Blake Hampton Posted February 3 Posted February 3 If Canada were to withhold all their oil, it would basically be the 1973 oil embargo all over again. Don't underestimate the Canadians.
Dalal.Holdings Posted February 3 Posted February 3 The bottom line is this: the post-WW2 America that bent over backwards to fix other countries' problems is gone. Either deal with it or be hysterical for the next 4-12 years. Good luck.

maplevalue Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Saw something on twitter, which made me have to head over to foxnews.com to see for myself. Look how far down the story about the Canada tariffs are (I added the red box)! Don't think general US public cares that much about this, argues for this going on for awhile.

Also, if things are so fucked up, how do you explain such low unemployment and a hot economy in the U.S. under Biden? Don't confuse the facts...you don't deal well with the truth! Cheers! So much damage was done by inflation in 2021,2022,2023 - that of course, you avoided The American people decided to hold those responsible accountable. IT's called "Vote the bums out of office"
Blake Hampton Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Just now, Dalal.Holdings said: LOL ! And what this chart doesn’t show is that our consumption is 20 millions barrels a day. Canada controls 20% of our current total oil supply.

Dalal.Holdings Posted February 3 Posted February 3 This is a big deal: Temu, etc will not be exempt from tariffs this time around

Actually during that period, the U.S.' expansion into other countries and growing its military industrial complex contributed to its massive growth and success. The last 20 years was similar but it was the technology industrial complex that lead to its success. But this isolationist, nationalistic behavior is probably going to have the opposite effect. Good luck!
Dalal.Holdings Posted February 3 Posted February 3 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Blake Hampton said: And what this chart doesn’t show is that our consumption is 20 millions barrels a day. Canada controls 20% of our current total oil supply. Western Canada Select Trades at $60 a barrel. We can afford to pay a 10% tariff on that. If Canada decides it no longer wants to export oil to the USA, it will be catastrophic for Canada (not the USA). Unlike the Gulf countries, Canada's options to export oil are far limited. Alberta is a long ways away from any ports and Canada's environmentalist nutjobs prevented major pipelines from being built ... Edited February 3 by Dalal.Holdings

Good luck! The U.S. is not being isolationistic. It just wants everyone else to start chipping in for their own defense, to uphold classically liberal values (like free speech). It will use carrots and sticks to achieve that...

But it would also be very costly for the U.S. to retool all of their refineries to Permian oil. In the mean time, the Mid-West would be suffering for probably close to two years! Cheers!

If Canada decides it no longer wants to export to the USA, it will be catastrophic for Canada (not the USA). I’m sorry but no. Inflation (CPI) has been running at 2.9% YOY with fuel prices actually decreasing 5%. Fuel is an input cost for essentially everything. When the price of oil increases, the price for everything generally increases. I don’t think our country can currently afford to have inflation expectations take hold and become entrenched. That would be a bad, bad time. (input comment on why the Fed is pointless and J. Powell is stupid) Edited February 3 by Blake Hampton
