    We should keep the oil where it is until it is worth even more money, then we should keep some of those jobs for ourselves since the Americans don't seem to want them.

    Not overly stoked about any business relations with China with their lack of morals and respect for human rights. With all their new found success and money they should take better care of their people.

    One thing that we here in the US of A need to realize is that, even if/when Keystone becomes a full reality, it's not going to lower our gas prices one damn nickel. That's not what it's about. It has absolutely dick to do with what the mediatards say about some BS 'energy independence' horseshat. No, it's about our energy overlords taking advantage of a fresh resource. Yes, it will create a handful of new construction jobs, while it's being built, but that's it. TPTB don't give a damn where the oil comes from--just that they're the ones who control it.

    I do sincerely apologize to our northern friends for the thread hijack, but just had to lay comment when I saw this was the topic du jour (that last part is so the FC's can understand me).

    What are you complaining about. Gas is cheaper in the US than it is in Canada where it comes from!

    Never said it wasn't. Just saying that this deal is being sold to us as something that it isn't.

    Yeah, if they run their tankers like their drywall manufacturing, and children's toys, and pet food...ouch. They give fuck all about safety.

    That is solely due to the taxes applied. Gas prices are fairly universal, the only difference is the taxes applied. You can see that here in the states when you travel from state to state.

    This.

    Unknown to most of the head in the sand Americans, we export more oil than we import.
