Obama pisses off Canada Oil sands producers

[ILOVEDNY]

Big-city U. S. mayors and presidential hopeful Barack Obama, who joined the parade this week of ill-informed, U. S. anti-oil sands policies, should be careful what they wish for.

While the aim is undoubtedly to pander to the electorate in an election year charged with oil and climate-change debate, what they are stoking is an increasingly angry Canadian energy industry that is seriously looking at non-U. S. markets for its oil.

Here's what Rick George, chief executive of Suncor Energy Inc., Canada's largest single oil sands producer, said this week, reflecting rising frustration with the wave of American anti-oil sands policies:

"We are down to very limited amounts of spare capacity," he said. "Mexico is in very steep decline. The North Sea is in decline. Venezuela is likely to slip from here. There are problems in *****ia, Russia. The world will absorb this oil one way or the other. If the U. S. doesn't take it, then we will develop other markets."http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/...html?id=611010

As soon as the Loonie becomes worth something, the Canadians think their crap doesn't stink.

Maybe we should cut 'em off from the Outlet Mall and the Galleria. That'll teach 'em. Better yet, let 'em shop here, but make 'em take their stinkin' old clothes back with 'em.

I'm sure he was giving his unbiased opinion.

So, in Canada the oil executives speak for their country too.

They're learning from the masters.
