I think that it is far simpler than that... It's about money, plain and simple.

To about, say, zero countries in the world, it's only about money. Even the fed govt, a conservative govt halted the potash takeover last year. It turned down billions of dollars entering the country. Oh yeah, they need votes from Sask, and not all those voters are millionaires yet. Workin' on it though.

Ok, if you say so.

That said, get the Feds in on forcing Chevron to buy the crude at higher prices to keep the refinery going.

It's just about the money, fools!

So we just passively keep losing refining capacity to other countries, despite having the natural resources.

Should we use Action Plan money from Beijing to build pipelines from AB-SK to supply BBY Chevron instead of it coming from Alaska?
