So I guess we're the next to be "freed" lol

Meanwhile, Canadians are paying more per litre at the pump than Americans are. Go figure.
WG

what happens is we sell our oil to the US than we buy it back from them at a higher price. very stupid if you ask me.

Did anyone in Canada figure there would be an easier way to sell it back to Canadian consumers?
WG

From having two countries with their Gubments toooo close together.

why no oil from russia?

Does Canada have any gas refinerys?

Yeah. just not enough to make list.

Conoco owns 25% of Lukoil though.

Why do you think??

If Canada doesn't, they really should.

Old news.

I've always been amazed that the news media can't Google this shit. It's been around forever. I guess they just need an evil brown person to blame the world's issues on, and have enemies for the warmongers and hawks to be saber rattling at.

War is big business.

:disgust

yes............

Didn't know this until now.

Ya funny how we pay soo much more for oil then the U.S.. pretty stupid if u ask me.

Is there a point to this thread?

We pay more at the pump because we get taxed on it.

Yes, we had a fuel shortage at one point because a refinery in Sarnia had big problems.

So about 40% of our "foreign" oil comes from Canada and Mexico.

And we don't? I swear I pay over 18¢ in federal and 21¢ in state gas taxes.

ok, now put that 18 and 21 on a litre instead of a gallon and you have Canadian taxes on gas.

We get assraped in taxes.

why do that if the americans would buy it at such a higher price?

This is why Canada would laugh it's ass off if NAFTA was renegotiated.. that number is bought at a discount

petro canada is canadian
canada has it own production facilities.
IT because of your gas taxes not because we are buying back from the americans.

Na we sell it to a few companies and they determine what different markets will pay and like it was said earlier yes it's pretty stupid.

Oil is not gasoline. A barrel of oil is not more expensive in Canada than in the States.

Sounds like Canadians are just as retarded as Americans.

What do you think?
 

That is a very good question... the US should do business with Russia, such would help stabilize the region and would create many jobs... I think the US knows they can't push them around so they don't try... not saying everything in the past was correct or proper on either side...

It's sad that citizens are most ignorant about central topics like politics, energy, finance, science but most aware when the discussion is about movies, celebrities, the latest Ferrari.

There can't never be any democracy. It's like trying to make 0 + 0 = 1. Two empty brains don't make a full one.

The US DOES buy oil from Russia. And Conoco owns 20% of Lukoil.

And English!

ADL Colin, look at the size of the former Russia and what they could contribute in a business sense; the US could do much more trade with them very much like how they do business with Canada... I'm sure the US is doing business with countries that I have never heard of... however, that does not mean they are doing any great volume of trade with them...

About 5% of Russian exports go to US.

Anyway in 2006 ...
