Trump: We have a tremendous deficit with Canada. We're not going to have that anymore⦠And if you're a state, we won't have a deficit. We won't have to tariff you⦠We don't need their lumber because we have our own forests. We don't need their oil and gas. pic.twitter.com/sMaUbtrKKf

Who's going to stop them?
Why would Euros buy heavy Canadian crude they can't refine when light ME crude they can is closer lmao?

Discount? Why doesn't Canada sell their oil and lumber for more elsewhere?
Maybe because there is no discount, and this "economist" is making shit up.![:marseysquint: :marseysquint:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseysquint.webp)

They say "discount" because it's less than what other countries might get for their crude.
But that's because Canadian crude is shit quality.
They don't understand that not all crude oil is equivalent. They think it's like selling fresh water where the product is basically the same everywhere.

So it's not a discount, since that problem is priced in.![:marseyangel: :marseyangel:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseyangel.webp)

There are refineries in Europe that can handle tar sand crude but Canada hardly sends any crude there or China
95% of their crude comes here to be refined. The idea that Canada can just start shipping all that overseas is ludicrous
Even if the logistics worked out, euros would cry about the climate implications
