Did you know Canada has the third largest oil reserves of any country in the world after Saudi Arabia and Venezuela?

why isn't US invading them?

Why would we invade our 51st sate?

It's the Queen's land, she'll nuke us

SOON

...

Fug, they're onto our secret plans! :DDD

>le USA invades for oil XDDDDD
18+

because we do all the work of digging it up and moving it, the Yanks just have to buy it then refine it themselves.

they have all the refineries so we can't even do anything with it.

...

Trudeau is a U.S. plant to weaken Canadian resolve via drugging them all with weed. Then, the invasion can truely commence unimpeded.

Just as planned

he's doing a shitty job of getting us weed

FAKE

Are you kidding in Ottawa 20 dispensaries have opened since he got elected.

Because we don't invade countries for oil.

We invade countries who don't use USD as their international currency

Why would they invade us for it when all they need to obtain it is a pipeline, which they are actively blocking, funded entirely by private interests?

Our oil industry is in the shitter atm and there is NO new investment happening, which means unless there's a giant economic collapse which destroys demand there will be an oil shortage in the future and oil prices will return to $150 a barrel 2008 style in which case the economy will collapse anyways because that shit is unsustainable either way we're fucked

It's happening faggots

Oil companies are going broke trying to extract their remaining conventional reserves which peaked in 2006 btw

Canadian oil sands and American shale oil is the only reason industrial civilization hasn't collapsed, and right now both are unprofitable

Not only are oil companies going broke but OPEC nations too, for example Saudi Arabia can extract oil for $10 a barrel but they need oil prices to be $110 to fund their welfare programs and stave off a revolution, they are set to be totally broke by 2020

Venezuela has already collapsed due to oil prices and Nigeria, Iraq, and Libya are all unstable powder kegs

They already practically own us

To sum it up: peak oil was correct, oil is not going to physically run out though it will just be unprofitable to extract

Most shale oil companies in the US weren't even making money when oil was $100 a barrel, the entire thing was one giant financial speculation byproduct of low interest rates

We did. Twice.

>the USA is not involved militarily in the Middle East over oil interests

>though it will just be unprofitable to extract

Why would they? They already get our oil in crude form and sell it back to us with several times the added value in the form of petroleum.

The oil probably low net energy output. Other countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia have higher-quality oil, and Siberian oil is "light, sweet crude", which is an exceptionally high-quality type of oil used to make the very best gasoline. Canadian oil is located in oil sands and oil shale. Oil sands must be filtered, washed, and filtered again, which requires a large amount of energy. The resulting liquid is more like tar than crude and burns poorly. Oil shale must be processed several times before yielding its liquids, which seriously reduces its net energy output. The extraction of oil shale is also considerably more difficult. It is expensive and requires heavy equipment. An invasion of Canada for these oil resources would likely cost my people a lot, and their value is dubious. We may even have a net loss of fuel and profits. Besides, we have no interest in an invasion of Canada, which is probably our closest ally.

>capitalizing queen

Faggot.

Why invade the best neighbors a country could ask for?

Oh... you guys already said what I just said. FUCK.

>Faggot.

Not really anymore, most of the oil in this country comes from within our own borders and Canada. Commiefornia is the only state IIRC that imports oil from overseas.
