Tariffs now expected to start March 1st

How does that work in practice? I believe the U.S. is a net exporter. More importantly, the U.S. has its own refineries which refines much Alberta oil. Now to say the U.S. refiners require Alberta oil is an understatement. Much of it is sent abroad, but that doesn't impact the domestic market.

Perhaps you are suggesting Canada could wreak havoc on the global oil market. I tend to think the world has plenty of oil in aggregate. Many producers could help fill the void.

I'm not necessarily supporting U.S. tariffs on Canada. I just don't know what the endgame is.

he thinks Canada is a price setter for oil, we are a price taker because we really have only one major customer due to the cancellation of 3 of 4 major pipeline projects by Trudeau (out right cancel or regulated to death)
he is a fool who thinks we can turn on and turn off production via a politicians whim.
he does not have any idea how complex the energy industry is

he has been promoting the shut down of our 'filthy dirty tar sands" for years, but suddenly thinks he can 'Supply Management" Canadas oil and control pricing
throwing out eggs, milk or poultry to restrict supply is so wasteful, however does keep prices higher
one of many problems with his dam fools plan , is where do you put 500,000 bbls of oil a day if you are going to strategically restrict supply to maintain pricing power

he will respond a strategic oil reserve
but alas
1. we already have one, the oil sands
2. we have no pipeline to ship it to eastern Canada (that does not go through the US) re Trudeau- dumb as a rock

you can waste a lot of time with nottiboi
you can systematically explain away all his arguments for post after post after post and he will just cycle back to his original argument
i believe him to be an unsupervised adolescent who gets his kicks out of wasting other peoples time online

Enough is enough. It’s time for the U.S. Military to storm the White House and remove this deranged idiot from power. He needs to spend some time at Gitmo.

not going to happen

He can't remain partisan and keeps trying to trigger an election but at least he's not standing with his mentor Trump and backing Canada.

Fortunately I'm set up that it will have zero effect. Any stock issues will eventually clear I assume. Jobs are not reliant on trade.

And I will adjust by buying.

Jobs are not reliant on trade ? Maybe in North Korea. This is perhaps the dumbest thing I have ever read
