I am all for exploring, developing and selling oil. I am in favor of building refineries to handle
the crude. I am not in favor of shipping one gallon or litre of oil outside the country that is not
refined and priced before it leaves here.
We should not be sending jobs to a foreign nation. Remember America is not our friend, they
are a business partner and we do business with them in an orderly fashion. We expect to be
the benefactors of the development of our resource. Its time to deal with who owns what and
who will benefit from the development.

Exporting jobs? We have to import workers as it is just to get it out of the ground.My boss just called,come back after easter as we have 55 wells to tie in and he said try and find 6 excavator operators and I cant do that.

We need more upgraders not refineries. We have oodles and oodles of heavy crude that is high in sulfur content and only worth around $60 a bbl. Upgraders remove the sulfur and parafin making it a far better grade giving value added turning it into a light crude worth around $100 pre bbl, a very profitable raw sulfur product to export and oodles of jobs which many think are going elsewhere . Huge money is being invested in upgrading right now in Canada and is going to continue.

YEa I keep hearing the same thing about raw log exports. Until it comes down to having something industrial built in their area. Fact is we have killed the goose that laid the golden egg, especially with forestry in BC and much like manufacturing in Ontario. Between ultra high wages for low skill jobs, multiple levels of taxation and expensive permits for everything and overlapping bureaucracies demanding mountains of data for no good reason only a rich fool would invest in any kind of manufacturing in Canada when the unit cost is so much lower just by crossing an imaginary line across the continent.
