Well... Justin made a fool of hiself again after getting Trump ticked off....

Cut off Hydro and oil, and more than their cars tanks, boats, planes will grind to a halt. And if I had to bet, see a chance to really hurt them, OPEC will squeeze the vice on their nuts hard.

Their economy will be toast in weeks if not days.

OMG! Do you really think the U.S. would allow us to do that? You're talking nonsense. Get back on your meds!

“JBen” asked Jay to delete the account. Trust me, it’s inaccessible (even if it still shows).....

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.

JBen's website is still accessible from his profile. So he hasn't completely fallen off of the planet. lol

He’s a lot closer than you think......eh J !!!!!

[LoR]

Lol Rick.

“Yep” or perhaps given the times. Oui, or is that ouiji

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.

[LoR]

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......

[jaycee]

If the Liberals truly want to do something, hit them where it hurts. In the nuts. If theres one thing I learned in life as a young kid. Dont strat them, finish them.

Cut off the flow of Oil, Hydro and fresh water...Then watch the American populace scream for Trumps head.

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.

You are going to tell us to build more refineries! but tell us also where the money is going to come from to do this ? also it would take ages to build refineries , they do not go up overnight an in the meantime we as Canadians will suffer as we rely on the refineries in the U.S. for our gasoline and fuel products.

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 !!!
Start supporting our military, seniors and hospitals, and our own !

[LoR]

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
