So yes, they need Canada. Those US refiners will soon be pissed with the American federal government. And ironically, Albertans are going to end up super pissed with Poilievre.
Isn’t the Venezuelan oil cheaper, but they have sanctions in place? There’s no way the oil sands production costs less than the production in Venezuela though.
