We want to bring in raw material, and export finished product, Oil refining is one of the few manufacturing
sectors the US still has.
We already have refineries and expertise that can handle the heavy crude, Canada did not.
Don't knock private enterprise profit too much, it is where all the money in this country comes from.
The west coast pipeline, was just political posturing, I do not think the Canadians would ever
accept a pipeline through Banff or Jasper.
An we should take heed of that and not accept a pipeline through our sensitive aquifers either. Leave that tar in the ground for our great grandchildren, they will deal with it much more efficiently than we ever could.
