I know a couple of people that worked at Texaco/Esso... the refineries never topped 80% capacity.. NEVER... any lost refining capacity can easily be made up at other refineries.

But you won't hear that because the people holding your nuts so tightly don't want to relinquish that grip. The petroleum industry is probably a bigger liar to the general public than the tabacco industry ever was.

I honestly think the federal government should step in and stop provinces from raping each other. But then again, I'm also considering moving to alberta just because. Alberta has the equivalent of Saudi Arabia in oil reserves, but unlike Saudi Arabia, all that wealth is just staying in the one province. The whole country could benefit, but noooooo.. we come right back to greed.

Oh well.. we had it coming. Everyone who's ever wanted or has driven an SUV in the city has no right to complain ... ever. And there's always the option of moving out of your affordable cookie cutter home in the burbs to a more modest place near your place of business. The fact is that our excess material greed has gotten the better of us, and we deserve it.

I can't wait till the dust settles.
