Venezuela is taking a ten percent loss dealing with anybody but the Imperialistic States, as Chavez puts it.

Canada is the number one supplier in the world selling oil to the States, about twenty percent of the States total. Americans are getting a bit nervous watching China and India making mega deals with Canada and our oil. Our reserves are second only to Saudi, but there is a rumour Saudis reserves may be eighty percent depleted.

I am enjoying the show.

Is Canada going to be just another piece of burnt toast?

Canada is still under the mis-apprehension that the US is its pal. The leadership of Canada does not run around calling the members of the Bush Administration names, nor does Canada publicly object to anything the US happens to feel like doing. You guys are like the wimpy kid sister who tags after the big kids and cries when we send you running home because we're too cool to let you hang out with us. If Canada ever gets enough national pride going for itself and begins to show some spine, yes, you will become burnt toast.

Ah, using your logic from the other thread this makes you as a Canadian personally responsible for global warming and American imperialism. :p
