Just as President Trump begins his second term with promises of American energy dominance, our supposed ally Canada is proving to be as unreliable as a third-world petro-state when it comes to delivering the oil America desperately needs.
According to a damning new report from The Blaze, Canada possesses exactly the type of crude oil that U.S. refineries require, but their left-wing government's war on pipelines has made them nearly as "uninvestable" as Venezuela. The stunning reality? Venezuelan oil is once again flowing toward American refineries while Canada sits on the sidelines.
"Keep it in the ground" - that's the perverse governing philosophy driving Canada's energy suicide, according to Dan McTeague of Canadians for Affordable Energy. While Trump fights to unleash American energy production, our northern neighbors are choking off their own oil industry with regulatory red tape and environmental extremism.
"CRUDE AWAKENING: Canada's pipeline paralysis fumbles American oil market," posted energy analyst @tgradous on social media. "With Venezuelan oil once again flowing toward US refineries, 'uninvestable' Canada risks being left out in the cold."
This isn't Canada's first massive economic fumble. Social media users are pointing out how the country's financial incompetence runs deep - with @0xNonceSense noting that "Canada liquidated all its gold at $120/oz. Value then: $4.3 Billion. Value now: $162 Billion. One of the biggest fumbles in financial history."
The implications are staggering for American energy security. While Trump's team works to rebuild our strategic petroleum reserves and achieve true energy independence, Canada's pipeline paralysis forces us to rely on unstable regimes like Venezuela - or worse, hostile nations.
This is exactly why President Trump's "America First" energy agenda is so crucial. We cannot depend on allies who refuse to develop their own resources due to climate cult pressure. It's time for America to drill our way to energy dominance, because clearly we can't count on anyone else - not even Canada.
How long will Americans tolerate energy insecurity because our neighbors choose green ideology over economic reality?
