    "and i'd bet the majority of the temporary jobs it brings go to canadians."

    Probably not, hiring local would be much more cost advantageous and infrastructure jobs are always temporary.

    I doubt the procurement is handled by the Office of the President. If he hears about it, he can tweet some instructions to use American steel.
