So when will the USA go after Canada's oil and other energy supplies?

[Deja Q]

NAFTA. It allows the US to take Canada's oil in the event of an energy crisis.

Well, given how Americans are now prepared to kill so they can fill their gas tanks, I think there's a crisis afoot.

Carter, failings aside, had the decency to set up alternatve energy programs AND be honest enough to tell the people what had to be done.

Didn't help him come election time, not that other factors weren't involved...

8. NAFTA says the US can take Canada's oil????

Who are the morons in Canada that agreed to that????

This is an instance where Canada's superior education system failed them, evidently.
