Why not Canadian Oil?

[Pierce Manhammer]

Why is the US looking to buy oil from Venezuela and Iran?

When we could buy oil from Canada?

The Keystone pipeline is sitting there, mostly unused.

The Canadian government is our ally, Venezuela and Iran are ENEMIES of the US.

Yet here we are...

Maybe you know more about this than I do - lets discuss.

Decisions made that lack in reality, logic, national security, and common sense can not be explained or worked around …
Per forum rules, try to keep politics out of this thread.

Cause the oil lands of Canada is the one part of the provinces that the government doesn't want to become enriched or powerful. That's the actual reason why. Canada is much of a dictatorship as the UN.

@Billtx49 This is technically a politics question so you won't be able to avoid it. Unless you can give specifics as to what dictates politics vs general discussion.

Because stupid people run this planet.

Simple. Keep the discussion focused on oil production, transfer, and marketing, distribution, etc.

More on the topic: The Keystone is linked to Canada. There are some weird forces moving right now in the world, and one of them is usually the battle for oil supremacy. Oil runs the world market, with medicine right behind it [if you include the black market, human trafficking and drugs lead instead]. Key interests in the government want to keep competition down, so they keep their own lands [Canada and US] from creating oil so that they can make more profit off foreign resources instead [this is also where treasony actions come into play with said people being bought by non-domestic individuals]. It's sadly the government not wanting certain powers to become stronger domestically while others get fat off their own machinery going on outside said countries.

If we wanted, we could buy oil from Canada and locally today. Unfortunately, special interests will not allow it cause there's more than one war going on.

Because oil is sold on the global market so that oil companies can make as much profit as possible. And your government subsidizes it.

The solution: get off oil.
