And that's where we come in. We have enough for ourselves and lots for our neighbours to the south and even some for South Asia. All we need to do is flush the Turd and set up a new government in Canada and we will be rocking in a few short years.......
A couple of things...

1..back in the 1970s the National Energy Board predicted that Canada had 6 years of oil left and that there was very little that could be exported to the US.  Were they wrong?   YEP!!!

2....SU has access to huge reserves but they need approval to mine the oil and are in the process of doing that.  If there is political resistance to that approval then the oil will just sit there forever and SU and its shareholder will SOL.

The reason I mention these things is that what people think a one point in time about the future most often doesn't work out that way.  In my experience it is best to invest with contingencies in mind.  Nothing is a slam dunk.
