relations between the governments.
