Canada Strikes Back: How America Got ‘Dumped’ in a $104 Billion Oil Deal
Washington never saw it coming — its trusted northern ally just locked arms with Beijing and New Delhi, and now the price is being paid… right at your neighborhood gas station.

It’s a normal morning in California. You pull into a gas station and suddenly freeze — the price has shot up to $5.25 per gallon. Your first thought:

“What the hell is going on?”

The answer? Far up north.
Canada just quietly shut off a $104 billion oil tap to the U.S., turning its back on Washington and rerouting everything to China and India. No longer the loyal partner helping America in tough times, Canada is now that ex-lover who walked out and signed a fat new deal — hundreds of thousands of barrels per day — with no trade wars, no tariffs, no drama.

11 Million Barrels Gone – And America’s Left Thirsty

Just three weeks after the switch, more than 11.4 million barrels have been pulled from the U.S. supply chain. Refineries from Texas to Louisiana are operating at under 72% capacity — the lowest since the pandemic.
And the result? It’s not just gas prices. Steel, groceries, even a simple tub of yogurt or a bunch of broccoli — everything suddenly feels like it’s fighting your wallet.

Meanwhile, Canada, without flinching, inked a 15-year contract with China and India: 325,000 barrels a day, higher prices, no political strings attached. And thanks to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, they don’t even need to pass through U.S. territory. Nearly 900,000 barrels/day can now flow directly to the Pacific.

What’s Left for the U.S.? Just a Thinner Wallet and Pointed Fingers

Donald Trump is fuming. In a fiery speech, he accused Canada of slapping up to 270% tariffs on American dairy — a slap in the face to U.S. farmers.
But here’s the twist few mention: that tariff only applies after quota limits are exceeded — and the U.S. has never even hit the quota. For three straight years, not a single shipment was taxed at that “sky-high” rate.
True numbers — ripped from context — become fuel for outrage.

And what about Tesla? It got kicked out of Canada’s EV rebate program, and $43 million in tax refunds were frozen. That came just after Trump announced a 25% tariff on Canadian cars.
A symbolic counterstrike — and a cold, clear message:
“Don’t mess with our economy.”

Enter BRICS: When the U.S. Dollar Gets Challenged on Its Own Turf

But here’s the bigger threat: BRICS is rising.
With Cuba, Egypt, the UAE, and Ethiopia joining, the alliance now makes up over 36.7% of global GDP, surpassing the G7.
At the Kazan summit, President Putin unveiled the first BRICS currency prototype — paper-based, gold-backed, blockchain-powered… and not pegged to the U.S. dollar.

Tổng thống Trump: 'Trung Quốc đang hoảng loạn'

The U.S. fired back fast: Trump threatened 150% tariffs on any BRICS nation “even thinking about replacing the dollar.”
But that threat? It barely caused a ripple.

By 2023, nearly 20% of global oil trades weren’t conducted in dollars anymore.
Even Cuba — under U.S. embargo for over 60 years — now walks into a new arena, with capital, opportunities, and a lifeline outside of America’s shadow.

The Big Question: Is the U.S. Still the Center of the World?

From oil to dairy, electric cars to currency — everything is shifting.
And the once-untouchable U.S. dollar is now being tested right at home.

Amid inflation, geopolitical chaos, and the rise of a new trade order, Americans now stand at a crossroads:
Keep using hard power to dominate… or learn to share it in a multipolar world.

“Oil may flow to the highest bidder,
but trust — once lost — is almost impossible to buy back.”
