Operating year-round with road, rail and pipeline connections, the facility runs a heavy crude feedstock, with the resulting light end products composed of tops, heavy distillate, light distillate and CVGO, while heavy end products include roofing flux and road asphalt. The current Moose Jaw Expansion Project is expected to increase throughput capacity by approximately 25% to between 19,500 and 22,000 barrels of throughput per day.
Why can't we live in caves to the ripe old age of 30?
Why do we have to accept government services?
Why can't I have everything those that work and pay taxes have?

Jacinda Ardern Says Economic Growth Is Pointless If People Aren't Thriving
New Zealand’s new well-being budget focuses on mental health and poverty reduction.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern criticized the tendency among countries to measure success by economic growth and gross domestic product at the 2019 Goalkeepers event on Wednesday, hosted by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Ardern said that governments should instead focus on the general welfare of citizens and make investments in areas that unlock human potential. She pointed to New Zealand's new well-being budget that seeks to expand mental health services, reduce child poverty and homelessness, promote Indigenous rights, fight climate change, and expand opportunities.
"Economic growth accompanied by worsening social outcomes is not success," Ardern said. "It is failure."
She said the global obsession with economic growth as the ultimate measure of success intensified in the 1980s, when countries around the world began to cut social safety nets and promote privatization. As a result, inequality began to soar, with some people becoming spectacularly wealthy while others struggled to escape poverty.
Ardern has become a champion of changing this framework. She advocates for a new paradigm of success that uses the United Nations' Global Goals as its guiding set of principles.
She said every policy pursued by a government should improve the human welfare of all people in a society.
In New Zealand, that involves the Indigenous Maori people, who have historically faced widespread discrimination and social exclusion. Since taking office, Ardern has struggled to better include Maori voices in decision-making processes.
The prime minister has also emphasized the link between human well-being and the environment, and has vowed to phase out fossil fuel subsidies to combat climate change.
"There is no point in subsidizing the climate change we seek to [fight]," she said.
