I have the same sentiment, but what blew my mind today was hearing the President in a soundbite saying it would help Canada and the oil would not stay in the United States as if Canada was a geopolitical competitor.

My mind then wandered to the billions we spend defending Saudi and the other monarchies in the Persian Gulf and all the oil that ends up going to Japan, China, India and Europe.

One of the stupidest argument to be made. Like he doesn't want us to be part of the supply chain. Much of it would be refined along the gulf coast unless there is just no capacity for it. We refine product today that we ship overseas. Is he suggesting we stop all trade of products manufactured here?
