Newly discovered President Maduro may have something to say about that.
Venezuelan heavy crude vs. Albertan viscous sludge - you choose, America!
Peter Pan -- an interesting point, but who is to say that the Russians will make US lives easy by letting its ally Venezuela sell to the US? I wonder if Russian tankers carrying Venezuelan oil could make it through the Suez canal?
What I fear most is a return to the 2006-2007 oil boom in Alberta and Saskatchewan! Talk about Dutch disease damaging Canadian manufacturing!!!!! But at least that might hurt Doug Ford...
And the Trans Mountain pipeline, recently judged economically unviable, after a 70 per cent increase in the projected cost, might once again be deemed viable. But could the Trudeau government now reverse its decision, from February, not to put additional public money toward the project? I foresee huge fights between the oil sector, BC environmentalists, and Indigenous people along the pipeline's route -- unless the sanctions end fairly soon
Canada's oil and gas industry remains staunchly behind a project it says remains "essential to the national interest."
Even with a minority government, we certainly will not be seeing an election for at least 4 years
Hopefully Venezuela will make the Yankees grovel.
Trans Mountain is for Asian markets - other than China I guess?
What doesn't get shipped through a pipeline gets put onto the railroads.
The bold step would be to leave that shit in the ground, but we all know that our addiction to fossil fuels trumps our phony commitment to net zero emissions.
Refining bitumen in Alberta would alter the transport problem, but we all know that profit trumps common sense.
If I were in BC I'd hold a referendum to separate from the Dominion of Canada. Alberta would then have to option of going it alone, or joining the Yanks.
