I hear you. Perhaps I should rephrase though. How would you get Saskatchewan or Alberta crude from the oilsands let’s say... to a refinery in Montreal owned by Suncor that is already set up and refining Bitumen Products from western Canada? I am up at this time at night because my dogs are out peeing & they elected me as the “Opener of the door!”
It’s already happening but maybe there’s a better way. It’s crazy to think that it cannot be shipped from Western Canada to Eastern Canada because it’s dirty or it’s too dangerous, but it will gladly be accepted arriving by pipeline as long as it doesn’t originate directly from Western Canada but through a cut out in the US coming back into Canada by pipeline?? That somehow makes it acceptable even if it’s only politically acceptable in this convolutedly divided nation?? That too pisses me off. I get it.
LOL - my dogs aren't yet at the age of needing potty in the night. They've learned to hold it due to my working 8 hours overnight. It'll likely change in a few years though with my olders becoming seniors next year 8O
I totally agree with you there, too. Personally I wish it was better/safer/economical to ship by rail. It'd create jobs that way, plus use a system already in place that needs the upgrades and despite pipeline being 'safer', I still don't like it personally. Trains, you know when there's a spill. A pipeline... I just don't trust it.
Keep it all in Canada and sell the leftover to the world is what should be done. Fuk Saudi.
