"Trump had expressed unqualified support for importing Canadian energy
in general, and the Keystone XL pipeline in particular. Clinton, on the

American corporate profits sitting idle offshore, Trump has shrewdly
promised a one-time, low tax rate of 10 per cent that, if enacted, will
encourage major corporations to repatriate their cash and reinvest it
back in the U.S., a massive private stimulus program that will do much
to spur demand for Canadian exports." Kevin Libin Financial Post Read more here
