I went to school. I can count too. The United States was officially out of recession in 1938. It was a depression, not a recession, and we did not come out of it until 1941: "America's Great Depression is regarded as having begun in 1929 with the Stock Market crash, and ended in 1941 with America's entry into World War II. However, to fully understand the Great Depression, one must look at it in context of events that happened before and after those dates. For that reason, the timeline below includes events many decades before and after the Great Depression itself." amatecon.com WW2 began in 1939. The Russians entered World War 2 in 1941. Once again, how much military material did the Soviets actually purchase (with money) from the United States? I don't care. My point was that we sold military equipment to the Europeans and that helped us get out of the depression. Whether the Russians were one of them or not is immaterial to the discussion. And you are being deceptive. Yes, most of Canada's tar sands are deeper than 400M, but those aren't counted in Canada's current recoverable barrels of oil (of 170 billion barrels). Further, while the plains of Canada are cold (very cold) during the winter, Not a square inch of Alberta is above the Artic Circle! Currently a third of Canada's oil production is coming from tar sands. While Canada may be considered a marginal producer of petroleum, they typically import about 1.5 million barrels of oil per day to the United States (often placing Canada in the top three oil importers into America). So they aren't marginal to the United States. What are you, nuts? I quoted from the same article you provided in your post. The article clearly states that the oil is not that great and Canada at best will be a marginal producer. Frankly, I don't have time to waste educating you.
