Not native, but I'm sure you could get some growing, and then take my advice.

Maybe you'd be so kind as to quote where I argued that we hadn't?

Well, the fact is that we already import three times more oil from Canada than Saudi Arabia.
The dollar petrodollar was a valued commodity because of American stability, not because the oil came from this or that country.

The U.S had destroyed the world when it replaced gold with Oil, I'm inclined to say Nixon, but nobody fixed what he did, right ?
The world wouldn't fall. There would be an economic crisis, perhaps, but the other oil producers -- Russia, Canada, Indonesia, Nigeria, Venezuela, and others -- would rake in a fortune at the higher prices. On the other hand, if -- make that when -- the Middle East runs dry, you will see Saudi Arabia slide into irrelevance and probably revolution. I, for one, won't shed a tear.

What's even sadder is watching someone who obviously has a very weak command of the facts prognosticate as if he were an expert.

You actually don't know how I think; you're making an unjustified assumption based on the fact that I don't agree with you.

Can you understand what it means, to cancel gold as an exchange for the currency, and replace it with oil ?
The dollar is actually a fiat currency. Look it up. I'll wait.

I don't know you very well so I don't impute attitudes to you. I'd appreciate it if you returned the favor.

Nothing serious replaced fossil fuel, and saying Canada will replace what countries like Saudi Arabia used to produce, is just ignorant and insulting to our brains.
Read the stats for yourself in the link I provided above.

Do you live in America? Do you live in a capitalist nation? When's the last time a major invention came out of the Middle East? Do you understand the concept of market forces?
