He just wants to vacation and golf at our expense. He won't do anything to benefit the masses when his goal is to destroy capitalism and redistribute the wealth so we all are the same. Intelligent hard working people that actually produce wealth for him to give to the non producers will just give him the bird and quit. A day will come when we start over much as our founders did. Read your history and you will see 1/3 were revolutionary's, 1/3 Loyalist and 1/3 who could care less.

Some people suggest refining the oil in Canada for export. It might be a good idea in theory, but it’s not really practical. Once refined, there will be over 20 products out of it. Are we going to build 20 plus pipelines or send them by trucks to the US and how is it shipped overseas? At 900,000 barrels a day, that’s over 4,000 truck loads a day.
