"Here in the USA we use railroad tanker cars as a work-around for the lack of crude pipelines. Couldn't they use that in Canada to ship oil east?" -Snowshoe

Good question. Would guess that the rail option is too costly. That and matched refineries or ship loading facilities do not currently exist.

I am waiting for the interventionist Parti québécois government in la belle province to devise a master industrial strategy whereby the provincial government would green-light a series of bitumen and heavy oil refineries. This kind of grandiose project would likely receive considerable public support from both federal and provincial governments. Québec has Utica shale natural gas that could provide cheap power.

Enviro-movement permitting......
