Now here is a new twist that should be considered. Its well documented that enviro groups here are well funded by US interests but was that done on purpose for other reasons? And reasons that are not entirely wrong.
Think about it. Canada has been cozying up to china for a while and wants to sell oil to them. US is trying to neuter their rise to power. Now a carrier battle group sits in the ME at the Strait where millions of bbls of oil flow daily mostly to SE Asia. China is more dependent on ME oil than the US has ever been.
Maybe the strategy was to bottleneck ME oil and suffocate china when the time came and the US couldn't have little old oblivious Canada stumbling around selling them crude at the same time. Maybe US wants Canadian crude backing it in case a larger global spat breaks out. Venezuela is out of the market now too. Guess there is Russian crude.
Maybe there are global moves behind the scenes and the answer is more complicated. Trump put clauses in the new NAFTA to restrict our dealings with China.
