As a Canadian, I think this is valuable information ... because maybe we're next ??!!Phillips says that the knowledge on the part of Bush and his people of peak oil having arrived (even if they're not publicly admitting it), led to the invasion of Iraq.
(quoting Phillips, US oil imports from Iraq=481K kbarrels/day, oil imports from Canada=1,853 barrels/day .. plus a whole pile of natural gas and hydroelectricity).
Luckily Phillips lists Canada as the only "stable and reliable supplier". But then we do have some other trade disputes (softwood lumber, salmon etc.) .. not sure if these would justify invasion though. Hope not.
