    im rather fascinated how american companies thought they could ship & sell petroleum at a profit to a country that has done its own production and refining since 1938

    like do they also ship timber to canada and try to force them to buy it? lmao (though Canada's timber is private, so it could very well be being tendered at inflated costs an american firm could undercut, capitalism is the most rational organization of resources)

      canada steals timber off indigenous lands and undercuts the americans. We've had many disputes with the yanks over it because its impossible to compete with theft.
