Canadians : The New Muslims

[snousle]

Just spent some time looking at overall US oil import figures for the past year - it's been a while since I've looked at this data, so I was surprised to see that Canada has risen to the top of the list of sources for US foreign oil imports. Besides being the #1 supplier, Canada also supplies more oil to the US than all of the Middle East combined.

I got curious about this because while cruising Wal-Mart the other day (one of my favorite time-wasters), I spied a man in a T-shirt that read "TAKE THEIR GAS AND KICK THEIR ASS". Given these latest figures, I must now presume he was making a statement about Canada. I wonder if his aggressiveness would extend to ordinary Canadian immigrants such as myself.

Yes, we 'Merikans should stop sucking at the greasy teat* of mideastern oil and start sucking at the sticky teat* of Albertan tar sands.
