"Well, don't get too arrogant, US imports more oil from Canada than anywhere else on earth...."-HamiltonJay

I hope the reduced import or the higher price of Canadian oil doesn't impact car sales in the U.S. Sluggish U.S auto sales may cause U.S. auto makers to close more Canadian auto plants, like GM's assembly plant in Ste. Therese, Quebec.

"GM: Camaro Factory to Close"

"General Motors Corp. has announced it will phase out production of the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird next year and permanently close an assembly plant in Ste. Therese, Quebec."

"At its peak, the Ste. Therese plant employed about 3,000 hourly employees."

Lets see....3000 employees X $50,000/yr = 150,000,000.00/yr...the government takes 40% or $60 million ....
