The Hormuz Trap: Why Canada's Oil Wealth Is a Lie

Описание: Canada produces nearly 5 million barrels of oil every day — twice what the country consumes. So why are gas prices surging past $1.35 a litre? Why does a global oil crisis hurt an oil superpower? Because Canada does not refine its own crude. Because the $15 billion pipeline that would have made Canada energy-sovereign was killed in 2017. Because Canadian oil has to leave the country, travel through American territory, and come back before it reaches Canadian refineries. The Hormuz Trap exposes the architecture of dependency hiding behind the energy superpower myth.

This video covers: how the Strait of Hormuz closure traps 20 million barrels a day and triggers global price spikes. Why Canada pays crisis prices despite sitting on 170 billion barrels of proven reserves. The refining gap that forces Canada to export raw crude at a discount and buy back finished fuel at a premium. The Energy East pipeline cancellation and what it cost the country. How Enbridge Line 5 runs Canadian oil through Michigan before it reaches Ontario. The central bank trap between crashing the housing market and collapsing the currency. The exchange rate math that turns a $100 barrel into a $154 barrel for Canadians. And why the system is designed to make the wage earner pay every time.
