Mitt Romney's new energy independence platform for the USA can be boiled down to two words: "Drain Canada".
The exact quote from New Mexico was, "Canada has oil sands. We're going to take advantage of those, and build that Keystone pipeline and work with Canada to make sure we have advantage of their great energy sources."

Romney said, ""I will set a national goal of ... North American energy independence by 2020."
Simply put. Of course it HAS to be a "North American energy independence by 2020" plan. Without the "North" there would be NO PLAN.
Canada isn't just a natural resource mine for a southern neighbor unable to budget its energy properly. Obama called it. This...is an irresponsible plan.
