96% of Canada’s oil exports already go to the US. Their increase in production probably just going to make up the difference of Russian oil not being imported to US anymore. 

I’m all for more production, pump baby pump- should help cool world oil market and gas prices.

Canada to up energy exports in 2022 to boost global supply (yahoo.com)

"We have determined the Canadian industry has the pipeline and production capacity to incrementally increase oil and gas exports in 2022 by up to 300,000 barrels per day," Wilkinson said at a press conference at the International Energy Agency's (IEA) meeting of energy ministers in Paris on Thursday. "We will be working with partners to bring fresh supply to the market to help address supply shortages."
Canada is the world's fourth-largest oil producer, and holds the third-largest oil reserves. Wilkinson says a number of Canadian oil and gas producers had planned to increase production later this year, and are now looking to accelerate those efforts.
Canada currently exports around four million bbl/d of oil to the United States, a small portion of which is sent overseas. Wilkinson says the 300,000 barrels per day increase, comprising 200,000 bbl/d of oil and up to 100,000 BOE/d of natural gas, is expected to be achieved by the end of 2022.


So, if it all goes to the US, they go from 4 million BPD to 4.2 million BPD of "oil" (bitumen probably).  US production likely will go up more than that on its own.  The US is expected to produce at record levels in 2023, more than in 2019.  We use an astonishing amount of oil each day.  Every little bit helps, a little bit.  If the below comes to pass, I expect the Administration to point to it as an indication of their success and greatness (as usual).

I filled up  yesterday at Costco with premium for $4.06, regular was $3.73.

Do you think it true that Ukrainian forces are retaking ground from the Russians?  Sure, it's possible to some small extent, I wonder if this is significant, or a coming trend.  The Russians must be "digging in" to some extent, going on the defensive in situ, making it tough to regain ground.  But they could be so demoralized they fade away if attacked.

Mariupol may end up being the key to all this.  I'm speculating (again) that the Russians want it badly, and once they take that area will agree to a cease fire and let Kyiv be.

  • Moldova has taken in about one refugee for every 25 of its citizens. This Times video looks at the situation there — and allows you to hear Anna Sevidova tell her own story.
  • “The best that humanity has to offer”: A Kyiv Independent journalist spent a day with volunteers who deliver food, rescue pets and evacuate people from nearby war zones.

  • For anybody who wants to make a donation to help Ukrainian refugees, there are many worthy options (but watch out for scams). One option recommended by this Times Opinion guide is Mercy Corps, which is supporting local organizations in Poland, Romania and Ukraine. Another option is World Central Kitchen, founded by the chef José Andrés.

I watched Biden's presser after the emergency NATO meeting.  He was doing fine until the last impromptu question.  Saying he never thought sanctions would deter Russia was a bit mystifying since that's all his administration said for weeks on end.  Also, his comment that they would respond in kind to a chemical attack by Russia was interesting since the US or NATO have no chemical weapons.

This is precisely why the word "nazi" is still so heavily loaded over there.  And now Russia is viewed across the entire continent as the new nazis, and dickface putin is the new Hitler. They're not about to let Poland happen again. 
Hope you are right 94 but when Hitler then Stalin took their turns none of the belligerents had A-Bombs. If things go south for Vlad moving forward does he have enough of a conscience to abdicate or commit hari-kari? If not he may just think screw it and attempt taking everyone with him. He has that look -  Then we must hope/pray even his allies say enough

PS - just put Joey in a high chair and a bib on him already enough of this charade

US reportedly has destroyed around 96% of it's chemical weapons cache. the rest is scheduled to be destroyed by end of 2023.

chemical weapons shouldn't really concern anyone here. what we all should be sh**ting our pants over is the prospect of nuclear war.
