I’d prefer we not sell any oil. Shit is killing the planet.
But I’d rather sell to China than the US at this point. Trump can fuck right off with his bullshit.We’re slowly getting there. Unfortunately our ship is a large one to turn, but if you think about it, we’re quite quick lately. The combustion age seems like it’ll be over in about ql1/20th the time of the Bronze Age. But, yes, aware the Bronze Age didn’t actively destroy our liveable environment.
Yeah I believe recently for the first time more renewables powered the US grid (over a month) than fossil fuels.
The only thing stopping that progress is the utter destruction of world trade, and well, the US is trying their damndest to do that.
That sure is a good thing and we’re going the right direction, sure, but globally we are still burning more fossil fuels than ever and also the effect fossil fuels have on the climate take 20 years to kick in (don’t ask me for details IANA scientist), so now we’re experiencing the damage we did until 2005 so yeah brace yourselves
We can mark human caused excess carbon emissions starting in the bronze age, thanks to polar ice cores. They just were like 0.0000001% of what we are producing today. If we had 8 billion bronze age humans, the world would be completely deforested, but the emissions might be a bit lower.
And guess who canada used to sell oil to? The US… Who typically has a thirst for Canada’s nice heavy crude oils to help balance out the light, sweet crude made by most American oil fields.
Sourcing heavy crude from other suppliers who have to bring it in via tanker, because Chinese buyers can outbid the tarriffed American buyers… Tankers are significantly more expensive than local pipelines, is going to drive the cost of middle distillates up a bunch on top of the tarriffs.Europe here, we need it too
I hope this is a lever Canada uses to get China to fuck off with their foreign interference, and stop trying to flood our auto market with their trojan horse spy EVs.
I hope so too, but my guess is that the most you can get is them trying harder to do it undetected. Gathering, spreading, controlling and using information seems to be their only modus operandi for getting others to do what they want.
America is no rookie when it comes to threatening & invading countries for their oil, it’s a shame Canada has little means of defence and the liberals are further taking that defence away.
Conservatives are not much better however, we can no longer rely on the US for national security.
Elections are coming up folks, pick wisely between the two evils.
There are 5 parties in Canada, minority government are still a thing too.
Trudeau’s Liberals increased defense funding from Harper’s Conservative gov’t and Carney’s Liberals just bought a $6bil state-of-the-art early warning radar defense system from Australia. Seems the Libs take defense more seriously than the Cons.
Anybody who thinks the US will actually invade Canada is delusional. Trump might try but too many States would oppose him, too many military personnel would say no.
Even 3 months ago I’d agree with you, but if I see how much unthinkable stuff Trump did get done. Who knows he’ll invade Mexico, kidnaps the gangs and then hires them to take control of Canada’s oil fields & pipelines. Or hires Russians to throw Canadian politicians and oil field owners out of windows until Canada surrenders.
Come to Canada and find out how weak our defense is! We’ll be waiting for you muricans
Come to Canada and find out how weak our defense is!
Ah yes, I’m sure once October hits and the liberals start confiscating people’s semi-automatic rifles everyone will feel so safe!
Fun fact 604 area code is Vancouver.
Fun fact
Fuck off!
Ah yes, this surely will push me to vote Liberal!
Preach about inclusivity, then go and pull this when someone bothers to questions it.
