How much do you think it would cost to upgrade the Irving refinery so that it would handle Alberta’s oil? Or do you think the Saudi oil and Alberta oil are pretty much interchangeable in the refinement process?

In the year 2000, a $1.5 billion upgrade was completed to the Irving Plant so it is ready to refine Alberta Crude. So your point is mute like most of your silly posts.

Edward Kallic, of Ziff Energy Group in Calgary, said the demand to refine the oil is there, but a pipeline out east would not be the first option.

"I wouldn't think that building a big line into the east coast is going to be economically viable," he said.

Thanks for helping prove my point

How does that prove your point.. remember that was written in 2012 when they were trying to push Keystone, and then Trans Mountain Pipeline.

Alberta Oil would replace the need to import Saudi Oil.

You claim to live in Alberta, but you favour importing Saudi Oil over Alberta Oil. (shaking head)

With what? How big of a line? 48" may not be viable a 24" may be right to supply Irving though, a 36" to supply Irving and the excess to a loading terminal might be perfect.

In the uk they drive on the left, in Canada we drive on what's left


Too true, Boomer. That photo could come from anywhere in Canada including right here in my area where the potholes are so big they are breaking axles and the broken pavement is slashing the soft rubber winter tires we are required to keep on our vehicles until the end of April.

Vernon, B.C.
could you give it a rest on the actual anniversary of the crash?

there are hundreds of other threads to carry on about your mutual displeasure.


Time to put this bull shit to rest once and for all. For me and probably most normal people, what happened at Tisdale was a terrible accident that has left damage that can never be repaired or replaced and is a tragedy of epic proportions that all of us will feel for years to come. That's the extent of the situation. Because someone put "Humboldt Broncos" as title to a thread possibly with the intent of commenting on the accident or adding some news does not make it a National Shrine. This is the sort of thing where there is a big divide between emotions and reasoning. Our lives still carry on in a normal fashion and we shouldn't have to curb our speech because a title is connected to an event. Time for folks to grow up. I for one am not disrespecting anyone. And for Christ sakes if you are going to mark an anniversary let's do it on the day.
