I think you'd be surprised how little others care what the American president thinks. There's a whole world beyond that lives in 3D too.

Why would MAGA affect Canadian pension investment decisions?

"Our energy products"? He means heavy oil and just heavy oil because LNG is on its way to Asia from BC this summer. There's no demand for heavy oil to support ending the ban. There is no benefit to BC or Canada in risking our best protected land and sea resources.

Of course it won't be good for the country. MAGA cultists control all branches. There are fights like this about what MAGA purity truly means happening everywhere at all levels. This is just the celebrity death version
