Energy- Add Canadian oil from Alberta's huge bitumen deposits? Canadian natural gas already is in the pipelines to the States, along with oil. Canada sends electric power also, but this seems like an interchange agreement.

PROBLEM- If Canadian products of all kinds aren't sold to Bushland, jobs and income disappear in Canada. China is also making deals with closer Russia and the Middle East, so just how much can Canada depend on trade with China and India?

I dunno- I don't have the trade expertise to analyse the situation, but it seems to me that it is better to deal primarily with people who have the same institutions and customs as we do. There have been arguments in the past and they were settled.
