Rather than putting tariffs on Canadian oil or slogging through a costly trade war, Ezra Levant explains why President Trump should make a 50-year, $13 trillion deal to buy Alberta's oilsands.
Deal of the Century: The America First Plan for Canada’s Oil Sands
What would an America First strategy for Canada-U.S. trade look like? And is there room for a Trump-style mega-deal — even bigger than Greenland?
Ezra Levant is the best-selling author of Ethical Oil: The Case for Canada’s Oil Sands, which made the liberal case that the oil sands are the fair trade coffee of the industry. In Deal of the Century, Levant looks at Canada-U.S. trade through an America First lens and comes to the compelling conclusion that, far from putting tariffs on Canadian oil, Trump should ink a 50-year, $13 trillion deal to buy all 170 billion barrels of it, shutting out China and giving Canada the means to pay for a rebuilt military.
And as for yanking Trudeau’s chain, Levant has a provocative suggestion for how Trump can do that without hurting America’s economic interests.

Read an Excerpt from "Deal of the Century"
Introduction: A Letter to President Donald J. Trump
Dear President Trump,
You know about the Canadian oil sands, the immensely rich deposit of oil sitting just a few hours from the U.S. border.
You’ll recall you’ve talked in the past about how good they can be for America.
A few days before you became president in 2016 as you were preparing to approve the Keystone XL pipeline — which would have delivered nearly a million additional barrels of Canadian oil sands oil a day to the U.S. — you said you were “totally for it.” You said building the Keystone XL pipeline would mean “a lot of jobs” for Americans. You said, “I like a lot of oil flow.”
Here's something else you should know about the oil sands. They’re actually the North American oil sands. They might be physically located in Canada, but they’re just as much a part of America. The companies that operate in Alberta’s oil sands are either U.S. companies outright or they’re Canadian companies that have significant American ownership.
