Lol Bushmoose too funny.
Your reaction really says it all.
The mere threat alone would send shockwaves through the US, the markets. Etc
The point is the “message”. It would cripple them. Call it a game of chicken if you like...
And “realistically” there isn’t much they could do about it. Hell its only been words so far, and most of the G7 are turning on him...polite offend no-one Canada, that country all admire, like......unlike the US
The world won’t let them use force against us. Like the US we have stuff the world wants/needs......not the least of which is hospitibal land in a quickly becoming crowded world...think China would want the US to....russia, the UK, France, India.....who in this world would allow the US....
Be that as it may. Sometimes you just have to send a message........
And there are those, who already think we should be reducing our exports to the US by 40%
Regardless.
Same old same old.
Quite obviously I made the right call. :) this place.
Happily go back to my “meds” Boishmoose. A life in the country, away from the BS, rat race, and well quite honestly people.....
Doors always open G, drop in for a beer on your way to that island on the lake...
/edit
damn iPhone, tried to copy an article.
now can’t be bothered
He’s a lot closer than you think......eh J !!!!!Quote:

Here is a very interesting link about our oil;
http://www.oilsandsmagazine.com/news...oil-comes-from
It seems we import more oil than we export.
Which begs the questions.
Why haven’t we built pipelines East....and...West.
Why havent we built refineries
Why don’t we “cut” off the flow, or get off the teat? Do we like being “puppets”. Are we so afraid of what the US might (but really cant do?)
Do we miss Harper yet?

Back to my um “meds” and La la land, :) where the loons chime away at night, and in the wee hours. Rush hour might be a few horses going by..
Best guess?
Trump hits Automotive and shoots himself in the foot in the process.
We punch back, dollar for dollar...dont F with is, we mean it....lol
Trump?? Who knows, the guys is off his rocker and more....
have to do something, and have to put on a show, but too afraid to finish it, too afraid to grow a spine, and in the process help ourselves out and do what we will likely do albeit gradually over the next 10-15 years anyways...
call his bluff and huffing, before it gets worse......
If we cut off the oil flow to the U.S. , we would be shooting ourselves in the foot as we do not have enough refineries to supply our own Canadian demands.Quote:

I can tell you where the money will come from......quit sending millions of dollars to third world crap holes to foster their Liebral agenda !!!Quote:

No kidding Rick :)
I can think of a million ways to better spend the 80b in extra debt they are piling on alone....
Like a million barrels of heavy crude to our own refinery. No they don’t spring up over night. But they do provide jobs, lots of them...same as a pipeline to that that refinery and better yet. FU to BC, we’re going East.
Point being for some reason it’s being “missed”
At what point do we grow a backbone, say “enough is enough, and send a very clear message and shot across his and their bow”
Their greatest weakness is energy, energy products. Just happens to be our strength...
Lol, jeez we hold the cards here, not them. We can
If we choose and choos to grow some, deal from a position of strength and leverage
