They love a strong America when some other bully is kicking the stuffing out of them and we come in to save them.

"If some in Congress have their way there could even be a Prohibition of Canadian oil derived from shale or oil sands."

Talk about cutting their own throats! Besides the oil, half the north western USA depends on all the natural gas coming out of Alberta as well. That eed won't change and go away. As for the oil, there is no shortage of markets for it. It will just flow east instead.

Obama would also have to "carbon cap" his pal from south America, whose tar is even thicker than Alberta oil sands tar. I'm sure Chavez would just LOVE Obama to slap carbon taxes on his already worthless oil, trading below $36 a barrel, which for Chavez, is below cost of recovery, plus he has a lot of it refined in the USA.

If the price gets any lower, it will reach the non-profit zone in Canada as well, and the oil companies will just shut down operations. I think it's somewhere around $15-$20 a barrel.
Obama's carbon tax has a huge potential to cause severe gas shortages in the USA, by cutting off our supplies.

(side note, Canadian news is on showing Obama's "fans" cheering "O- ba- ma" in Canada. just a bunch of brainwashed kids, 50 or so, hard to tell with those tight camera shots, bussed in by force from schools, and a few muzzies. Woopie. Canadian media really blew this 'event' ) -20c doesn't help either.

This columist is a fool.
My oil change place, and some grocery stores, give away copies of the Star, NO COST

When has that ever happened? In fact the Canadians have always done a good job of kicking the crap out of other bullies during WW1 &WW2, years before we even showed up. Canadians can take care of themselves if they have to. In fact it wasn't until ww2 that the size of our military became bigger than theirs. Despite the years afterwards of liberal neglect and downsizing of Canada's military, what's left are still top notch soldiers, airmen and navy.

ROTFLMFAO JUST, JUST, JUST too freaking funny. If Obama is an example of an American, then I think I will become french. Cause if he is an example of what makes and made this country great, we are on the level with Zimbabwe and it ain't worth living here anymore. /sarcasm still on

Thanks for the ping, dynachrome.

Toronto “Red” Star barf-a-roni alert!

[KosmicKitty]

Guess that means that we’re now a bunch of socialist sheep - like Canada & Europe

[fanfan]

Canada suckin the Obama D__K? Not a good thing my fellow Canadians.

It's the enemedia.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Thank you for the timely update. I remember Harper met with Sarkozy (head of EU) last Fall when Obama was making anti-NAFTA noises. They talked about the EU taking up the slack in Canadian business an Obama presidency was likely to cause.

You need to relay warnings before posting this drivel

I was speaking more in general terms. While the United States has never had to rescue Canada, per se, it’s come to the rescue of other countries that Canada couldn’t rescue on it’s own but wanted rescued.

“Obama makes Americans of us all.”

- - oh, and would that we all could only return the favor.

[Army Air Corps]

I lost my appetite.

[fanfan]

Me too, and it’s lunch time.

[Catholic Canadian]

Ugh. You should see the freak show going on up here, it’s embarrassing.

[Catholic Canadian]

A barf alert indeed, plus Obama is probably trying to weaken Harper and set the stage for the return of his socialist soul mates to dominance in Canada.

That's exactly what he's doing, and he's enlisted the aid of the opposition party's leader, that pimp Michael Ignatieff. Man, I wish Obama would go the f**k home already.
