> if Canada were to pull the plug on sending the US oil- even for a week- states like MT, ID, WY, UT, ND, SD, NE, OK, MO, IA, MN, WI, IL, MI, IN, OH, KY, and TN would nearly immediately see huge problems.
> most people in the Midwest have heard of BP's refinery in Whiting, Indiana. The largest in the region, 440,000bpd of capacity. When it goes down, it's often mentioned. Do most know ~85% of Whiting's feedstock is Canadian oil? just imagine if Canada pulled the plug.
