That's why ya look stupid, Iddie.  Ya got no readin' comprehenshun.

He said, "Canada acts as our military reserve oil supply"

I am saying that he's incorrect.  Canada is our #1 supplier of oil.
Mexico is #2.  Both of these fulfill our normal, day to day needs.  He
used the word "reserve".  Our reserves are the SOR plus all the capped
wells in the country that might be brought back online.

I agree with the rest of his paragraph.  The SOR could not possibly
supply the nation.  There isn't a year's worth even if we could get it
back out very fast.  The military, power plants and other
infrastructure necessities would have first dibs anyway.  The rest of
us would fight over leftovers.

This also explains why Wa****ngton goes so easy on Mexico.  They have
oil and there are commies and radicals of all sorts just to their
south.
