Deal or No Deal

Of recent Prime Minister Stephen Harper sent a note the Congress on Monday when he indicated he’s dead keen on selling Canadian oil to buyers in Asia.
He didn’t put it in so many words, but he was telling Washington government that if there is a huge problem with the oil reserve within Canada it’s nor is a large deal, as he will begin to send it across the China. It's not typical of Harper to do something as such but I suppose he became very tired of decision makers, which don't make decisions. Even when there is a decision of not to do something at least it does not leave the other in waiting. I am not sure that the congress has a handle on this.  As Prime Minister Harper wrote to Congress, I quote; “You don’t want our oil, no problem. We’ve got lots of markets across the Pacific where we don’t have to beg to get a sale.” It was a rather strong message and apparently it was taken as a rather rude comment made by Harper. Yet with the amount of sitting around and with no decisions made on a pipeline, which was and has been discussed by both sides. Harper did receive some slack but not that much with all considered. This was a “two way street”negotiation.

I am not sure if all that is taken place within the polidrama that there was a need to do it at this time but I suppose that the Prime Minister was tired of the political circus which is going on right now and Canada factually is the best market and lest costly.
Washington government has pause long enough to recognize the attractiveness of the opportunity Canada is offering. Given the state of absurdity that has the U.S. capital in its grip, there’s no telling how long that could take. Right now there seems to be much of a pause within making any sort of decision and I would gather that the Prime Minister was tired of the US not being able to get a grip of the pros and cons economically. I would wager to say that the Prime Minister was tired of waiting for decisions after such long lengthy negotiations.

Congress seems to have the hardest time right now to make any type of decision but you would think that between to neighbor countries that some decisions can be made. Does America still wish to import from Saudi Arabia or Canada. Everything was within place but seemingly the GOP wishes to leave some decision while they take a holiday and I would surmise that Prime Minister Harper could not come to understand how far the GOP of it’s neighbor could not render the decision till after the holidays. This was not a negotiation, which was only made within a few days – it took careful planning from both sides with compromises. For congress to pack it all up leaving a great tax hike. Seemingly there has been an entire hold off while at the cost of Americans. This was a deal with would service both countries – while both had compromised to make the deal come go through and when there is a need for tax cuts I to some extent I can see where the Prime Minister was coming from and did sent the letter that he is prepared to take oil and natural gas else where.

Saudi Arabia I guess is where America shall continue to spend billions of dollars in a time in which you would think that at least one decision could be made before the congress is taking it’s time off for the Christmas holidays. To some extend the feds within Canada are tired and it very well could happen. I can’t say I can blame Harper for his letter.

Yet, I think that when one looks deep into all that placed into this you would think that a few decisions could be made with some valid economic opportunities.

Lets see what happens but you would think that congress could make some decisions on behalf of America. And this is not a win win for Canada, it's win for both countries. Canada holds the 2nd largest reserve to Saudi Arabia and America shall continue to pay a hefty price for imported natural gas and oil from from SA.
