 Interesting. The article I read calling out US refineries refining
 Canadian oil inferred that Canada lacked the capacity to refine, not
 the transportation logistics.

 A global commerce model with open trading partners is/was a good thing,
 but it requires all parties to act in the best interests of everyone.
 One crony capitalist/isolationist/megalomaniac/grifter and the whole
 model falls apart - as we're seeing now.
