Good luck without Canadian oil, FRiend...
You are aware that you get most of your imported oil from up here, right?
Oh, and guess who the US’s single largest market is, hmmm?
Don’t let the infantile ramblings of a socialists’ son get your skivvies in a knot. There are some adults up here that know what’s what. Read Trump’s “Art of the Deal” to understand where the Cdn gov’t’s strategy comes from, it’s a pretty standard ploy when entering negotiations.
The US consumes 10.5mil bbl per day.
We produce about 12mil bbl per day.
Canada exports about 1.5mil bbl per day to the US.
I see no issue on oil and believe we could cut those imports without severe impact to the US. The same goes for lumber and paper products.
But where we’re really dependent is lithium for our car batteries. Ah heck, we can do without that too.
Back to my original point: Everything that is to be gained or lost, by any and all parties, is access to the US market. Everything else is noise.
