It is not true. I know you’re furiously googling but the source you provided is based on samples and acknowledges right in the article “(Canada, Venezuela, and Iran) have wide uncertainty within and wide variability across crude blends.”
If you don’t believe BMO believe your own government. This is from Budget 2025:
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." - General Dwight D. Eisenhower
"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine." - General William Tecumseh Sherman

Pour la première fois de l’histoire, notre langue, la langue française, fut exprimée en chemin vers la Lune.
Jamais le français fut parlé d’aussi loin.
Et c’est un Canadien qui l’a fait!
Bravo Jeremy Hansen, nous sommes tous fiers de vous!
Merci de nous rendre si fiers d’être Canadiens et de parler si bien la langue de Champlain.
Canadian sports broadcasting icon Vic Rauter announces his retirement following a distinguished career that has spanned 53 years. Rauter’s final broadcast will be Saturday’s Gold Medal Game at the World Men’s Curling Championship.
After the Tumbler Ridge shooting, the Bloc Québecois gave condolences in English. The CEO of Air Canada should have done the same for the francophone loved ones of the pilot who died at LaGuardia, regardless of the bilingualism debate. Anger is warranted:

I just can’t help myself but reshare this clip from one year ago when then Canadian Minister of Energy Jonathan Wilkinson, drawing on that 2024 BP scenario, said global oil demand was likely to peak last year.
Michael Wilbon with a shoutout to Canada's Deanna Stellato-Dudek on ESPN's Padon The Interruption.
"The Canadian figure skater. 42 years old, she was gone for 16 years and comes back and does this, I find that amazing."
Here’s my interpretation:
Trump is not an idiot.
He knows Carney is stalling trade talks, for political purposes, and no other reason.
Trump is forcing Carney back to the table.
He’s giving a glimpse of how ugly it can be, stalling & being difficult instead of negotiating a deal in good faith, instead of stalling in order to try to win a majority.
Carney needs to make a choice:
Does Canada continue to get decimated so he can selfishly attempt a majority?
OR
Does he do the right thing & focus on a trade deal?
It’s ridiculous it has come to this.
