I've got something to say.
The engines on an oil rig needed many more oil changes because of time of use. Available was a service which sucked the old oil up through the dipstick tube. The oil filters were also mounted at about shin level on the side of the engine.

Cliff, that's not "car talk". It's engine stuff, maybe oil stuff but, not car talk.
So, let'r Rip.

Seems to be a fair amount of lack of knowledge here.
With regards to oil - several refineries in the US are configured to process Canadian heavy crude. The oil that the US produces flows more like water. And since light oil is usually much purer when it comes out of the ground, it’s very different to refine. You don’t need all the clever technologies they have in American refineries. American refineries simply aren’t equipped to deal with oils with an API gravity lighter than 30 (which your shale oil is). So sure the US "could" begin to refit its refineries so they’re compatible with domestic shale oil. But up until now no-one thought that was worth doing because a) it’s very expensive b) it would take a long time and c) since the US industry makes comparatively more money from importing comparatively cheap oil (the heavy stuff sells for less) and selling their expensive, light oil overseas.
edit to add: remember it was Trump that also pushed to have the Keystone XL pipeline built (permits approved in 2019) to bring all that nasty not needed Canadian oil during his first term, until Biden canceled it in 2021...

Can't argue with you about much of that and won't. I'm simply not qualified.
But the American people want secure borders and if there's a price to pay, they sent a mandate to Washington DC.
Should there be a shortage of oil best for refining, there are always other options/sources available. I sincerely hope tariffs don't have to be employed but I don't have a vote in that and I want secure borders. If, there's a price to pay, so be it. There's little doubt that more terrorist cells made it into the US under Biden.
There's also no doubt which countries will pay a higher price.

Hell, I also want secure borders. We put up with a lot of crap during emperor Trudeau's term in office with all the illegals coming here because he "opened" the borders to everyone - only for them to come a suck on the Canadian tit and taking money away that could be used to help Canadians. Only now are the Libtards saying that they made a mistake and now want to limit immigration - but I suspect this is just trying to save their jobs on the upcoming election....[This message has been edited by Mickey_Moose (edited 02-05-2025).]

While I have read some about Canada's immigration policies, I won't pretend to be an expert. Securing both countries borders would be an improvement for all concerned (except for Cartels and those supporting human and drug trafficking. It's truly a shame it took so much to get this started. I don't agree with everything DJT says or puts out as policy but, securing our borders is one of the biggest reasons he won. The USA, Mexico and Canada will be better off with a controlled/secured border. If, Canada or Mexico wants to continue their past immigration policies, so be it, just keep those immigrants from illegally crossing our shared borders.
