Jeepers: Mr. Obama is not sure about the tar sands in Peoples Province of Alberta.
News flash: China funds the building of a new pipeline to the west coast to ship as much oil as Alberta will allow over to them.
Energy commission approves pipeline from north of Peoples city of Edmonton to Prince Rupert on the B.C. coast.
Canada may have to reduce oil shipments to the US of A.
China clames it will pay for oil with Euros!

I believe that Canadians should always find ways to help our friends south of the border. Good for Mr. Obama, looking out for the environment.

Under the NAFTA rules, we cannot lower the amount of oil, gas or electricity we send south.
The way the Free Trade Agreement is worded, we could potentially end up freezing in the dark if disaster strikes our reserves, but still not be permitted to reduce the flow going to the states.

Personally, I would try all negotiators and signators of that deal for treason.
They simply sold out Canadian interests.

Let the Chinese have the oil,
they need it more than we do.

Soon they'll be paying in Yuan’s
and we'll learn to like it too.

Soon someone will threaten a war to get at the oil and fresh water.
It goes like this: “We could take that place in two weeks.”

Most here are oblivious to NAFTA. Those that aren't already lost their jobs soon after the treaty was ratified. I Know Johnson Controls and Masterlock closed their doors in a hurry to get into Mexico. Stanly tool didn't waste time either.

Either way, this will be a problem in the future. Mark my words.
Still if you want someone over a barrel, who better than the richest guy in school?
What with climate change, and all them expected cold winters up in the future, we should be able to cut a good price for our gas and oil.
We should get them to make a law that requires that all Americans must call Canadians Your Honour, and your Ladyship when addressing us.
(LOL)
