You import more oil from Alberta right now than you do Saudi Arabia... Keep on buying!

How much oil is in Alberta's oil sands deposits?

Alberta's three oil sand deposits — Athabasca, Cold Lake, and Peace River — contain resources that could supply Canada's energy needs for more than 475 years, or total world needs for up to 15 years. The production potential of all the oil sand deposits could be as high as 2.5 trillion barrels of bitumen (five times more than the conventional oil reserves in Saudi Arabia). The Athabasca deposit is twice the size of Lake Ontario.

Wouldn't have to worry about environmental impact stuff either, since it's a foreign country. Pillage away.
Excellent idea. Our military is a bit preoccupied just at this moment, but we could take Canada afterwards.
