   A lot of people are about to learn that 60% of our crude oil comes from Canada.

     @Leefellerguy That's true, we are the world's refiner - we don't keep the oil and don't rely on Canadian crude at the pump. I doubt that oil will even be touched by tariffs since it isn't being imported for sale

     They're playing Calvinball with the rules anyway. They'd just say that the sale of Canadian oil to the American refinery incurs a tariff.

     @JessTheUnstill @Leefellerguy Since oil companies have political clout I'm going to keep leaning that there is an exemption. I don't see America wanting to block, entirely, our ability to refine the world's oil unless we were really at war. Not that Trump is smart or not stupid.

     @RickiTarr Was under the impression the Canadian pipe lines went to Texas to be shipped out of country?
