...prices has not led to chronic shortages. Industries, families, whole economies (like that of Japan) have learned to be far less profligate in their use of energy since the price shocks of the 1970s. Fair point. Yet it is foolish to imagine that the end of the era of cheap oil will not have profound impacts on the way the world is ordered.

If the Harper government lasts long enough, past the 2008 presidential elections, he may be able to secure broad national support for some of the initiatives begun tentatively by the Liberals, such as stronger continental security arrangements, strengthening the North American Free Trade Agreement and developing a North American partnership with the U.S. and Mexico.
