Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's not worried about the prospect of increased oil production from Venezuela challenging Canada's energy exports because Canadian oil is cheaper, cleaner and lower-risk.

Carney made the comments at a press conference in Paris on Tuesday after being asked if he was concerned that U.S. President Donald Trump's play for Venezuelan oil this week increased the need to speed up the construction of another bitumen pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast.

"Canadian oil will be competitive because it is low-risk, clearly low-risk, low cost — the marginal costs, there's been huge progress on getting down the costs, and low carbon, which is what the Pathways project carbon capture will bring," Carney said.

"That makes Canadian oil competitive for the medium and long term," he added.

Eat shit, Carney!

Canada needs to expand its military defenses and allow for an armed populace trained for insurgency. The gun bans of the last 6 needs to be done away with and allow for specialized units that are trained for urban and rural warfare against an occupying force, and who they are is top secret.

I am a licensed Canadian gun owner and I regrettable need to say that it is very possible that your average US cop has a list of Canadians with PAL and RPALs, and that is no good.
