“Agreed. And 95% of the US sheeple are clueless to the fact that we get more oil from Canada than any other source.”

Right. Fllowing the Iran hostage incident, and the world oil scare which resulted, Canada set about resolutely to develop oil from their vast tar sands reserves in Alberta, and stuck with it.

The US started work on our vast oil shale reserves, but eventually stopped.

Both cases initially involved government-private industry partnerships, but today the Candian venture is profitable, and is private industry.

And in the mid 90s Canada has a big budget deficit, but started cutting spending, and is now in fine shape, while the USA muddles along, increasing the annual and cumulative deficit, instead of reforming government giveaways and spending.

The Canadian dolar has grown stronger, while the greenback shrinks.
