I think the forest cover in NY and Connecticut is heavier today than at any time since they began keeping records, because of the cutting in the 1800s.
But oil is a commodity and a Canadian especially should understand that the commoditys markets are brutal.
Oil prices right now are speculative, but that does not mean they will not go higher.
I love Suncor. ;0)
;)
Lol. Terrifying the thought that they could go higher. I think they will ultimately. And yeah, commodity markets are brutual, and I also heard that about the forest cover in NY. THe clearcutting allowed new growth.
The fear mongering has only just begun.
How high can these companys go?
Waaaaay high.
Gotta sign off now.
Catch ya later.
You'll be buying domestic oil? Electricity? Gas? We have a complicated and synergistic trading relationship with Canada that defies simplistic tarrifs. We are a trading nation and if we are to survive we need to have a good trading relationship with our major trading partner (Canada)
We also need to stop reneging on deals already signed. we've got enough enemies in this world...
First of all, my politicians live in the U.S. - where I live. I fled Canada 5 years ago because, among other things, I got sick of listening to idiots like you in Canada whose brainless, knee-jerk antagonism towards the other side of the border made reasoned debate on economic and political issues impossible. Both Canada and the U.S. have in the past imposed retaliatory duties and tariffs on each other. (I didn't say anything about cutting off the supply of oil). If the situation were reversed, how many billions of dollars of losses to the U.S. forestry industry would you accept before you would expect to see retaliatory (and compensatory) trade measures against Canada. Try to take your head out of your a$$ if you're going to make any sort of effort at debate. You get a much more clear perspective on things.

I see now, that you've transitioned well beyond the usual Canadian brand of passive-aggressivity.....Welcome to America!
for the second time on this thread, I think I've been mistaken for a different hoser......
I thought George Bush was for more open trade?
Canada will have to figure out something better than that. They need the US, not the reverse. Canada has been undercutting the U.S. on prescription drugs, fish, lumber, and all other resources; this isn't how to make friends and influence enemies. I will never paint all Canadians with the same brush. We have a LOT of wonderful Canadian neighbors, but the people running the government aren't among them.
That is because US producers have inferior product at inferior prices and do not want to compete. Plain and Simple.
