It would be un-American to pay those budget balancing, national health care, snow commies.

Bush would rather ruin the Republic.

So long as we can buy from the Saudis. Because they aren't involved in terrorism at all, ever.

Good thing there's always a market for oil.

Oil costs the same if it comes from Canada or from Iraq. Or if we pump it ourselves. Commodity pricing is a biatch.

Good thing we have that NAFTA.

Oh, wait.

I'd like to find me a nice country that would let me grow/harvest/process cannabis for use as a biofuel resource. Then I'd start smuggling the product into the US and selling it on the black market, doding the tax man all the way.

They could write a song about me.

Congratulations, people of the US, for living through two terms lead by the worlds biggest dipshiat...well, almost (I'm rooting for you).

woohoo lower gas prices for canada!!

Good luck with your $7/Gallon

They shouldn't worry that it would prevent BushCo from buying it. More importantly, does it prevent BushCo from invading and taking it?

"We want you to not do something that you're not going to do anyway, but it's a slow news cycle so we're printing up this letter and sending it out to the press so they'll have something to print tomorrow so we can get a few voters outraged over something that was never in the works in the first place. By the way, we want more money."

Who's Alberta?

Lol. Maybe thats the ultimate goal. Once the shipments of oil stop he'll spin it as "Those evil Canadians are hoarding oil, that's why its $4/gal - they're worse than OPEC!".

Realistically I doubt that they'll stop receiving oil from Canada. Its the same cost per barrel no matter what country you get it from - but isn't it cheaper to transport it across a few miles vs across the Pacific? Especially when you have pipes that deliver it directly? I just don't see them turning the taps off.

Well, he's damned right. Does it make any difference whether the insurgents speak Baghdad Arabic or Quebec city Arabic?

Sites requiring logins make Cha! very sad inside.

Sounds like the US is going to have to liberate the shiat out of Alberta.

Bush: "Hey everyone, I don't know understand what fungible means!"

Buying oil from Canada is a threat to the US's energy independence and security.

Buying oil from Saudi Arabia strengthens the US's energy independence and security.

Any questions?

Ryker's Peninsula: Who's Alberta?

They make hair care products, I think.

I bought gas once in Edmonton. Am I going to be sent to Guantanamo?

A hoor.

/Ontario boy. Booya!

We'll just have to sell it to China instead.

How dare you speak of America like that! You left out the world's secondest biggest dipshiat...Dick Cheney.

It's like "tangible" but with less tan and more fun.

I would love to know what those closed-door energy policy meetings in 2001 were really about.

Nah, I hold Canada blameless in this. It's pretty normal when new legislation is passed to send a letter saying, "Hey, this probably wasn't what you were shooting for, but just in case..." It's probably a non story, but it's worth Canada's time to either get a favorable interpretation or to get corrective legislation if necessary. Our northern friends are doing the right thing here. No one is "wrong," it just makes sense to get things spelled out.

For everyone who wants to rtfa without registration, it's here (new window).

Bush? ooohhh you mean that dip-shiat Congress. Give them some blame too fark-tards.

It's so funny how much the times in our country have changed that I find myself agreeing with Weaver more and more. I always considered myself on a different side of the field.

That's more of a B.C thing than an Alberta thing.

Ryker's Peninsula: Who's Alberta?

Wouldn't expect you to know this... or anything, because that would be too much to ask of an American, but we're you biggest foreign supplier of oil. Yes, we sell you more than anyone else, including the whole middle east combined.

That's all. You can to back to watching Jerry Springer. Thanks for your time.

He was kidding, eh?

Fark using mary jane as a biofuel. Plastics!

Seriously. We could get a huge percentage of our plastics as well as a whole slew of novel new lubricant oils from the Hemp family.

canada huh? so the oil would be from the cod liver oil newfies use for lube and the gas is from poutine? (new window)

There's more oil there than all that's ever been discovered in Saudia Arabia. Certainly more than has ever been extracted from Ghawar.

You know what... you pretty much nailed us on that one - it us all very sad really.

Go to hell Bush.

/Having said that, that's the worst article on planet Earth. I'll reserve true judgement until I find a real article :)

Kind of a non-issue. Basically, their oil gets refined and isn't differentiated from other sources, so it isn't considered an "alternative" fuel. If we really wanted to bust Canada's balls, I guess this could be enforced, but we need that oil too much to do that.

Wow - looks like Da Prez had a 'Dumb and Dumberer' and 'Blonde and Blonder' movie marathon weekend with the Mrs.

Isn't Alberta one of those terrist organizations like Alqaeda?

Plus, Canada won't let us breath the air that comes across the border. Those arctic air masses are going to have to stop at the border. We'll be dependent on air coming up from Mexico to breath.

This NAFTA DAFTA CRAFTA stuff has our fearless leader all confused.

Good! Exploiting the oil sands would be an environmental disaster.
