As oilsands punished, tanker loads of cheap Saudi oil sail into Canadian ports daily
Overall, refiners in Quebec, Ontario, Newfoundland and New Brunswick imported about 650,000 barrels a day from foreign producers in 2015. In addition to Saudi Arabia, the oil came from the United States, Algeria, Angola, Nigeria, because there is insufficient pipeline capacity to import it from Western Canada, which produces far more oil than it needs.
The reversal of Enbridge Inc.’s Line 9, which is finally up and running after much opposition and moves up to 240,000 b/d of Western Canadian oil to Montreal, means oil imports will drop this year — but not likely from Saudi Arabia.
The Irving refinery, Canada’s largest, says on its website it has a long-term supplier partnership with the Saudis. The company is a big supporter of TransCanada Corp.’s proposed Energy East pipeline from Alberta to New Brunswick, but until it’s done, it has a 350,000 b/d refinery to keep in business.
“We source crude oil from all over the world for our refinery in Saint John, N.B.,” said a spokesman for Irving. “Our crude imports come from oil producing regions such as Saudi Arabia, Norway, the USA, and Canada — including Newfoundland and Labrador, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Canadian crude is processed at our refinery, from some of the same producers who would be shipping product via the Energy East pipeline.”
The Saudi imports alone are equivalent to the daily production of a mid-sized producer such as Calgary-based Penn West Exploration Ltd., one of scores of Canadian companies that are struggling to remain solvent after slashing jobs and budgets to survive the Saudi-instigated oil price collapse.
Where is the political outrage over oil imports from rogue nations with inferior environmental records and deplorable behaviours toward women, dissidents and minorities? Where are the beefed up regulatory reviews of Saudi Arabia’s climate change impacts, or their dumping practices? Why is Canada so consumed with scrubbing its oil clean while oil from foreign sources flows into the gasoline tanks of Eastern Canadians free of scrutiny?
As federal and provincial politicians pat themselves on the back for their climate change ‘leadership,’ and pipeline opponents gloat about stalling construction of new Canadian pipelines, tanker-loads of foreign oil are delivered regularly to Eastern Canadian refineries, including increasing volumes from Saudi Arabia.
That’s right. Saudia Arabia, the oil-rich kingdom that is waging a brutal price war to shore up its market share and devastating Canada’s oil and gas sector in the process, dumped an average of 84,017 barrels a day of its cheap oil in New Brunswick’s Irving Oil Ltd. refinery in 2015, according to data compiled by the National Energy Board (NEB). That’s up from 63,046 b/d on average in 2012.

So unless the mythical carbon tax applies to exports it is just a tax and has nothing to do with protecting the environment.
Just f**k off you highly retarded A$$hole! After umpteen years of your incessant bull sh*t you're not fooling anyone any more. You are equally if not more retarded than the other A$$hole!
You're getting the picture! Just for starters when have you ever disagreed with someone in a civil manner without resorting to name calling and put downs? When have you ever said "I disagree with you because..................................."? When have you ever said "that is an angle that I hadn't thought of" You and Caknucklehead are two of a pair..........................A$$HOLES!
Justin has probably set a new record for correct decisions! 662/3% isn't all that bad.
And who ever gave you the f**king idea that you are qualified to decide who are idiots and who aren't? You and Cannucklehead should form a club of two.
The NEB approved the line not Trudeau but I'll stick your jaded reality and ask "will it work"?
Will the 4 AB Liberals and lone gunman Ralph in SK get some new buddies in the House 3 years from now?

When is trudOWE going to impose a tanker ban on the East coast? Or isn't it pristine enough like the West coast.
A while you are at it ban ALL vehicles, after all they consume oil products too and just add to the problem.
No, just tankers.
