Canada, The US, and Oil – An Increasingly Bizarre Relationship

The issue is back again. This time a trio of Canadian research organizations has released a harsh report entitled Fuelling Fortress America , that calls into question the basis of Canada ’s energy relationship with the US.

The story goes back to the 1980s when the Mulroney government dismantled Canada ’s National Energy Policy by stripping regulatory powers from its National Energy Board, allowing US oil companies to invest in Canada , and removing a “vital supply” policy that required the country to have a 25 year reserve of oil and gas available before exports were allowed.
