Vandalay2The reality is that this is exactly what the government wants.
In politics you have what the politician says, the verbal, and then what the politician does, the action.
Why is the question?
Why are we helping the Americans?
Is it that the U.S.A is our ally? The answer is often the most basic one.
Do some reserch on the Petro Dollar, the relationship of the American dollar to oil.
In my opinion The Americans are using the leverage of the Petro dollar in the fight against China and to a lesser extent other adversaries. The real goal at the moment seems to be, instigate capital flight from China then exaserbate the flow out. I think China has leverage issues, this is a slow process of slowly removing capital, specifcally, foriegn capital from the Chinese market.
Canadian oil is an advantage to the Americans, Trudeau is aware, so is the rest of the world. Cheers Matthew
