I originally wrote a large entry regarding the recent Canada-China diplomatic woes….

At the risk of oversimplifying, I’ve just decided to trim it down.

We have the oil sands, you do not. Welcome to Canada and please take a number behind the rest of the world.

I wished we started to realize our position as a provider of the worlds’ most valued and sought after resource. As much as I hate petroleum products, if there is a future method with which to extend Canadian influence in regards to democracy, freedom and human rights, it’s with a barrel of black.

*ego alert* I’m now ranked as the #1 Bryan Crosby on Google.ca 😛
