Consider MT consequences of a Trump tariff on Canadian crude.
WCSB Canadian crude has long been, and still is, the primary feedstock pumped into the 3 big MT petro refineries.
That heavy, high carbon crude, makes into road asphalt, gasoline, and diesel fuels.

Yes the country the Orange turd wants to impose 25% tariffs on this.
Then he is going to bring gas under $2/gallon 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great talking with Keith Miller at Brite Winter in Collinwood. 50 years of student radio, 40 years of him hosting “Not What You Think (Whatever)” on WCSB. Psychedelic, progressive, the deep cuts. Born Cleveland, raised Brunswick, lives Tremont. Radio is community. Thanks, Keith.
