The problem is our lumber, oil, gas are majority sold to US. We would have to find another trade partner like Europe or china. If we can't it, it would be a major loss of GDP.
Much of Canadian oil is produced in the oil sands and is quite ``heavy.'' This means that it requires expensive upgrading and more refining than lighter crudes. Since it costs more to refine, it sells for a lower price.
I am a Korean-Canadian immigrant who has lived here for decades. I pay my taxes and care deeply about this country’s future. It’s time to pause immigration, stop printing money, reduce taxes, and build more pipelines from Alberta to British Columbia to export Canadian oil and gas overseas and restore Canada’s competitiveness. The entire world needs Canadian natural resources, especially in light of the ongoing war in Ukraine. Stop underselling to the U.S!
Funny how you want to stop printing money yet also demand pipelines be built. Where do you think the $$$ for that would come from? Printing money, cause it's how a sovereign nation with a fiat currency operates.
Did the Western Media tell u also North Korea is your enemy? Without a boogie man we cannot sell weapons. Also note that Korea has one of the biggest oil refinery in the world.
How quickly you forget the massive opposition to doubling the oil pipeline from Alberta to the west coast! It caused delays and cost overruns. Not easy to build pipelines in Canada despite our oil resources. Don’t just listen but check some facts about what is being said. Canadians are smarter than this guy makes us believe.
If Alberta stop giving away trillions of dollars to those multinational, petrochemical companies and institute a sales tax just think how rich this country would be
Guess what folks that is why Trump is making such a fuss of Canada becoming part of the States. We have resources up the ying yang and the Americans want them at no cost to themselves.
Still doesn't make any strategic sense. If Canada became part of the States, the oil would still have to travel the same distances. The only difference would be that Canadian oil industry workers would now have to be paid in US dollars instead of the smaller Canadian dollar and there might no longer be an Alberta provincial government, so possibly no more subsidies given locally at a deficit. This would definitely not decrease the price of Canadian oil for Americans.
China has infiltrated Our Parliament, Our Federal and Provincial Elections, and owns Politicians. The US can not afford to have China as a neighbour. We are the second largest country onn the planet with a population smaller than California. We are an extremely rich country with poor people struggling to heat their homes and put food on the table. The depth of which China has dug into our country is just starting to be recognized, because it has been highly suppressed for almost a decade.
The problem is... it is all a Trump smoke screen. He is grabbing headlines to gaslight you.... 'Look over here!'. He has no idea how to lower pricing. How to lower interest rates (today the stock markets fell because rates will go up this year). How to create employment. But he sure knows how to give tax cuts to the uber rich! By the billions! The Bill is already drafted. Do you think these Billionaires will share it with you by giving you higher salaries? And look over here! There is a woke thing going on over here! How much more food will that put on your plate? Start paying attention. You will see that this is all just a episode of The Apprentice.
@Pencil-o1p They wouldn't lower their prices if they didn't need our refineries, but Pierre is talking the toughest talk he can from a position of negotiating weakness. It won't do much with Trump, but I respect it.
@@InsatiableMonkey Even if Canada built their own refineries, their oil and gas is irrelevant really. While they do sell us more than any other single country does, Imported energy from Canada still makes up approx 1% of all energy the US consumes.

Part of the discount is from the higher costs of distilling heavy Canadian oil. But Poilievre is correct that Canada has been selling oil and gas at a hefty discount to the U.S. for decades. When you establish a business with only one customer, the only price is what that customer wants to pay. And U.S. consumers, refiners, and government have been prepared to take full advantage.
Im about to blow your mind: No one refines oil for gasoline. Gasoline is a BYPRODUCT of refining JETFUEL. Its all about that airforce and funding military. Because the government is just selling you 'the bad stuff' to recoup as much of the cost as possible. (And then they tax that for extra $$). Your government could make the price of gas 10c or free right now. But then they would want an extra 50 billion (of whatever) for the military. They already bought (or own) the oil and the refinery.
We also upended our refining capacity to benefit the Americans by making the supply chain "more efficient." Capitalism hurts poor people.... I think we can see it hurts poorer countries, too.
You are correct about the higher distilling costs, also Canadian oil is roughly $20 a barrel cheaper than International prices if the US were to buy from somewhere else. As Poilievre says, you would have to invest in billions of dollars worth of refineries and pipe lines to sell to the rest of the world. Then you have the cost of transporting that oil overseas. All in all the discount is not really hurting Canada.
I have been saying that for decades. Why has Alberta or Canada failed to build more refineries and refine and sell gasoline at market prices. Partly it is the previous corrupt politicians who worked with lobbyists to make sure that does not happen and US gets cheap oil to refine and sell back to us at market rates and the world. How stupid are we and we are waking up now since the threat of tariffs are on our doorsteps. Why could we not diversify energy from just one customer ages ago. In fact other commodities' that are traded with the US should also be looked at - Soft Wood lumber, Uranium, Beef, Potash etc.
Oil / Gas companies have determined that it's cheaper to refine crude oil in the US and then ship the distilled product back to Canada. Simple economies of scale.
Why can’t we refine it, help with the cost of building it and sell that to the US northern States and Asia. No resources should leave this country in its raw state.
a lot of the time when Canada sells hydro to the US at a discount is because Canada has a surplus with no way to store it. Hydro is not like oil or some type of product (like TVs or cars etc) that can just be stored in barrels or warehouses. Canada produces a lot of hydro to meet its peak demands but there is a big swing in the amount needed in peak times compared to "down" times. You cannot just quickly shut off a generator from morning peak time to afternoon slow time then back on for evening peak time. So Canada produces enough power to meet it's peak time needs then in the slow times it sells off the extra power to the US at a lower rate just so they take it. If the US doesn't take it then Canada would have to shut down generators and not produce enough to meet peak times or it would over produce in slow times which would shut down the entire system (basically the generators would produce too much power at those times causing power line failures, generator failures etc as the over abundance of power would "explode" or "short ciruit" the system- no way to store it and no place for it to go).
@@hugolafhugolaf no windmills are built to offset reliance on "dirty" power like burning coal and oil. Or leaves long term thousand year pollution like nuclear. Also windmill power compared to other forms of hydro production is relatively inexpensive so even at a discounted rate power from a windmill can produce profits (where other forms of production at a discounted rate could lead to break even or lose). But you stay ignorant.

While Studying economics, our economics professor who worked on the free trade agreement disclosed how the Mulroney Govt. Agreed sell oil and gas at a lower rate an Canada could never market our own oil and gas to Canadians at lower rate than the price to America. This opposition leader always make remarks aiming at Liberals or rather at Trudeau putting the blame and not disclosing real facts. I wish he didn’t follow Trumps ways how only he can make everything right. It’s a very ugly way to win at any cost. At the end it is us citizens who has to bear consequences while politicians have nothing to loose with their high paying jobs and qualifying for pensions working for only few years.
"...free trade agreement disclosed how the Mulroney Govt. Agreed sell oil and gas at a lower rate an Canada could never market our own oil and gas to Canadians at lower rate than the price to America." I'd forgotten that part. Appreciate the reminder.
I’m in Calgary. It’s time that a leader talks about oil and gas. We have the resources to make Canada stable and wealthy but instead, even Quebec buys dirty oil from those countries that are less than desirable. We need pipelines and refineries to make Canada stronger and independent.Instead our policies have made us weak.
@@nickyalousakis3851 It's because Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre and 81 other Quebec municipalities refused to allow the Energy East pipeline to be built from Alberta to bring oil to Quebec and too Canada's largest oil refinery at Saint John, New Brunswick who also import Saudi oil. It is Quebecer's who sold out Canada in favour of Saudi oil.
If you do that the social system they built will fall. The center of power will move West. They can't have that! Thanks Trump as he is forcing Canada to have hard conversations we otherwise are ruled by the French and British.
Canada's tar sands are some of the dirtiest oil in the world. Literally the last oil reserves that should be harvested while we move to a much much lower fossil fuel future. The fact that we profit off significantly contributing to the climate change disaster doesn't make it right. How many cities/forests need to burn, be choked by smoke, be flooded, before people realize the cost of continuing to refine tar sands is TOO HIGH!
Just wait a year, we might get lucky and have blue states join Canada. then we'd be the most powerful and largest nation on earth with everything we need to be independent, saying that i think we should join the EU and convince Greenland and England to join too.
Outside of manufacturing, western Canada has absolutely everything a country could possibly be blessed with. How it's hard for people to live is insane. The mismanagement is astounding beyond belief.
We could have easily have been completely energy independent and a far wealthier nation by now. Liberals, and previous Conservative governments as well, have been screwing Canadians six ways to Sunday for decades. It stops now! Our natural resources belong to the people of Canada!
too late. EV adaptation is killing oil, by the time we got it up and running it would collapse. saying that we are the third largest supply of lithium on earth....
Imagine if we nationalized oil like Norway. The Sovereign Wealth Fund is worth 325,000 per Norway citizen and its interest pays for all sorts of public programs, including green investments. And we produce significantly more oil than Norway. The tragedy is that we actually had this, but the conservatives working on behalf of oil lobbyists chipped away at before finally selling off Petro Canada to private interest under Brian Mulroney.
It is the oil and gas companies that have decided, over many years, not to refine oil in Canada. It is more profitable for them to just sell our oil at a discount to the US refiners. That said, I have always been an advocate of refining our oil here for domestic consumption and selling it to other countries at the going rate. This has been going on long before environmental concerns became popular and under both Liberal and Conservative governments. It is a corporate decision, unless you want the government to build and operate the infrastructure.
That simply isn't true. Regulations forced that decision. People don't invest billions into hostile territory when they can avoid it. It's also irrelevant because the same governments that made it too costly and risky to refine oil here could have made it a condition and if capital were lacking could offer guarantees around regulation, protection from interference, and co-invest 50/50 as partners. It's purely a result of politics.
Why does canada sell Usa electricity, cheaper then we the producers pay in canada? We build the power, pay premium price, then sell”excess electric” to new york state at less then half the price we pay. We produce it, we should get the discounted price!!! We built the excess solely to export, and believed the lies we were told, to their benefit, not ours!
Careful what you wish for Trump. You said you didn't really know who Pierre was. You'll find out soon enough. Why are we sending our oil to the refineries like the one in Superior Wisconsin? Let's build our own.
Poilievre is more dangerous than Trump. He believes in making Canada great again, has some similar conservative views like Trump but actually intelligent
In other words, oligarch control was gatekeeping affordable gas from us because they have too much power. Affordable gas is an option being withheld. Good job on Canada. As an American, I respect Canadian sovereignty.
Nope. Alberta does get a royalty as they should. The oil is on their land. But selling prices are set by the oil companies during the bid processes. It really is that simple.
Well duh, it's their oil, and when it comes to the US, their only concern is how much they have to cut the price down to compete with American shale. The fact that the oil is shipped by rail necessitates a further cut, because shipping oil by rail is way more expensive than shipping oil by pipeline.
Pollieve is a damn fool. He can only say his slogans over and over like a parrot. Here he has to say something with actually meaning and listen to him stumble on his own words. Dude has extra crutons in his word salad.
@@albertaman6390 PP made these deals with Harper himself, like the De-beers diamond mine only paying us 25 cents per million they pull out of the ground. Trudeau however is capable as well as he did nothing to fix Harper and the Cons corruption cause they get money from the same rich people playing good cop to the cons bad cop. Trudeau said it himself, as a kid he used to play at Brian Mulroney's house! They're the same party!
Let me tell you a true story. I was working as a PA in an oil and gas company in Calgary during the downturn in 2020, when the WTI price hit its lowest at $38 USD per barrel. We were forced to sell to the USA for $28 Canadian per barrel, and it had to be trucked to the US side. If you sold through the pipeline directly, the price was even lower. We had no choice but to do this because all transportation methods-railways and pipelines-were at full capacity. Imagine this: Americans bought our oil for cheap and sold it back to us at a higher price, leading to increased gasoline prices.
The US refines it. We have refineries that don't handle crude oil, partly because the decades of Conservative governments in Alberta preferred to avoid assessing a sales tax which left little money to upgrade their refineries that already exit to handle crude oil. Short term thinking and incompetent decisions will always come back to bite you in the a-hoale.
Indeed. This is how Trump thinks: He buys a potato from us for $5. We buy a carrot from him for $1. He is therefore OUT $4!!! And as a result, he deserves to own our carrot farm, it's only fair. The man is not getting sound financial advice and it clearly shows. He is confusing a trade imbalance with a loss, and as long as he eats the potato, there is no loss in this arrangement.
None of the provinces are "Canada First". There is always that one protester or short sighted, selfish premier that stops any progress, so I don't hold out any hope that any PM will make a difference. This is all blah blah talk I've heard a hundred times. We need a boat load of pipelines from Alberta to both coasts to become independent and get fair value for our energy. Instead of bringing prosperity and financial security to the ENTIRE country so that money can be used to become leaders in green energy and products, the premiers would rather bicker like children to the point it holds back an entire nation so that we are 100% dependent on the US. Now that the US has informed us they could care less about us and want to take us over, everyone is shocked. If you think any PM can fix this, you are fooling yourself. The PM can not force Quebec to have a pipeline and Quebec would rather buy oil from dictators then let another province benefit, therefor any PM we vote in will be useless. Let me hear that the premier of Quebec say that he actually cares about Canada and that he will allow a pipeline in from Alberta, then I can start to believe mr. pee pee.
Time to build a mega refinery on the border between Alberta and Saskatchewan, produce value added products to sell globally and provide energy to Canadians and Canadian companies so they can be more competitive. That would also attract global investors

You usually refine oil close to the market where it is consumed. There is a refinery in Regina, a number of Edmonton and those supply AB/SK/MB. There are refineries in Ontario and Montreal that get most of their oil from Alberta (shipped trough the US). BC is a bit weird. There is a small refinery in Burnaby and another in Price George. Trans-mountain also has capability to have some refined product form Edmonton shipped to Vancouver. A fair bit of the gas in BC is refined in Washington state (using oil from Alberta).
You guys are landlocked, we had an oil spill here in Vancouver and never again. We can't risk the beautiful BC to get destroyed and it's whole eco system just for the other provinces to benefit more out of it. This is where we live and play , BC cannot afford to have anymore of such incident much more a worse one. Bring it over the atlantic and ask the east coast if they feel like having these massive pipelines themselves. Trudeau listened to BC that's why we voted him among other thing like having a coast guard and oil spill contingency crews in our inlet .
They did. That is the reason the current Liberal government funded building the Trans-mountain pipeline when industry decided it was cheaper to ship to the US.
U.S. here. Canadian businesses need to develop markets that maximize returns to Canadian businesses. Leave the government out of it. Canada does not sell oil and gas to the U.S. Private Canadian businesses sell oil and gas to private U.S. businesses.
It was Trudeau the first that imposed that price on Alberta and the Liberals have been blocking attempts to get it increased since that time Documented and not Alberta"s fault
when alberta has been clipped in how it sends it's energy by radical liberals... you have to rely on one customer. alberta has been mumbling about a pipeline not just to the usa, but to eastern canada.... which liberals bought and then intentionally mothballed, as well as west to vancouver. currently it's limited in capacity to train movement only. logistical capacity was clipped. further liberals forbase sending energy to europe despite the EU asking for canadian engergy.
And Pierre would do what exactly? He can rant all he wants about "radical" environmentalists but who he is actually ranting against is people who live in areas that don't want a pipeline. It's not some big conspiracy. It's your neighbours. Also, keep in mind that leaders everywhere don't have it easy when it comes to building pipelines, in fact Harper struggled as well.. so did Chretien, Mulroney, Biden AND SO DID TRUMP!! In fact, Trudeau actually made the most ground on this, which makes me laugh.
That’s actually not true. You really need to research these environmental activists who come in from the United States in Europe and who they are funded from. There is a good documentary called over the barrel which shows who is funding environmentalists in the United States to attack Canada Koch brothers are a good example of this
Thank you for crediting the people that deserve it... even when we might not like them, credit is due where credit is due. Something we must all remember. It is what keeps us from going Orange.
Harper got 4 major pipelines built, WITHOUT tax payer money. Trudeau came in, got two pipelines cancelled, then had to buy and pay for the 1 he did get built. At a cost to tax payers of $40 billion !
@@Adrian-nw7iki don’t really care for most things that he says but this is very much common knowledge. We have heavy crude oil that isn’t worth very much and has few other markets, so Americans buy it at a discount and sell their light crude which has a higher value.
Yes it's true (a long, long time ago). We're friends with the US but latest statements from their president elect do not sound so ..... encouraging to say the least
A few years ago the Irving Refinery in Saint John NB did a $1B upgrade to allow them the capability to refine GASOLINE (not crude oil, mind you) they buy in ocean going tankers from Venezuela and after cleaning it up, it ends up in filling stations all around Eastern Canada and North-Eastern United States. Just a fact for you.
Canadian Oil is very 'thick' and as a result it does not command the same value at say WTI Crude. Alberta oil is harder to refine and only specialized refineries can take it on. Hence why it's priced lower.
@@rogerrabbit8756 Nat Gas is tricky though - in recent months there was a bit of over production and storage capacity was maxed out. Then what makes Nat Gas markets is the pipeline planning between buyers/sellers etc. So it's actually a bunch of factors why Canadian Nat Gas is a bit under-priced. But ultimately it's the market that decides, not the government.
Quebec already said no to a pipeline. The only pipeline they will accept from Alberta is one that is full of cash. But no Alberta, you cannot export any oil through Quebec.
I've been complaining about this for years. Development of other markets should be the major priority. Would you base a business on one customer? Nothing should leave this country in raw form whatsoever. Politicians of all stripes have been selling us out for generations. Much too busy lining their pockets.

think about what you just said. 40% foreign owned, mostly governments and large investment companies, who's economies are tied at least in part to the performance of Wall Street and the value of the dollar. that is how you crash your own economies. it's not mom and pop with their 50 shares of microsoft constituting that 40%, if they pulled out en masse no one on Wall Street would even notice. it is government retirement accounts and bonds and bank portfolios tied to it. that is cutting off your nose to spite your face. back to the drawing board.

Really liked this guy. But he feels super soft on this. Where's that edge and wit used so often when he confronts liberals? Trump insults our sovereignty and threatens to cripple our economy. Apparently because he wants to annex us. And yet Poilievre seems to respond to this almost apologetically with half hearted hints at what we might do? I want a Canadian patriot. Not an American boot-licker.
Sorry, Poilievre would sell Canada out to Trump in a heartbeat. Same as Steven Harper did plunging Canada into a deep, decade long recession that the Liberal government hauled us out of when they took over.
Because he's following a script that he's been given. Annexation by Trump is the way out of these puppet masters. Anyone that doesn't want to be part of the US should leave Canada. This should really have been worked out at the end of the Second World War.

Great. Then how about the Conservatives, after selling Petro Canada, buy it back so we can do everything everyone here wants us to do? Otherwise, this is all just wishful thinking quite frankly. We don't own any of it!
It's about time someone pointed this out! We have been subsidizing the USA with oil at margins way lower than the world price for oil. Perhaps if we got paid world prices, we could more easily meet our NATO commitments. WCS (Western Canada price) is $61.67 while WTI (USA) is $73.34. Difference is $11.67 US per barrel. $11.67 * 4300000 barrels per day * 365 days = $18.3 Billion Another thing not mentioned is the money the USA makes from NATO members selling military equipment. Not like Canada will be building their own jets anymore. Without NATO, the US would lose huge money in military sales.
Are you gonna teach him the facts? He mentioned more than once that we need rafineries so we do not ship our oil to US to get processed and than we pay for it.. which part of his speech you did not understand?

I say is Trump pulls what's left of the Canadian car manufacturing they would be defaulting on the millions Canada gave those companies, as such seize those factories and invite a business partnership with the Chinese. BYD and Canada could own that future. Process our energy with only Canadian owned and invest in at home corporations. We won't need to export anywhere near what we currently do is we keep those jobs in Canada. For the interm, both the US and Canada is going to go through pain but Canada has the resources to come out of this as a much stronger Country.
Also natural gas. A mega project is underway in BC that turns gas into a liquid and ships it to China/Asia. Give us time, and we will find other markets for our resources.
A bit more then that but agreed. I'm under no illusions, we wouldn't exist without you guys, you would exist without us. Our military is probably around 30,000 combat troops... we're literally the 5' 100lb chick running her mouth off to the 6'3 250lb dude about how she's strong and independent.
Canada had the will and capability to produce and make most of the stuff we needed. And that was when we were 10 million people. But we became complacent by signing free trade deals with the big market down south. Once again, we’re reminded that nothing’s free in life, even with someone we consider a friend. Time to grow a pair again.
Trans Canada pipeline is open through BC and selling to Asian markets. Coastal pipeline is open through BC and moving nat gas to LNG facility in BC and selling to Asia. Try to keep up please.
"Because of fanatical and stupid environmental extremists"... ok, this guy has finally won me over completely -) Love someone that calls a spade a spade.

Why has this turned into US vs Canada? I hope you guys realize this is what our enemies want 😂 Trump gave Canada a choice. He didn’t say he was going to punish Canada for fun, he wanted them to cooperate in the process of securing the border.

Its not that Pierre says it, its a known fact that the US gets our oil at a huge discount.
It better stay that way unless you want your world turned upside down.
Much of Canadian oil is produced in the oil sands and is quite ``heavy.'' This means that it requires expensive upgrading and more refining than lighter crudes. Since it costs more to refine, it sells for a lower price.

I am a Korean-Canadian immigrant who has lived here for decades. I pay my taxes and care deeply about this country’s future. It’s time to pause immigration, stop printing money, reduce taxes, and build more pipelines from Alberta to British Columbia to export Canadian oil and gas overseas and restore Canada’s competitiveness. The entire world needs Canadian natural resources, especially in light of the ongoing war in Ukraine. Stop underselling to the U.S!
It will only happen if Canadians will stop electing Lieberals and NDPs!
Now that you are here we should pause immigration? SELFISH much???
Funny how you want to stop printing money yet also demand pipelines be built. Where do you think the $$$ for that would come from? Printing money, cause it's how a sovereign nation with a fiat currency operates.
Did the Western Media tell u also North Korea is your enemy? Without a boogie man we cannot sell weapons. Also note that Korea has one of the biggest oil refinery in the world.
How quickly you forget the massive opposition to doubling the oil pipeline from Alberta to the west coast! It caused delays and cost overruns. Not easy to build pipelines in Canada despite our oil resources. Don’t just listen but check some facts about what is being said. Canadians are smarter than this guy makes us believe.

Guess what folks that is why Trump is making such a fuss of Canada becoming part of the States. We have resources up the ying yang and the Americans want them at no cost to themselves.
He’s been trolling twinkle socks so we’d wake up and see him for who he is .
Is that why Canada is broke and rapes it's peoples paychecks... not a bright lot up there.
Still doesn't make any strategic sense. If Canada became part of the States, the oil would still have to travel the same distances. The only difference would be that Canadian oil industry workers would now have to be paid in US dollars instead of the smaller Canadian dollar and there might no longer be an Alberta provincial government, so possibly no more subsidies given locally at a deficit. This would definitely not decrease the price of Canadian oil for Americans.
I think Trump is looking forward to negotiations with an adult.
China has infiltrated Our Parliament, Our Federal and Provincial Elections, and owns Politicians. The US can not afford to have China as a neighbour. We are the second largest country onn the planet with a population smaller than California. We are an extremely rich country with poor people struggling to heat their homes and put food on the table. The depth of which China has dug into our country is just starting to be recognized, because it has been highly suppressed for almost a decade.
As an American, I'm fine with this, because a country's leader should look to their own country's best interests. Let the negotiations begin.
The problem is... it is all a Trump smoke screen. He is grabbing headlines to gaslight you.... 'Look over here!'. He has no idea how to lower pricing. How to lower interest rates (today the stock markets fell because rates will go up this year). How to create employment. But he sure knows how to give tax cuts to the uber rich! By the billions! The Bill is already drafted. Do you think these Billionaires will share it with you by giving you higher salaries? And look over here! There is a woke thing going on over here! How much more food will that put on your plate? Start paying attention. You will see that this is all just a episode of The Apprentice.
I agreed. And I don’t believe Canada did the US any favor regardless what they’re saying.
@Pencil-o1p They wouldn't lower their prices if they didn't need our refineries, but Pierre is talking the toughest talk he can from a position of negotiating weakness. It won't do much with Trump, but I respect it.
@@InsatiableMonkey Even if Canada built their own refineries, their oil and gas is irrelevant really. While they do sell us more than any other single country does, Imported energy from Canada still makes up approx 1% of all energy the US consumes.

Part of the discount is from the higher costs of distilling heavy Canadian oil. But Poilievre is correct that Canada has been selling oil and gas at a hefty discount to the U.S. for decades. When you establish a business with only one customer, the only price is what that customer wants to pay. And U.S. consumers, refiners, and government have been prepared to take full advantage.
Hey, hey. There’s no room for polite, logical discourse in the UA-cam comment section.
Im about to blow your mind:
No one refines oil for gasoline. Gasoline is a BYPRODUCT of refining JETFUEL.
Its all about that airforce and funding military. Because the government is just selling you 'the bad stuff' to recoup as much of the cost as possible. (And then they tax that for extra $$).
Your government could make the price of gas 10c or free right now. But then they would want an extra 50 billion (of whatever) for the military. They already bought (or own) the oil and the refinery.
We also upended our refining capacity to benefit the Americans by making the supply chain "more efficient."
Capitalism hurts poor people.... I think we can see it hurts poorer countries, too.
Wrong. Brent crude and Western select have different market values.
And we sell at a discount above and beyond that. 20-30% cheaper.
You are correct about the higher distilling costs, also Canadian oil is roughly $20 a barrel cheaper than International prices if the US were to buy from somewhere else. As Poilievre says, you would have to invest in billions of dollars worth of refineries and pipe lines to sell to the rest of the world. Then you have the cost of transporting that oil overseas. All in all the discount is not really hurting Canada.
I have been saying that for decades. Why has Alberta or Canada failed to build more refineries and refine and sell gasoline at market prices. Partly it is the previous corrupt politicians who worked with lobbyists to make sure that does not happen and US gets cheap oil to refine and sell back to us at market rates and the world. How stupid are we and we are waking up now since the threat of tariffs are on our doorsteps. Why could we not diversify energy from just one customer ages ago. In fact other commodities' that are traded with the US should also be looked at - Soft Wood lumber, Uranium, Beef, Potash etc.
Mulroney!
Oil / Gas companies have determined that it's cheaper to refine crude oil in the US and then ship the distilled product back to Canada. Simple economies of scale.
Because of people like my woke cousins on Vancouver island…
Why can’t we refine it, help with the cost of building it and sell that to the US northern States and Asia. No resources should leave this country in its raw state.
because big coperations don't want to deal with strike
Diversify Canada! Let's trade our goods to other countries other than the US.
Yes I agree but the US should ban All trade with Canada.
You are literally crazy. Bot

Don't forget Canada sells hydro power too.
a lot of the time when Canada sells hydro to the US at a discount is because Canada has a surplus with no way to store it. Hydro is not like oil or some type of product (like TVs or cars etc) that can just be stored in barrels or warehouses. Canada produces a lot of hydro to meet its peak demands but there is a big swing in the amount needed in peak times compared to "down" times. You cannot just quickly shut off a generator from morning peak time to afternoon slow time then back on for evening peak time. So Canada produces enough power to meet it's peak time needs then in the slow times it sells off the extra power to the US at a lower rate just so they take it. If the US doesn't take it then Canada would have to shut down generators and not produce enough to meet peak times or it would over produce in slow times which would shut down the entire system (basically the generators would produce too much power at those times causing power line failures, generator failures etc as the over abundance of power would "explode" or "short ciruit" the system- no way to store it and no place for it to go).

Just wait a year, we might get lucky and have blue states join Canada. then we'd be the most powerful and largest nation on earth with everything we need to be independent, saying that i think we should join the EU and convince Greenland and England to join too.
Outside of manufacturing, western Canada has absolutely everything a country could possibly be blessed with. How it's hard for people to live is insane. The mismanagement is astounding beyond belief.
We could have easily have been completely energy independent and a far wealthier nation by now. Liberals, and previous Conservative governments as well, have been screwing Canadians six ways to Sunday for decades. It stops now! Our natural resources belong to the people of Canada!
Its about time we refined our own energy
too late. EV adaptation is killing oil, by the time we got it up and running it would collapse. saying that we are the third largest supply of lithium on earth....
Imagine if we nationalized oil like Norway. The Sovereign Wealth Fund is worth 325,000 per Norway citizen and its interest pays for all sorts of public programs, including green investments. And we produce significantly more oil than Norway. The tragedy is that we actually had this, but the conservatives working on behalf of oil lobbyists chipped away at before finally selling off Petro Canada to private interest under Brian Mulroney.
You're proposing NEP 2.0
Mulroney was the worst PM Canada ever had...until Trudeau.
It is the oil and gas companies that have decided, over many years, not to refine oil in Canada. It is more profitable for them to just sell our oil at a discount to the US refiners. That said, I have always been an advocate of refining our oil here for domestic consumption and selling it to other countries at the going rate. This has been going on long before environmental concerns became popular and under both Liberal and Conservative governments. It is a corporate decision, unless you want the government to build and operate the infrastructure.
Don't tell P.P. that it would get in the way of the only thing he is good at: blaming Trudeau for _everything_ .
@@lewisduffy675 And making his rich friends richer
Much of this is mandated, has nothing to do with the free market.
That simply isn't true. Regulations forced that decision. People don't invest billions into hostile territory when they can avoid it. It's also irrelevant because the same governments that made it too costly and risky to refine oil here could have made it a condition and if capital were lacking could offer guarantees around regulation, protection from interference, and co-invest 50/50 as partners. It's purely a result of politics.
Finally, an accurate and unbiased observation. Thank you! 👍

Let me tell you a true story. I was working as a PA in an oil and gas company in Calgary during the downturn in 2020, when the WTI price hit its lowest at $38 USD per barrel. We were forced to sell to the USA for $28 Canadian per barrel, and it had to be trucked to the US side. If you sold through the pipeline directly, the price was even lower. We had no choice but to do this because all transportation methods-railways and pipelines-were at full capacity. Imagine this: Americans bought our oil for cheap and sold it back to us at a higher price, leading to increased gasoline prices.
Liberal Government at its finest. $$$$$$ out the window
The US refines it. We have refineries that don't handle crude oil, partly because the decades of Conservative governments in Alberta preferred to avoid assessing a sales tax which left little money to upgrade their refineries that already exit to handle crude oil.

Now that the US has informed us they could care less about us and want to take us over, everyone is shocked. If you think any PM can fix this, you are fooling yourself. The PM can not force Quebec to have a pipeline and Quebec would rather buy oil from dictators then let another province benefit, therefor any PM we vote in will be useless.

You usually refine oil close to the market where it is consumed. There is a refinery in Regina, a number of Edmonton and those supply AB/SK/MB. There are refineries in Ontario and Montreal that get most of their oil from Alberta (shipped trough the US). BC is a bit weird. There is a small refinery in Burnaby and another in Price George. Trans-mountain also has capability to have some refined product form Edmonton shipped to Vancouver. A fair bit of the gas in BC is refined in Washington state (using oil from Alberta).
You guys are landlocked, we had an oil spill here in Vancouver and never again. We can't risk the beautiful BC to get destroyed and it's whole eco system just for the other provinces to benefit more out of it. This is where we live and play , BC cannot afford to have anymore of such incident much more a worse one. Bring it over the atlantic and ask the east coast if they feel like having these massive pipelines themselves.

@@Adrian-nw7iki don’t really care for most things that he says but this is very much common knowledge. We have heavy crude oil that isn’t worth very much and has few other markets, so Americans buy it at a discount and sell their light crude which has a higher value.
In Europe, 71 out of 96 of their refineries can process our heavy crude
HE and Harper are the reason those agreements are in place!!! He's a sellout and a hypocrite!!
Yes it's true (a long, long time ago). We're friends with the US but latest statements from their president elect do not sound so ..... encouraging to say the least
So double the price. Time to fight.
Yes and the US should just ban all trade to Canada, Lets fight.
double the price and get none of the money. America doesn't have to buy Canadian oil and gas, but Canada doesn't have any other options to sell it.
bro we don't need to buy your stuff, America is able to be energy independent and we were under trump than biden went and ruined it for us
A few years ago the Irving Refinery in Saint John NB did a $1B upgrade to allow them the capability to refine GASOLINE (not crude oil, mind you) they buy in ocean going tankers from Venezuela and after cleaning it up, it ends up in filling stations all around Eastern Canada and North-Eastern United States. Just a fact for you.
Why is Irving one of the biggest liberal Donors ?
Line 5 pipeline......Alberta oil.........where you aware.......
Without Canada a huge portion of USA would have no electricity, Quebec alone supplies the whole east coast with power
Canadian Oil is very 'thick' and as a result it does not command the same value at say WTI Crude. Alberta oil is harder to refine and only specialized refineries can take it on. Hence why it's priced lower.
Most Countries don't want our Dirty oil, thats why the Saudi's are so wealthy
He didnt just say oil. We have over a trillion cubic meters of natural gas.
@@rogerrabbit8756 Nat Gas is tricky though - in recent months there was a bit of over production and storage capacity was maxed out. Then what makes Nat Gas markets is the pipeline planning between buyers/sellers etc. So it's actually a bunch of factors why Canadian Nat Gas is a bit under-priced. But ultimately it's the market that decides, not the government.
@@Bryan-dn1nx Canadian oil is actually in high demand. You guys have no clue.
Refineries are screaming for heavy oil from Alberta. Fck, where do you people get your information ?
Quebec already said no to a pipeline. The only pipeline they will accept from Alberta is one that is full of cash. But no Alberta, you cannot export any oil through Quebec.
it's not the oil they're after, Musk wants the lithium cheaper. it is the third largest deposit on earth.
Time to leave the US to itself 🙏🏽
I've been complaining about this for years. Development of other markets should be the major priority. Would you base a business on one customer? Nothing should leave this country in raw form whatsoever. Politicians of all stripes have been selling us out for generations. Much too busy lining their pockets. Has anyone met a politician who's not well off? Especially after having been in office. Somehow their increase in wealth, while serving, vastly outpaces their wages.
No its because the minute they leave they get paid for everything they know as consultants. Ie you leave as immigration minister you get paid huge bucks to consult for the largest immigration firms literally overnight with no application process or resume required..they call you...all of them.
Yes but we should be processing the stuff ourselves not sending the raw stuff to the US & buying it back!
Most of the gas sold in Canada is refined in Canada. The Lower mainland and Vancouver island are the exception.
Husky has refineries in the U.S
The countries Trump has declared a Cold War with need to start encouraging/rewarding their citizens for pulling investments from Wall Street. It's over 40% foreign owned and the S&P 500 has a very high PE ratio. It's a point of vulnerability tied also to the strength of their dollar.
think about what you just said. 40% foreign owned, mostly governments and large investment companies, who's economies are tied at least in part to the performance of Wall Street and the value of the dollar. that is how you crash your own economies. it's not mom and pop with their 50 shares of microsoft constituting that 40%, if they pulled out en masse no one on Wall Street would even notice. it is government retirement accounts and bonds and bank portfolios tied to it. that is cutting off your nose to spite your face.
back to the drawing board.
@@QwestyDaQwest Yes, think about what you just said. Governments can be the first to sell. You don't invest in your enemy. US commits crimes non-stop for 70 years and you want governments to do what exactly aside from opposing that?
@@BoreasCastel so, your "good idea" to stick it to the Americans got thoroughly destroyed as counterproductive and ignorant so you are trying to pivot to the "America is responsible for all the worlds evils" defense, eh?
so the country that came to Europe's defense not once, but twice in world wars, then loaned pretty much the entirety of Europe the money they needed to rebuild their shattered economies, including the countries that fought against them (most of which never got paid back) while offering to trade with them at a massive deficit for 70 years AND fund their defense budgets is the "enemy"?
just say you are a bigoted ideologue that has no idea what they are talking about and call it a day, bud.
Really liked this guy. But he feels super soft on this. Where's that edge and wit used so often when he confronts liberals? Trump insults our sovereignty and threatens to cripple our economy. Apparently because he wants to annex us. And yet Poilievre seems to respond to this almost apologetically with half hearted hints at what we might do? I want a Canadian patriot. Not an American boot-licker.
Sorry, Poilievre would sell Canada out to Trump in a heartbeat. Same as Steven Harper did plunging Canada into a deep, decade long recession that the Liberal government hauled us out of when they took over.
Amazing point
Because he's following a script that he's been given. Annexation by Trump is the way out of these puppet masters. Anyone that doesn't want to be part of the US should leave Canada. This should really have been worked out at the end of the Second World War.
He only did 10000x better than trudeau who went over to literally kiss trump's boots..for me that was worse that anything else he did over his entire tenure!! I couldn't believe he simped so badly...maybe due to recent divorce, that is the only potential excuse, he was lonely.
He’s not soft, it’s Trump insanity that make it feel so.
It's insane that we keep importing gasoline products because refining is cheaper elsewhere. We are dependent on US as the biggest paretner in evertyhing, but we could do something a little to enourmously elevate our oil/gas profits if we kept the process in house.
Do your homework! They are NOT Canadian Companies, try American Companies selling oil and gas that THEY mined in Canada to American Companies.
National gas now pls. We are not forced to sell. They just bring it to their HQ in US at the bigger plant
That will be changing soon if Trump gets his Tariff way. Those corporations will have to pull out.
@@jeanbaptist6255 do what Iceland did, nationalize and tax it at 70% then eliminate taxes. but i wouldn't stop there, i'd go after all non renewable resource extraction, mining. DeBeers diamond mine in northern Ontario got a massively sweat deal from Harper only paying us 25 cents per million dollars of diamonds they pull out of the ground.
He sounds like a MAGA Politician, Trump want's Canada, and attacking your government is seen as a weakness. Trump will eat this guy up for lunch.
he is, he and Harper made these deals. Debeers only pays us 25 cents now because of these traitors.
Read the comment in this thread from @andyanderson3628 . The author knows Little PP's history.
Pipe it out to the east coast and build the infrastructure up interprovincially to sell it to Europe that are cutt off from ruzzian oil gas and LNG
Europe has closer and cheaper suppliers than us mainly the entire Middle East.
@@oldmanlearningguitar446 Yes, but with the Russian embargo, there is les supply. Might actually work!
China and Europe are reducing their oil demand. Building infrastructure to service a shrinking market is a bad idea.
Quebec would never agree to it being piped through their province , even though they get to enjoy the transfer payments as a "have not province" paid mostly by Alberta
The East coast is so corrupt , they want to buy foreign Oil rather than us Canadian oil from ALBERTA
It’s been this way for a long time for several reason. It’s too expensive to build refineries in Canada with all of the environmental reviews, Indian consultations, they’re always looking for a big handout. It’s not about saving “the land”. And licensing costs.
Build refineries and you get my vote.
Improve the CAF, and you get our vote. (BTW, Little PP and his team never responded to our family's request as to whether he would fund the military. We got radio silenced from him when confronted, but in public, Little PP continually tells people what they want to hear and complains about the "other guys "). Sounds similar to the orange felon we all know...
I am not a big fan of PP tbh, but I 1000% agree with this!! We need an INDEPENDENT Canada!!! TRUE, NORTH, STRONG!!!
Great. Then how about the Conservatives, after selling Petro Canada, buy it back so we can do everything everyone here wants us to do? Otherwise, this is all just wishful thinking quite frankly. We don't own any of it!
Canada should charge the US triple.
They cant
@OmarOsman98 Why not?
I would shut off the power to the US too
Need to teach tRump to not threaten Canada.
@OmarOsman98 The second tRump was sworn in I would cut the power.
@@yelleryoung5870 they can't because America doesn't need their oil or gas, we have enough of our own to be independent of Canada
@@bigbird4481 LOL no you don't! we supply 60% of your oil and enough power to blackout half the US if we shut it off. don't lie.
Sell to your cousins...us Australians.
our current liberal govt will not permit that. the EU already asked for canadian energy. our liberal pm said no.
Its hard to sell anything to you guys as you're so far away
Send to EU, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Argentina, India and all other allies. Everyone country is eager to our oil, gas, ore and coal.
What about 🇺🇸😢 ? @@robinm4403
What about us 🇺🇸😢 ? @@robinm4403
It's about time someone pointed this out! We have been subsidizing the USA with oil at margins way lower than the world price for oil. Perhaps if we got paid world prices, we could more easily meet our NATO commitments. WCS (Western Canada price) is $61.67 while WTI (USA) is $73.34. Difference is $11.67 US per barrel. $11.67 * 4300000 barrels per day * 365 days = $18.3 Billion
Another thing not mentioned is the money the USA makes from NATO members selling military equipment. Not like Canada will be building their own jets anymore. Without NATO, the US would lose huge money in military sales.
PP forgot to tell you its unrefined oil, thats why its cheaper USA has to then refine the oil. Pierre should learn the fact and if he wont,you should
Are you gonna teach him the facts? He mentioned more than once that we need rafineries so we do not ship our oil to US to get processed and than we pay for it.. which part of his speech you did not understand?
Canada has leverage.. we must use it..
we actually dont 💀💀💀, expect a deal benefiting america more
It takes 3-5 years on average to build an oil refinery, in that time Trump could destroy the Canadian economy with a snap of his fingers. I promise you this isn’t going to go how you think it is.
@@JacobFrapsI guess you are ignoring our surplus in trade. That means we sell more to you, and commodities you to, um, live. These tariffs would be on lumber, power and oil. Things we have all day long. We can survive without you. The US corporations have been gouging us, and maybe it is high time we stop being so friendly.
@orangebell2323 I love the USA, I support unity between both countries, im disappointed with Canadians hating on America, your my brother
@@JacobFraps don’t listen to him partner, some people just like to find a reason to argue where one doesn’t exist. Best wishes from south of the border. God save Canada and the USA.
Speaking of extremists….
like I say talk is sheep let's see he does something about it and we should have been refining our own oil a long time ago
Trudeau didn't want that.
@@hugolafhugolaf LIAR, he paid for a pipeline, Harper did nothing.
Canada has an export economy. Tariffs hurt the USA way more than us. Correct.
NOPE Exports have tariffs but on them by the country, USA, importing them
Let the Americans enjoy their high prices after tariffs kick in. Donald duck still doesn't know how tariffs work.
@@2jYeti You don't get it, do you? The U.S. doesn't need ANY petroleum products from Canada or anywhere else. The U.S. can be completely self-reliant again when it chooses to be. Drilling and refining can be started back up at a moments notice.
In the meantime...the U.S. should cut off any/all military protection it provides to Canada...as it has done free of charge for the better part of a century. Think Canadian taxes are high now? Wait until Canada has to stop being a parasite and actually spend money on a military. Canada is, and has been since its inception, delinquent on its NATO bill. Time to keep your promises and pay your own way, Canada. Good luck with that.
@@2jYeti it sounds like you don’t know how Tariffs work!
@@2jYetiCanadian economy would shrink 15% overnight according to calculations by the University of Alberta. That's absolutely unprecedented in Canadian history. The country would most likely tumble into chaos and face bankruptcy.

tariff oil and gas as it leaves canada
you can't , tariffs only works at the receiving end. or did you mean the usa should tariff canada oil ?
that what trump wants... but i highly doubt he will do that to energy.
@@subspace666double the selling price
Tariffs only work on imports genius. Do people not know how tariffs work?
We export tax stuff that goes out, tariff stuff that comes in.
This isn’t going to go over well for anyone.
depends how it plays out. i for one hope this happens "the US falls apart and blue states Join Canada and Canada eventually joins the EU along with all the nations between.
I have been saying this my whole life! Why did we shut down the refineries in alberta and around the country? It was the dumbest thing we ever did!
Liberals are trying to make fossil fuels a thing of the past, why do you think they are pushing electric cars
it was uneconomical to upgrade them to meet environmental legislation. Some were too old to be able to upgrade.
Absolutely. Keep talking like this, and maybe I will actually vote, cause currently no party has my support. JT screwed us in the 2nd half, JS is JT with a better suit, and PP wont shut up about the carbon tax.
Pierre stands for canada, not for dictators like trudeau castro
So you’re mad that an opposition leader representing the people, opposes a tax upon his people, which the ruling government continues to increase? And you’re going to give up your vote because he fights against a tax that gives no results? Wow logic.
@@kjw79 It's the fact that he keeps going on and on about it. Axing that tax is not even close to the end of our problems. We need him and his potential ministry to do so much more than this.
@@kjw79 eastern logic....
Justin atleast bought a pipeline, Harper made deals on this and screwed us setting this all up this way. PP is a liar and a hypocrite! he was part of the cabinet when this happened and why he won't get his security clearance so he can be PM which he legally can't be without it! he's a traitor taking money from other governments and foreign companies. IT's what the whole investigation was about.
i hope Canada stops oil and electricity to the US and im from the US we have the resources to make our own plus the jobs will help are own country and why is everything in Canada so dam expensive if Canada doesnt need anyone!

This is the key for everything on our economy.
Here is the problem ..
USA is 60 trillion debt because it waged wars since 20 years in Iraq, Afghanistan, overthrowing governments of Libya, Syria, etc Also backing Israel military and aid in billions ..Now its 60 trillion in debt and the dollar is about to collapse .
Canada exports oil, lumber, aluminum etc etc to USA and subsidized rates. And Canadian economy depends on USA businesses purchasing its goods and services.
The problem is if the 60 trillion dollar debt collapses the US Dollar and if the US dollar collapses this will directly effect canada economy exports anyway..
What USA president Donald trump wants is to share the 60 trillion debt with canada, Greenland, Panama .. to help the US dollar survive by joining Canada with usa 🇺🇸.,
If your dollar crashes, our dollar goes up. We don't need USD. And we certainly don't need your astronomical debt that you've built trying to play world police.
Omg you people are insane.
LOL the USD has been appreciating against every other currency in the world for 3 straight years (2021 to 2024). You're so ignorant it's quite sad. Every other currency will first collapse before it's the USD's turn. You think the US has the most debt-to-GDP ratio? Try Greece, Japan and China.
Canada participated in the 20 year long occupation of Afghanistan.
Its your useless war debt, keep it out of canada
Canada should be a superpower as well.The second biggest country in the world and a massive amount of resources.
Canada, the second largest country in the world in AREA. Most of which is inhabitable.
@tinacampbell8539 Even without including the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and parts of northern Quebec that are less inhabitable, Canada is still larger in landmass than the United States.

Yes vote NDP the only party that doesn't take money from the rich and powerful. they banned it under Jagmeet just like Bernie Sanders.
We should have been doing this before.
Exactly!! Never left ! Ever ever again!!
Which party was it that made this arrangement in the first place? I'll give you a hint it starts with a C, and is currently lead by the man in the video.
The sell price to the US per barrel has been 25_30%. That's significant. Unfortunately to many American ared educated enough to grasp this and are easily lead. With 50% of that country adults literacy at grade five or under it becomes easier to understand why they act as they do. The ignorance is overwhelming and the terrible education may well be at the heart of why they have taken on the culture of mass killings. Why would Canada ever want to be part of that disfunction. The fact that Americans say they live in the greatest county in the world speaks to that incredible ignorance. I say is Trump pulls what's left of the Canadian car manufacturing they would be defaulting on the millions Canada gave those companies, as such seize those factories and invite a business partnership with the Chinese. BYD and Canada could own that future. Process our energy with only Canadian owned and invest in at home corporations. We won't need to export anywhere near what we currently do is we keep those jobs in Canada. For the interm, both the US and Canada is going to go through pain but Canada has the resources to come out of this as a much stronger Country.
If this wasn't written so poorly, I may have given it more credence.
Also natural gas. A mega project is underway in BC that turns gas into a liquid and ships it to China/Asia. Give us time, and we will find other markets for our resources.
Canada only has 30 million people and relies on the US entirely. Then acts like it isn’t just a another state of the US 🤣
Canada had 30 million in 1997
A bit more then that but agreed. I'm under no illusions, we wouldn't exist without you guys, you would exist without us. Our military is probably around 30,000 combat troops... we're literally the 5' 100lb chick running her mouth off to the 6'3 250lb dude about how she's strong and independent.

@@Skindiver986 I guess that makes sense, thank a make believe character for a make believe president.
Canada had the will and capability to produce and make most of the stuff we needed. And that was when we were 10 million people.

Time to grow a pair again.

Better win the trade war or surrender for Liberty to a crazy dictator.
The point is: citizens on both sides have been getting screwed and Trump is willing to pull back the curtain on the scam.
Trump is the scam even Greenland knows that.
forget about the US, lets work with other nations !
Who? Greenland? Or maybe the oceans around Canada. Get real.
Election Now
Why has this turned into US vs Canada? I hope you guys realize this is what our enemies want 😂
Trump gave Canada a choice. He didn’t say he was going to punish Canada for fun, he wanted them to cooperate in the process of securing the border.
The USA should secure their own border
