Well darn maybe we did need EnergyEast and it was the liberals that killed it.

[perfecho]

Listening to an interview yesterday of an Alberta Conservative.....although he didn't support the ND's or the Liberals, his words were something in the line of the Conservatives had 44 years in Alberta and Harper had 10 years as a Federal leader.....and they couldn't get it done.....now that is a man I could vote for.....realistic ......

What I read was Keystone XL and Trans mountain will be enough for awhile. There is less chance Transmountain will get built if Kenney gets in as he will definitely piss BC off with his confrontational style, threats and bluster. More chance with Notley.

Why not build more refinery's in Alberta, create more jobs in Canada?

It seems raw product has to travel to the population to be refined. ....

I agree it should be refined here but it is beyond my way of thinking why it's done the way it is....

This doesn't matter if you are talking oil, durum, wheat etc etc

[chuckChuck]

It usually comes down to economics. There is over capacity in refining and it is too expensive to build refineries. But we had a lot of years to invest in refining capacity. Maybe this should have been a priority over raw exports to the US.

How can money be the problem as for building refinery. Gas up .11/litre today, lets see you oil lovers spin this and put on the NDs

[sofa.king]

If you refine all the oil in Alberta from oil sands it still needs to be shipped by pipeline or rail. Wake the **** up!!!!.

[nicolaas]

No need to build refineries. For decades paying pennies in royalties for every BOE produced, to ship out of country to texas refineries. Maybe the government can use reduced royalties to entice the construction of refineries? oh wait...nevermind.
As long as the millennial generation can afford all those jacked up trucks and white rimmed sunglasses, who cares?

[Oliver88]

You would think the environmentalists, Trudeau, Montreal's bigmouth mayor, NDP would value human life when inflicting their agenda on national policy.

How often do we need 100 to burn to death after a railway accident before the Liberals will be okay with pipelines?

How about in 1 litre ,18.9,205 litre containers.nice clean product easy to clean up if accident, less environmental damage, and as a spin off we could make our own containers out of the plastic, Not an economist but shipping raw product 3000 mi and then shipping refined product back, seems counter productive.
It kind of baffles the mind you as farmers don't expect to recover costs of machinery, land with 1 crop so how come you all jump to the conclusion we can't possibly fund a refinery, all you have to do is jack up the price of gas, like the oil cos did today and wall you have cash to burn.

All fuel used in western canada is refined here so there is no shipping it back 3000 miles. There is lots of gas and diesel shipped from regina south to northern montana so it seems we have plenty of refining capacity.
