"Tonker. NY to Greenland is five hours. I live two hours from US border as I think 90% of Canadians do".

It might be, you might do and 90% of Canadians might do too.

But what's that got to do with the price of butter? Or oil?

Europe, and the UK, gets oil from the USA, Australia, Africa ect., and that's a lot further than 5 hours travelling.
And New York isn't America.
