    Thanks to Trump the Canadians are pissed at the US. So hopefully they stop selling oil to the US, which means shutting down the Keystone pipeline.

      Hope you are right, but depends on the power balance after the election, and whether federal or provincial law decides such things.
      Isn’t Alberta is more aligned to MAGA politically? Maybe tries to stir up a big provocation, then eventually ‘annex’ it.

      The trouble is they have no one else to sell it to. The US is their only market for it since they have no other way to get it to market.

          I don’t think anyone’s is worried about the owners of the CA oil. I’m just pointing out we’re not going to see CA stop selling oil to the US because they have no other option. They aren’t going to take one for the team to punish the US, especially because US oil owns much of the CA oil sands operation.

        The trans mountain pipeline was completed last year, so we can now ship oil to other countries.

          Interesting… I hadn’t heard that. Can it and refineries on the otherend match the volume needed to cut the US off without pain on your side? Honestly hope so. We need to suffer on this side before the idiots that vote for Trump will acknowledge their mistake.

            refining is still an issue that needs solving, as we do send oil to the US to be refined and buy the product back. I know for a long time it was considered un-economical to refine our own oil due to the volume:cost issues, but maybe that might change now?
