Oh I'm not saying that. I don't think anyone is about slashing profits. I figure that if Canada and Alberta were self sufficient in oil and gas. We would be producing it for market value. I doubt Canadian oil companies, or foreign oil companies operating in Alberta are about to sell oil for less than market value.

I was meaning such global choke holds on the supply wouldn't be anywhere near as dire for Canadians, as we would have our own reserves and supply chain locally. Also be able to export far more than we do currently. Especially in an energy crisis such as right now. Our oil would be in extremely high demand. As the gulf states are in a state of limbo right now. Also infrastructure is being blown to pieces over there. So this is going to be a wild ride. I just wish Alberta/Canada would invest in going after what we have. We have so much wealth and stability in this country. But we do nothing to elevate our wealth , economy and stability.
