Canada continues to sell out its future sending the majority of petrodollar profits south of the border. Is this what we had in mind when subsidizing the petro-chemical industry with our tax-payers’ dollars?

The S&P 500 masks weakness.

As US Conference Board LEI and jobless data show a slowing economy, higher stock valuations are driven by a weaker dollar. Current, average price-to-earnings ratios are 30 versus 15 historically. Investors are simply paying twice as much for the same earnings as before.
The Real Reason the Market Hasn't Crashed

These fuel GDP and jobs in the US.

Deduct Canada’s largest export of oil (over 95 pct south) and the trade imbalance reverses.

The tariff justification that relies on the simplistic understanding of trade imbalances is spurious. There is an imbalance favouring the USA for services that is not factored into official statistics.
