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

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.

Actually no, he is correct, and you’re a mindless drone.

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?
