Don't forget
at today's WCS price and the exchange rate we're seeing ~$90/brl (CDN) for our heavy crude, that's a good enough margin to start kicking out a base divi.. come on MEG give us a little sugar too.. ;-)

Dividend not likely in 2023 - they have to hit their debt target of $600 million first - looking at year end 2023 if we have $100 oil or year end 2024 at $80 oil this is all in the corporate presentation up until that point its a 50/50 split on debt repayment and share buybacks patience will be rewarded.......

They will miss their debt target due to the acquisition of ATH this year (just a hunch at this point).

Meg is on record saying if they did an expansion move, it would be on their already approved Surmont asset which is more far attractive than ATH.

Agreed, no divi. 25M shares purchased on last NCIB. Keep buying those shares to max allowed. Share buybacks + debt reduction + plus higher price of OIL, will get the stock price much higher.

Since buybacks start being taxed in 2024, would it not be sensible to maximize those this year?

It is a consideration, but as the tax is only 2% it won't be a major one. Also, it was announced as to be the same as the US tax, which is now 1%, so it might end up being less than 2% when implemented. End of the day for most shareholders, after a certain income point, buybacks will still be more tax efficient than dividends.
