Figure 2.: (B) Sources of average daily crude oil imports into Canada, 2010. In 2010, Canada produced 56.1 percent of the crude oil it used from its own resources, much of it from western Canada. More than half of the crude oil from western Canada was shipped to the United States; western Canada retained most of the rest. However, Canada also imported 43.9 percent of its crude oil, most of which went to its eastern provinces.
