If this is a question for me, to my understanding it has to do with a clause that allows him to preside over issues that pertain to "national interest." Are you quizzing me in return, suggesting I add that question, or just inquisitive?
It was just a question so that Keystone project can be framed up properly from a regulatory permitting standpoint. That is:
Intrastate pipelines are state permitting issues.
Interstate pipelines are under FERC or federal permitting authority.
International pipelines, like Keystone, are permitted though the executive branch's State Department via constitutional “foreign affairs” authority.
We have thousands of miles of intrastate and interstate pipelines being permitted and built today. The only difference between those pipelines and the Keystone pipeline are those other pipelines don't cross our nation's border. BTW, if my understanding is correct I'm pretty sure much of the southern leg of the Keystone pipeline is being built.

So how bad is Canada getting the shaft due to this technicality? Do they really care if the Keystone XL Pipeline gets constructed vs other alternatives for them to export the oil?

It's built from Cushing to the Houston Ship Channel. That's why WTI closed the spread with Brent a while back.
