I didn't know that and I'm pretty well in touch with things. I've never seen a breakdown of where we get foerign sources of petroleum from and how much before. I'd be all for getting more oil from Canada, as much as possible. Last time I checked, no Canadians have committed acts of terrorism against us. And their government is more conservative now, building up their military, and the Canadian people (according to friends my wife and I have there) say very passionately that most Canadians are not as liberal as was reflected in the old liberal government, hence it being thrown out, and that Canada is swaying more conservative, like the U.S. did 12 years ago, just taking some time. Their shifting from socialized health care to privatized health care is an indication of that because the people and the government are sick and tired of their broken down non-functional socialist health care system. By all means lets get LOTS more oil from Canada and then drill ANWR. I wish we could get ALL of what we import from them and then that with ANWR would mean the terrorists would have no more American oil dollars to use for their war against us.
