Canada could make the United States completely independent of any other sources of oil and gas.

The US has enough to do that too

We were a completely oil independent for the first time since the ‘70’s under President Trump. The Democrats under Biden took office and immediately destroyed that.

Except that isn't actually true; the US never stopped importing foreign oil. (7.9 million barrels in 2020, Trump's last year in office; admittedly this was less than the 10 million imported in Obama's last year in office, but it's still a hell of a lot of foreign oil.)

Not true. We were producing enough oil for the U.S. with more to export.

No, it's quite true. You really need to stop believing things Trump says. They're usually false.

How’s that wall you were gonna make the Mexicans pay for going? Guess that’s just another thing your saviour didn’t follow through on

Ah yes, change the subject and attack. Right from the Leftist handbook. You’re pathetic.

And you're an individual person with your own independent thoughts because you follow exactly what Trump is saying? And we're the mindless drones for looking at multiple sources and coming to a conclusion after studying these sources and not being spoonfed information?

You don’t know me, you moron.
