We are not even allowed to supply our own country. We have the third highest proven oil reserves in the world, but we import over 800,000 barrels of oil per day.

It won't be and shouldn't be any one source but ALL the sources at our disposal...



coal, wind, gas, solar, and nuclear although nuclear has proved the most dangerous especially reactor meltdowns.

What has killed more people?



The nuclear energy chain, or the fossil fuel chain?

Direct deaths from either one are extremely low.

The thing that I find the most unusual about Canadian politics is the hatred some Canadians have for the resources that produce prosperity. I only found out in the past few months that Canada actually imports oil because some parts of Canada think Arabs produce oil better than Canada does. So, Canada's oil and prosperity stays in the ground.

That is what we're experiencing too... AND (omg, I had a valid thought that just disappeared) I hope it's not early dementia. Shee-it!~

It's a balance of trade... They cap our gas to use for latter generations... find gas, cap it,... find more gas, cap that and so on.



in our case, we trade commodities like wheat for oil... that's how it works...  Australia even grows rice for Asia.



I don't know enough about Canada but they're swapping something for something.

It has nothing to do with trade. Canada only has pipelines going to the US. No pipelines to our coasts and to international markets. Thanks to advanced extraction technologies, the US is now the world's biggest producer of oil. With less need of Canadian oil, they discount it. But, if we can get our oil to tidewater, we would get international prices. That is not in America's interests. Hence, American NGO's spend millions interfering in our politics to prevent tidewater pipelines from being built. Russia and Saudi Arabia don't want competition from Canada and do the same. Vivian Krause has written extensively about this.



The cash pipeline opposing Canadian oil pipelines

The anti-pipeline machine is a "directed, network campaign," a new breed of professional, staged activism

I read this costs our country $100 million dollars a day.

Oil, natural gas and refined products are our biggest exports, but we lose tens of billions every year because all of our pipelines go South instead of to our coasts and international markets..



The USA is the world's biggest producer of oil and doesn't need our oil less all the time, therefore they put big discounts on it.

Yes, this is really baffling and very unfortunate and frustrating even to a newcomer to these parts.

I have relatives in Taiwan that can't understand why we import oil.
