    Canada supplies 20% of American oil. Considering Trump is bringing back the drilling that Biden took away, I don’t foresee a significant impact. The biggest loss would be the syrup.

      Which drilling did he take away? The amount of oil U.S. Oil being produced hit an all time high under Biden? You don’t get there by taking away drilling. Refusing to expand on future drilling maybe, but that is because it would be cheaper and more sustainable to move away from future drilling.

      Edit to add: Gas prices went up under Trump last time, and they are definitely going to again. No prices will be going down under his business practices, it’s all up from here on costs, and wage stagnation to pad the company numbers.

        Which is more hydrating? A shot of water or a gallon of water? Biden is a radically anti fossil fuel president who has halted drilling, canceled contracts, and restricted nearly every aspect of oil drilling. He even removed all federal funding from the industry that keeps American oil competitive. He specifically rushed to keep over 1/2 million off of shore drilling out of the oil industry because he knows Trump isn’t an EV messiah like Biden. 2019 was the record breaking oil year, not the past 5 years.

          2023 and 2024 are higher than 2019. Anyone who thinks Biden was “radical” anti fossil fuel clearly doesn’t know what the word radical means. “He even removed all federal funding from the industry” Thats based off what, your feelings? Because it never happened. We still spend $20 billion a year subsidizing oil. The last bill Biden signed pertaining to oil he increased the funding.

          Bring some sources for those claims and I’ll be happy to review them.

      Trump is doing nothing more than pandering to the oil industry because they want to export LNG from Alaska. Besides, American refineries are largely equipped to handle heavier crude - Canada is helping us out.

      We only have a (very) small trade deficit with Canada if you include oil. Canada is subsidizing what we do import to help us out (you know - we’re supposed to be friends).

      Don’t believe the b/s that comes out of Trump’s mouth.
