XL wouldn’t exist without the Canadian government.
Perhaps, but the government is allowed to weigh competing interests and sometimes, a decision has to be made.

Also a union of people.
People aren’t solely represented by their states in this union.

Is it? So I have an interest in stopping some action taken in another state?
Why is it called the “United States” and not the “United People” then?

Could be competing interests within states (as it was with Keystone XL which crossed through several states and therefore by definition was interstate commerce and therefore under the purview of the federal government.
Lots of people and groups who lived in the states through which the pipeline passed had competing interests.
I suppose you could say it comes under the federal government because of the Interstate Commerce Clause. But since it is an international project, the decision rests with the feds through the state department. That is why it was Kerry who first nixed it as Secretary of State back in 2015.
And that is also why Trump & Biden can have duelling EO’s without a say from Congress

Which state objected to it?
What in gods name does that have to do with those claiming charging stations are infrastructure similar to interstate highways? 
It’s crosses the US border. It’s a Fed issue.
