The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Why does that mean that they aren't aware of where most of their oil goes?

Because they literally didn't understand that the vat majority of oil that Alberta pumps first goes into the United States before making its way eastward to Canada's eastern provinces. Would have been a very cold winter in Quebec had they followed through.

Trump has continually torn up his prior trade agreements with Canada, over and over again, in an effort to keep making the deal worse for them.

Has he, now. Can you name one of them?

USMCA. Trump negotiated it...but it's still in force and will be until 2036. Did you know that? Did you further know that the vast majority of trade between our countries is covered by it and the current dispute is over Canada's total ban on American alcohol and other practices?

Trump won't be President in 2029. Rubio or whoever wins is free to negotiate an extension of USMCA the second Trump leaves office.

No, it's not.

That's certainly a take to have.
