@frank_nobilo@Peter41183052 Frank you’re great at commentary, love the insight from some who has “been there”. Keep it going. Also please comment why the universe is a Matt Fitzpatrick fan for the last 5 weeks!
Brazilian football legend Roberto Carlos' insane banana kick from 40 yards out. This was back in 1997 against France and remains one of the most spectacular goals of all time.

Literally none of this is true.
Where does he get this fake news from?
▪️Canada receives $0 in subsidies from the US
▪️If his alleged “$200 billion subsidy” is the US trade deficit vs Canada, the actual trade deficit in 2024 was~ $45 billion USD, 1/4 of what he claims (source: US Census Bureau)
▪️Until January, he frequently referred to the “$100 billion Canadian ripoff.” Somehow the fake number doubled over Christmas.
▪️Canada has the second smallest trade surplus vs the USA within the OECD, accounting for only 4% of the global US trade deficit
▪️The USA has a trade *surplus* with Canada on manufactured goods (and his primary focus seems to be on manufacturing)
▪️Canada’s trade surplus is made up *entirely* of our $170 billion in oil and gas exports to the US. Remove that, and the US is running a $45B USD trade *surplus* vs Canada.
▪️He says “we don’t need Canadian oil.” But 63% of US oil imports come from Canada. The ~4 million barrels / day we sell them = 25% of crude oil processed in US refineries, and ~20% of the 20M BPD consumed in the US. Many US refineries require the kind of heavy crude we produce. The US does not have significant reserves or production of heavy crude. The only other major alternative sources are Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
▪️The US typically buys our energy at a steep discount. Their imports from Canada are refined and some sold on the global market. It is estimated that the US economy generates a ~$19 billion windfall from this arbitrage, thereby reducing their global trade deficit.
▪️In other words, if there is some kind of “subsidy” in the trade relationship, it’s Canadian energy “subsidizing” the US economy.
▪️He claims the US has “more oil than Canada.” But Canada has ~170 billion barrels in proven and probable oil reserves, four times more than the USA’s 43 billion barrels.
▪️Canada has the 3rd largest proven and probable oil reserves on Earth. The US isn’t in the top ten.
▪️Trump himself has said repeatedly that he wants to buy much *more* Canadian oil by building another pipeline. Just last week he said again “we want to build the Keystone XL Pipeline.” A project of that scale would increase Canadian exports to the US by ~800,000 BPD, or ~20%.
