“Odd headline”

Maybe referring to the fact that it is a lot more expensive to remove and process this oil than, say from a hole in the ground in Saudi. So it’s only a viable supply as long as the world oil price stays very high. They’ll have to control supply to make sure it stays that high.

Alberta oil sands have been in continuous commercial production for over 4 decades. It has already survived multiple price swings including the very cheap oil of the late 1990's (oil reached below $10 a barrel).

Well...Canada is a small nation with no ability to control the price of oil. The liberal elites in Canada, especially the Gaia cultists would love to see Alberta curtail its level of oil production.

Frankly its a win win for Canada and the US. The more North American oil production the US can rely on the better - to finally be free of Islamic oil.
