That does sound smart when considering the fact that the world has a limited oil supply. However, even if Canada gave us an excellent price, uninterrupted, I'm afraid of what can happen to the price when (for example) the USA starts complaining about a lack of border enforcement.

You're right, but Biden made us hungry for all this satisfaction. Trump could accidentally set off a nuclear bomb, and after putting that on a scale, we'd still be happy that Biden is gone.

He wasn't that specific, but I found (for example and article from PBS from Sep 27, 2024 (well before Election Day) that quotes him like this:

"Former President Donald Trump has proposed a 60% tariff on goods from China and a 20% tariff on everything else the United States imports."

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/trump-favors-huge-new-tariffs-how-do-they-
work

He's mentioned it elsewhere too, but my point is that we were warned about this long before it ever happened and before he was re-elected.

I'm confident that Pierre Poilievre will be able to help us resolve these issues.

I can't speak for the super rich, but I have yet to hear any Trump supporters rescinding their endorsement of President Trump. I like Canada, and I have a few friends from Ontario, but I love President Trump. I literally pray for him every single day.
