5 years since pencil hit paper to what is being built in Regina right now. The next upgrader is already in the works too.

Go read the links. If you go to a gas station and they have no diesel, then they've run out. If it is happening across a large region of North America, then it's a shortage. Seems pretty straightforward...not sure what your problem is.

Isn't that in addition to an existing upgrader. I'm talking about the process
from a need and on open field, to producion of a salable product. Maybe
we're talking about the same thing though.

Like 15 years of paperwork and approvals, and 5 to build the facility?

Nope. Each Upgrader is on it's own. Upgrading is seperate from refining.

I read the links. It mentions one distribution company, Flying J not getting a full supply while diesel is being stockpiled. How are the other distribution companies who are supplied from Husky Lloydminster fairing?

What happened at Scotford to lead to issues at Petro Can in the first place?

Three links there Petros. A prairie wide shortage with no fuel in the tanks, and some trucking companies losing $100,000 in three months as one example in three months due to the shortage.

If it's news to you...then you must have your head in the prairie ground.

You silly guy. It's winter. Diesel is being stockpiled. Do you know why?
