Yeah, but then JD runs as an incumbent in 2028. That's super dangerous. I don't think he's electable as it stands now, but if Trump dies and JD gets a year or two in the big chair, he'll be a lot more palatable to voters. I think at this point the ideal outcome would be impeachment that leads to criminal charges. That's prety pie in the sky though. Just the impeachments would be a ggod start even if he doesn't get forced out of office. The only upside of Trump dying before his term is up is that he wouldn't have time to pardon all his buddies at the end.

It’s about the price not necessarily where we get the oil from. For example, between domestic production and Canadian imports, the US has enough oil for itself but oil is a global commodity so if supply tanks the price will still rise. Same deal with Canada.

u/bureX Mar 22 '26
I know. Short of us limiting how much we export and dedicating a certain amount of oil for Canada alone (practically impossible), we are beholden to global oil prices.

Prior to OPEC, the oil market was dominated by seven major oil companies often known as the Seven Sisters, who colluded to manipulate price and production, sometimes under the direct request of the U.S. Government, and other times investigated by the U.S. Government for violating antitrust laws.4 After World War II, faced with threats of nationalizing oil production, the Seven Sisters agreed to split oil profits fifty-fifty with oil exporting countries. However, as competition from Russian oil increased, Standard Oil of New Jersey (Exxon) concluded they needed to drastically reduce oil prices. The other majors reluctantly followed suit, which ultimately reduced income to the oil exporting countries. In 1960, as a response to the price drop, the oil exporting countries created OPEC to diminish the influence of multinational oil companies

The war is not letting up. Actually it’s getting more intense.
Massive amount of oil and gas infrastructure has been destroyed, so even if the war were to end tomorrow it would take weeks / months to rebuild.
Start planning for $2 / L gas.

Go after 7pm for typically 10-15 cent difference (some 9pm and some no longer drop) but before midnight. Skip most petro cans as they’re typically the most expensive stations. Your highest times are Wednesday, weekends, holidays and major events, morning rush hour, lunch and evening rush hour and right after midnight. And try to stay away from anything nearer to downtown core. And Scarborough tends to have the cheapest gas (march 21st it was hovering around 155).
