Are you people seriously discussing this? Canada can't even do anything about us happy slapping them over their softwood, why would they cut off the oil just to spite us? The whole scenario makes little sense.

True thats why nonviolent protest could do you in-- I doubt that your government could give the order to open fire . and I have even more severe doubts that your typical Naional Guard guy could open fireComment

Kent State.
Set the scenario-- The Canadian prime minister is linking arms with Wayne Gretzky and blocking access to the oilsands with 10,000 other people. Perhaps put some uniformed WWII vets in wheelchairs in the front. Every network including numerous European ones have the protest live.You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Anyhooo its all crazily hypothetical
Canada will play the energy and water cards as part of any negotiations about trade. The US will attempt to wield the power of its massive economy and markets. People will posture and maybe some small things will change from time to time but overall free trade makes sense-- Canada knows it and the US knows itYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

The whole scenario is utterly absurd. From Canada embargoing us in the first place, to a US invasion of Canada... it's nuts.

While oil is a fungible product, much of our infrastructure is aiimed at shipping stuff south.

I would welcome them as liberators. Freeing us from Ottawa!I think you lose sight of the fact that none of our people would view you as liberators . What exactly would you do if 10,000 unarmed Canadians-- grandma's, new moms etc with children in tow marched on a facility with the view to shutting off the valves-- with live TV coverage of the whole thing.
Thank goodness!
Please, do it!
