i've been wondering for a while if the canada-saudi spat has something to do with oil production.
it doesn't seem to be playing out yet, but, in the long run, cutting the reliance on arab oil should also help us adopt a better policy on israeli war crimes.
i'd obviously rather get off oil altogether - there was never a good argument for shifting to dirtier domestic oil. but, there are geopolitical benefits to self-reliance, nonetheless.
people may want to ensure they're up to date on their stats.
