why don't canurdians build refineries and make their fortune off the backs of the Yankees?
You gonna buy the refined product? This is the really the big issue that needs to be addressed. We are a country that can easily over produce every product we grow, manufacture or harvest. We've got screwed so many times over the years especially by you Americans on exports, particularly in ag exports, many of us are wondering why we keep doing this to ourselves. We are not Mexico or Brazil, for obvious reasons and others not so much so. We often cant do it cheaper that you can, unlike the afore mentioned nations. For starters our climate and small population add enormous costs. So the simple answer is there is no simple answer when you are a country with 40 million people stretched over an area second only to Russia in size. Between the GTA (greater Toronto area) and Vancouver there are only 3 cities over 500 thousand population. Take the same minimum and apply is to the US...
