Canada's Oil Just Got 80% More Expensive — U.S. Refineries Are Scrambling

What happens when the world's largest economy can't easily replace its biggest foreign oil supplier? In this documentary, we explore why U.S. refineries depend so heavily on Canadian heavy crude, how new tariffs could reshape North America's energy market, and why replacing Canadian oil is far more difficult than it sounds. We examine refinery infrastructure, Western Canadian Select (WCS), the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX), Canada's expanding exports to Asia, and the broader economic and geopolitical consequences for both Canada and the United States. Backed by publicly available industry reports, government data, and market research, this video explains how decades of investment, pipelines, and trade have created one of the world's most important energy partnerships—and what could happen if that relationship changes. If you're interested in geopolitics, energy markets, economics, oil prices, and Canada–U.S. relations, this analysis breaks down the facts behind one of today's biggest energy stories.
