Yes, there are billions pouring in because it is government controlled but there are not those billions pouring out. The project is nothing more than an experiment like ethanol.
Canada is also building Nuclear power plants and is going unanimously “green” as in “Greenpeace”. Oil is a bad word in Canada these days.
Many of their drilling technicians have been forced to come down here to find work. The industry as a whole in Canada is not looking good.
