The Tar Sands Minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty
spoke out today from the APEC conference in Honolulu, introducing plan B for the oil industry’s now shell shocked Canadian subsidiary. With the Keystone pipeline being delayed for a couple of years, the current Canadian management team has moved their focus onto the BC Gateway project.
who surprisingly was still quoting the subsidiaries failed, ethical oil, marketing slogan. Meanwhile the Prime Minister of Tar Sands has remained silent, leaving his PR department to reiterate the long term viability of the Canadian organization.
Although one would suspect that there was talk around the boardroom table about the continuing independence of the Canadian operation and the general weakness in their marketing abilities.

Why not build a pipeline to the East to where existing refineries have been closed, refurbish them, stop importing "un-ethical oil", and even reduce Albertan equalization payments? "Umm... Err... Adscam?"
