Wouldn’t it have been nice to use that 4 plus billion dollars spent on a pipeline to build a couple of upgraders in our own country. nope we gotta ship our oil to China and buy oil back from the Saudis. Yeah that makes so much sense. Way to go Canada
Funny how Trudeau/Freeland can speak of human rights while we trade happily with China. Oh... the HYPOCRISY!!!!!!!
I have a huge, huge respect of Canada, but how is it possible the people make Trudeau prime minister?
Problem is if there’s ever a conflict that curtailed our oil supply (and it’s only a matter of time) our country will grind to a halt. We have oil but not the means to refine it. Point is we will be in a very bad situation in the not too distant future that would have been 100 percent avoidable. Our enemy has us by the chestnuts and it’s all our fault.
