Why Canada Buys Its Own Oil Back From The US (At A 300% Markup)

Описание: Canada sits on the 3rd largest oil reserves in the world, yet Canadians are paying record prices at the pump. Why? Because of a structural economic trap that forces Canada to sell its crude oil to the US at a massive discount, only to buy it back as gasoline at a 300% markup.
It sounds like a bad joke, but it is the reality of the Canadian economy. While politicians talk about "Energy Superpower" status, the reality on the ground is that of a resource colony. We dig it up, we ship it south, and we pay the price.
In this video, we expose the "Energy Trap"—a system designed to keep Canadian oil cheap for American refineries while Canadian citizens pay the premium. This isn't just market economics; it is a heist.
We investigate:
• The "WCS Discount": The hidden mechanism that costs the Canadian economy $19 billion every year.
• The Pipeline Siege: How blocking pipelines to Europe and Asia handed the US a monopoly on Canadian oil.
• The Refining Crisis: Why a G7 nation has fewer refineries than it did 40 years ago.
• The "Staples Trap": How Canada remains a "hewer of wood and drawer of water" in the 21st century.
The system isn't broken. It's fixed. And it's time to understand who is winning and who is losing.
