We get most of our oil from the country to the north, our second largest source of oil is the country to the south. Doesn’t it stand to reason there is a mess of oil in the US itself? We cannot drill in Alaska or off of Florida or California and yet there is no oil in America. BS.

Canada is the largest imported crude oil supplier to the US. That is not the same as saying they supply most of our need.

We use 20.7 MMBPD of Petroleum. Canada supplies 2.5 MMBPD or 12%.
