Just out of curiosity, do you like what Trump is doing to Mexico, Canada and the USA with these tariffs and NAFTA negotiations?

Canada is America's largest oil supplier. That supply is protected under section 605 of NAFTA.

But hey, Trump wants to tear up NAFTA, has imposed new tariffs on steel and aluminium, and seems to want a trade war.

Be a real shame if Canada and Mexico found other markets for their oil.
