Oil pumped out of the ground in Saudi Arabia was around $20-30/barrel to produce, while oil sands are closer to $70/barrel to produce - and that’s with fracking technologies that made it cheaper.
Yes, it is better to buy from Canada than the Middle East, but customers prefer lower prices in general.
Oil sands do not use fracking, as the sludge do not flow; they strip-mine the oil-soaked dirt with massive scoops and conveyors.
Wait till the first Russian plane gets shot down, thanks to Bamster arming his buddies al-Qaeda ...oil prices will shoot up again.
