My educated guess would be the large majority of our oil is either used at home or exported to the US>. I dont really see us exporting a lot of oil to anyone else. That may be true but it doesn't really address the point of my question. The percentage of American imports that come from Canada is less important for determining American vulnerability to Canada cutting back its oil exports to the US then the % of the world's exports that come from Canada because oil is fungible. Canada may export little or no oil to countries besides the US (I'm not sure if this is true but it doesn't really matter), but many other countries besides Canada do export oil. I doubt such a cutoff would ever happen but I was just analyzing the idea. Tim
