Canada cannot win a trade war with the US. When we are on our knees he’s going to ask for Yukon, nwt and nunavut. Saying basically nobody lives there and we don’t need it. He can easily buy out northern Canadians by offering lots of money or citizenship and the other 39 million Canadians will reluctantly agree it’s the best compromise.
He knows climate change is real and it makes the north more and more viable every day due to its resources and shipping route.
Another obvious hint at this was traitor Danielle Smith suggesting US military bases in the north just last week.
The oil products are part of that slurry, so is it slurry with oil products, or oil with crap in it? That’s a weird semantic distinction to make. Crap oil wasn’t intended as the technically correct term, but I chuckle the thought of at seeing that in the paperwork.
Sorry about the tone. It’s becoming appropriate so often lately that I fear it’s becoming a bad habit.
I internally objected to you referring to the refinement of the slurry as “modern processes”. It’s not inaccurate, but it implies improvement when the primary advantage is offshoring the pollution, as you just described. I partially think that an impending surge in renewables is a factor in their unwillingness to add the capability here. I guess we’ll see if there is any truth to that now that we are Trumpland and renewables will probably be set back at least a decade.
