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.

Seems Ontario has been running a TV ad featuring a clip of Saint Reagan denouncing tariffs. His nibs doesn't like it, because the old deity, who is dead, so his nibs can't hurt him, is undermining his scheme to shift more tax burden from the "JCs" to the Proles.

Trump says he’s ending trade negotiations with Canada

Trump posted, “The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs.”

“The ad was for $75,000. They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”

The US imports quite a bit of heavy oil from Canada. There is lots of heavy in Venezuela. If the US seized Venezuela, then they could cut off oil imports from Canada. Canada does not have nearly enough pipeline capacity to the coasts, so cutting off imports by the US would take a lot of oil off the market.

But, the US needs to gain control of Venezuela, to use that heavy itself, as well as deny it to others.
