An unwritten deal is when our enviral whackos make it impossible to mine, deliver oil or energy from American Sources at a competitive price.

I have no idea of what was signed in the last two years of the Clintoonian raping of America. We need to look at all of the treaties to see why they hate GW so much. It ain't just political!

Bob and Shermy do you have any data re any possible sweetheart deals with Canada for energy products signed in the last two years of the Clintoonian Rape of our Republic?

It affects both countries, but NAFTA Chapter 11 particularly affects Canadian exporters of energy products, and the Canadian govt's ability to regulate them. Similarly, if the US govt were to officially boycott a Canadian product, the Canadian company could probably make a Chapter 11 claim against the US gov't for the same reason. Any boycott would have to be completely consumer driven.

Don't have any immediate answers to your question re: sweetheart Clintton deals, but I will offer this:

All efforts to impede domestic production can only HELP Canadian eports of oil, natural gas, etc.

On the good news side, even though Clintoon reliance on enviros to impede US production, which then HELPED Canadian exporters, Canadian gas storage figures are at an all time low, their "Vaunted, Elite" Ladyfern natural gas field is declining faster than soddom's gene pool. That field alone (discovered during Clintoon years) was supposed to raise Canadian imports of natural gas by some 5%. That ain't gonna happen and I've recently seen reports that predict a 3-5% DECLINE in Canadian natural gas imports this year.

This is somewhat of a double edged sword however, as many US companies are involved in Canadian exploration. I'll keep looking for a Clintton sweetheart deal....my initial guess would be that we might find one in the lumber industry as I don't think they are as draconian as our enviros have forced our regulations to be on our timber industry.
