Good idea, we already share a border with Denmark Hans Island, claimed by Denmark and by Canada, So we did what adults do and split it down the middle

Trudeau had resigned and won't run in the upcoming election. Poilievre will be the next Prime Minister and that has been in the wind for the last couple of years, nothing to do with the US (I'll be voting for him) It's kind of funny because we Canadian are pretty laid back and we do a lot of squabbling amongst ourselves but this latest effort has united the country 100% https://x.com/SunGarrioch/status/1885844148563099971?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1885844148563099971|twgr^aec444ad9850a40a68284186e9487de2f48d5952|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ctvnews.ca%2Fottawa%2Farticle%2Fhockey-fans-boo-us-national-anthem-at-ottawa-senators-game-after-trump-imposes-tariffs%2F

Refineries are built with fire in mind, fires in the processing area are quite common, pipes wear out rupture, fire. That's why you see the oil tanks distributed quite far apart with earth berms around them, it's to contain the oil in the event of a leak and limit the damage to one tank, you can see this in some of the arial photos Small fires happen frequently and are containable, Large one like whats happening are catastrophic What is replaced after a fire depends on the damage incurred but your going to have to clear out all the broked, destroyed piping and replace it, it can't be reused You need qualified welders, high grade steel, Valves, fittings, and much more, you can't go to the hardware store and buy equipment I worked in the Soviet Union in the mid 80's and we brought everything with us from Canada. My company did work on the valve setting for the start of the Nordstream pipeline, everything we worked on installing came from Germany Every refinery is different and piping and controls systems are built for that refinery, Valves, fittings, pipe are standard, but the layout of the process area is unique to every refinery The control room is the brains of the refinery and it is also purpose built to each refinery. Instrimitation is one of the most complicated jobs in the oilfield, it's hard to get good people in the West to do this I did a job in Australia where the electrical crew messed up some connections and basically fried the control systems. 9 months to build a replacement They have been targeting the cracking towers. I live in Edmonton which produces the components for the oil sands, and the Western Canadian oil patch I could get ahold of Dacro Industries and order a cracking tower to be built and it would take more than a year to complete And we have all the people, material, techniques to start tomorrow Russia does not. From my experience I would put a missile into the control room and the refinery is dead, but they can be quite small and in out of the way places, not easy to target, so they are using the brute force approach

Yes, if Canada cooperates. Ah yes that powerhouse Fentanyl exporter, Canada 43 pounds in a year, OMG the excited states of america will be ruined.

A lot of US refineries are only set up to process heavier crude that comes from Canada and Venezuela, You can change a refinery to process different oil if you have several years and billions of dollars to do so. US oil is mostly of the lighter grade, some of that is refined in the US for their own use but they rely on our heavy crude as it's bought at a discount because it requires more processing A lot goes for export.Some of it back to Canada The oil and gas industry in North America is setup to transfer product back and forth Heavy crude is exported from Vancouver to Washington state and gasoline is sent back to the lower mainland The oil business lives on exporting and importing, Even Saudi imports refined products

These tariffs on oil are going to be 2 weeks away until they get forgotten about. Some one smarter than him (everyone) is realising that the Canadian/American oil/gas system is far to intertwined to separate. How much of U.S. oil is imported from Canada? Canada and Mexico supplied more than 71% of U.S. crude oil imports, with nearly 60% of U.S. crude oil imports from Canada alone.Jan 22, 2025 Go ahead and tariff your oil imports einstein, that'll make eggs cheaper It's the same with the electrical grid, it's not Canadian or american its North American wide. When the northridge earthquake hit in LA years ago we had a power bump in Edmonton, approx. 4,000 kms north.

This is how they cripple the invaders, keep hammering away at the oil infrastructure Sanctions are slow and need everyone to co-operate. Blowing up the refinery's and pipelines has an instant effect

Not a one way suicide drone, Pipeline block valve bombed by drone 25km from the front and returns to base The Druzhba pipeline is one of the largest in the world—a critical node in the infrastructure for Russia’s most lucrative industry.

5% of the russian refining capacity taken in 1 evening. And that's capacity that the russians can't replace or fix, they don't know how. Why aren't there air defense systems around a refinery, but they have them around dear leaders dachu

1961 Pontiac for me. Was the 3rd of 3 boys in the family and I got it handed down to me. Straight six that burned a quart of oil ever 50 miles or so. I used straight 40w from the farm tractors barrel It smoked like a wildfire but got me off the school bus and I had a car in high school
