To Hell with the US as the primary market for anything. Canada needs to move very very far away from that country as it is very rapidly driving itself into bankruptcy and collapse. We need to try as much as possible to avoid the collapse there causing the same thing here. if this becomes US law then we simply say pay world prices for the oil or we will ship it to China or India or Japan or any other country that needs oil at world prices.

One comments and the other follows. Why not charge the US a tariff for getting our oil. With the funds we could build an series of upgraders to not only bring the gravity of the crude to a higher grade, we would employ hundreds if not thousands to have  long term processing plants and export whatever grade of product they require. If they don't like it, China would not hesitate to take any and all we could supply. I'm sure the US would not mind importing all their oil from the middle east, chavez, and possibly northern europe. Lefties love paying unnecessary higher prices for the 'good of the people'. Cynapse and UV-are you joined at the hip? One comments and the other follows.

That economic imbeciles like Obama and Pelosi have the levers of economic power in the U.S. is absolutely frightening.  We may well be witnessing the economic death of the U.S.  I’m not sure how the free trade agreement works in regard to oil to the US, but I doubt that it says that the US can decide what grade or type of oil they prefer as to what we will sell to them.  I doubt that it allows for the US to walk in as though Canada is a boutique where they can choose exactly the type they want over all others.  If that is the case, we simply tell them what we will sell to them.  If it doesn’t meet their requirements, tough.  They can make up the short fall by buying it from somewhere else.  Like Saudi Arabia or Venezuela (no doubt Obama has contacts with his Comrade Chavez).  Then Canada gets to work on building the pipelines to the West Coast to ship more oil to the Far East.
