OK, so how did you steal it Dinky?
Anyhow, it ended with - Shen, is the total oil capacity of N America enough for self-sufficiency - providing we did not sell any overseas ? Right now N America does both sell and buy

Could have sworn it posted OK, but maybe my memory of seeing it posted is wrong and I goofed up
It wasn't quite as brilliant as I billed it to be anyhow
I'll get back to doing it again later - but in essence I'm a believer in NOT buying anything that gives terror supporting countries a dime

Don't listen to RW, CC. It was me who did it. I super hacked my way into TBC with a Casio calculator and Bill Murray's proton pack but I'll duck, weave, and deflect if anyone accuses me of it.

What happened to my masterful and thorough post supporting the OP in detail right after RW's opener?Quote from: "cc la femme"

Absolutely. It makes me sick that some people in this country would rather see Eastern refineries import oil from places like North Africa than refine Alberta/Saskatchewan crude.

The West wants to use up other peoples supply first. They're hoarding.Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"
I know that $400 million/year Greenpeace corporation would prefer oil from countries where birds wouldn't lay eggs than from Canada.

So what's stopping us from pulling Alberta out of this slump and using our own product?Quote from: "RW"
Greenie rhetoric and governments prepared to go along with it so as to use up everyone else's easy product first and when the pumps eventually run dry, world dominance.
Why eat the treats out of your own pantry when your poorer neighbors are willing to use up theirs and feed you instead? So you feast until your neighbors run out then cut them loose when they've got nothing to offer.
The West is mostly sitting on their petroleum prospects and I believe they will for many more decades to come.

Quite the opposite in fact. OPEC has no interest is losing market share to Canadian oil. They would prefer we bought it from the likes of Nigeria than use our own.

OPEC doesn't care. The Saudis won't reduce output because it messes with Iran's reentry and by default helps Western plans to deliver further economic blows to Russia and non-OPEC oil nations in the crosshairs. It's the soft portion of the coming world war. NATO positioning attempts along Russia's borders, Western media rhetoric, and China's artificial islands underpin this, but that's an entirely different discussion we can leave for later if you like.

OPEC doesn't care about competition?? Are your for real?
Canada has the world's third largest proven reserves and we are one of only a few countries that can continue to ratchet up production over the long term according to the IEA.
Saudis' Real Target May Be Canadian Oil Sands

OPEC but particularly the Saudis don't care about the short to medium term. They can afford to suppress prices and bleed Iran, Russia, and other targets in central America and along Asia. Like I said, they're part of the West's soft war, and they'll benefit over the longer term with or without Western ramp ups. It's the game being played currently. It's really quite ingenious to witness but doesn't bode well for the World's populations when established and emerging powers one day physically confront each other instead of playing grab ass.

Didn't someone in the House of Saud identify oil from Canada as a challenge to that country?

I have been working in the oil and gas business for 29 years. I have never seen Saudi Arabia become more nervous as they now are since Alberta oilsands became viable.
