True. But the difference is that in the case of Canada, the oil we import from them has replaced oil we used to import from the Middle East. So it was only a matter of WHICH foreign country supplied the oil.

It's no coincidence that both Canada and Mexico surpassed Saudi Arabia as the largest foreign sources of imported oil to the U.S. within about five years after NAFTA was signed.

Yeah, but oil in fungible, so if we are importing it from anywhere, its still driving up demand on the world market.

I say subject oil to the same general tariffs you restore on everything else. You can either use the tariff money to lower gas taxes. Or you can build nuclear sites. or....
