Canadian Oil

According to a recent newspaper report, most Americans don't know that Canada supplies more oil to the United States than anyone else:

A new poll suggests that only a tiny minority of Americans — four per cent — know that Canada is the largest supplier of crude oil to the United States.

But the survey also suggests that 88 per cent of Americans have a favourable view of Canada and that 41 per cent would be willing to pay even higher gasoline prices to replace oil from unstable regions.

Of course, it'd be fascinating to find out how many Canadians knew that little fact, too.
