So the problem is that Americans now have to pay something closer to fair market for Canadian crude oil because of Trans Mountain? How is that a problem? Trans Mountain is achieving the goal of expanding Canadian markets for its oil, beyond the US, and thus it achieves a fairer price for Canadian producers. It is a win for Canada. Now why was the pipeline so overbudget?? The video didn't address that question.
@@Xyy2387 I worked as a welder's helper on pipelines on Canada's prairies back in the late 70s. It was a good job for a kid, and it got me through College. 200 joints a day.

It was President Joe Biden who said no to Keystone XL. He cancelled the border permit while the pipeline project was being constructed. A lot of American and Canadian jobs were lost due to his decision. President Trump had approved the Keystone XL project.
This article misses the main point. The west is now able to increase production by around 600,000 bbl a day which directly and indirectly supports tens of thousands of jobs in Canada.
It does little to help Canadian and American consumers because the oil is traded on the global market. The majority of the jobs are short term. The impacts on climate change will be long term.
They forget that refineries and pipelines need frequent short term maintenance as well as adding new equipment/retrofitting projects. Expansions. Long term maintenance.
The academic interviewed blathers on about how governments should never step in to do projects the private sector considers uneconomic. Completely ignores the fact Kinder Morgan was entirely committed to this project and would have completed it had not both provincial and federal governments imposed such a convoluted and everchanging regulatory approval process, that Kinder Morgan made the decision to walk away, since even after a couple of years in they had no idea when approvals would be forthcoming. Hard to make an economic case for a project when you have no idea when you can start construction. That’s when the lightbulb went off in the feds heads…wait, I guess this pipeline project actually is important to the Canadian economy. Now that we’ve scared off the private sector, I guess we have no choice but to do it ourselves.
Energy is the lifeblood of the economy it affects every single aspect of goods and services produced from something simple as a no. 2 pencil all the way up to multi billion dollar machinery, oil is used in over 2 billion products and services used by the human race daily including food production if you purposely force shortages due to ideological extremism the cost and shortages of daily goods and services increase.. economics 101! Increasing supply to meet demand and beyond it decreases prices on production of goods and services! We are currently 18 million barrels of oil short per day to meet demand for the US economy and this is purposely being driven by these DeGrowth Radical Extremist to force the population into the Green Energy Scam so they can continue their goal of 100% control over the energy sector thus giving them 100% control of the economy thus 100% control over your livelihood and lives!
Look the United States does not tolerate competition. Look at Venezuela. Canadian politicians will have to stand their ground if they are to benefit local Canadians over American interests.
Venezuela's declining oil production has more to due to their nationalization of the oil industry and resulting mismanagement and incompetence than it has to do with U.S. sanctions. Venezuela has plenty of customers that are willing to buy their oil, they just can't produce it, they have destroyed their oil industry.
In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.
People often overlook the value of financial advisors until they experience the downside of emotional decision-making.

It will take decades to wind down oil reliance and move to other options on a fully integrated scale. We're taking half a century at least. We will still need oil during that time and even after as small industries get upgraded and modernized.
WSJ missed the part where Canada can now supply crude to countries dependent on Russian Crude. So in other words; those sanctions on Russia would actually start to hurt now.
Except those countries are paying a steep discount on Russian crude, given that it was forced to redirect its exports from its main European customers. That discount has varied, but at times been as large as ~$20/barrel vs Brent. Canadian producers will have a hard time competing with such discounts, especially if they want to move in volume. Exports to Asia rose considerably in June when the pipeline started operation, then fell in July and Canada was forced to start selling to California instead. Not exactly the diversification hoped for. I haven't seen the more recent numbers, but there's no guarantee that Canadian crude will be able to compete with Russian Urals.

It's interesting how an oil exporting nation like Norway can become a "climate-leader" at home but continue to play a leading role in oil exports. I think this could be a model for Canada, essentially "we are going to clean up our act, but if you want to buy our oil; no problem".
With all the import tariffs the US slaps on Canada, it's no wonder the trans mountain pipeline was built. Now maybe they will get rid of those lumber duties.
Lumber duty will stay as we have plenty already, and don’t need your thick tar like oil as we have sweet light shale that is more profitable. Stick to milking your young in real estate

This article should have included upper and lower estimates of the ROI on the current pipeline cost. That's the most important piece of information and WSJ completely omitted it.
That is true to point. The problem is Canada does not have the refining capability for heavy crude. Other countries already have refining capacity that can handle heavy crude from the oil sands. The cost of building the capability in Canada is huge. To get through Canada’s regulations and environmental assessments requires a lot of lawyers and takes a lot of time. That’s just the way Canada is. It would be great if we could change the rules and get on with the job but , we can’t.

The only country willing to pay for it is the US. Exporting it to any other country not bordering Canada would add cost that makes it more expensive than other oil sold by Canada's competitors. Its the US or nothing
@@TWE_2000 the other countries arent looking at using our oil just for fuel. They use it for products. The main country that can provide this really heavy crude is Venezuela which is not the most stable country, requires going through the Panama Canal which is expensive and is much further distance. India alone is looking at increasing their imports by a million barrels per day.
@@TWE_2000 It's clear you know next to nothing about the Alberta oil patch... I'm from Edmonton. Most of the growth was sales to China that were pressured to stop by the USA for political reasons. Having said that exports are now up 11 fold and most of that capacity is oil pumped onto ships destined for Asia... US domestic oil growth is flat at best and declining in many regions due to electric cars... And that's a good thing for all of us as a species..
@@TWE_2000 that is not exactly true. Admittedly, the US is the main consumer due to proximity and scale of their needs but there is definitely desire from nations to include our oil in their imports. The reasons for this are multiple. Now, we aren't going to find a single nation that will replace the US desire for quantity but nations like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. are trying to not just diversify their oil imports, but specifically to try and better counter the risks that can come from their standard oil transportation chokepoints found in the Strait of Hormuz, which can and has been easily disrupted by Iran, as well as the Strait of Malacca which if previously mentioned Pacific nations run into conflict with China ever, could cut them off from their energy imports critical to the very survival of those nations. They don't necessarily need to buy a large percent of their oil from us for it to be worth it on both sides. Additionally, oils prices fluctuate over time and as nations eventually drain the easier to access, transport, and refine oil from nations say in the Middle East. As those oil supplies eventually dwindle, as they already have in some of the smaller Gulf States, our oil will become more competitive but it takes time to build out infrastructure, so to wait until then would really be to delay our ability to benefit from future market shifts. We also should make note that countries do buy resources from us, even when more expensive than alternative options for another reason and this gets mentioned by nations frequently regarding many different types of resources. That is the idea that Canada is also a bit of a brand, like all nations, in and of itself. When buying Canadian oil, coal, lithium, etc. compared to say from certain African or Middle Eastern nations, you know that while yes the costs are higher, Canadian regulations, part of why its a higher cost, comes with more responsible (compared to competitors) with environmental impacts, more responsible with our labour in the sense that its people earning reasonable livings in reasonable conditions compared to some of the human rights concerns in other nations. So nations do also pay a higher cost because it is more "market friendly" to say its Canadian oil versus Saudi oil, or whatever resource typically arises. We also have to look specifically at what the United States of America has been doing in the energy sector over the last two decades and pay attention, looking at what our realistic future is. I remember in 2003 when the US went into Iraq and a lot of people were using "it was for the oil" as a talking point - not getting into any of the event specifically here - but it caused me to study the oil industry a little, global oil reserves, productions, imports, exports, Canada, the US, etc. At that time, the US was far from the largest oil producing nation and wasn't able to compete for the top spot. Of course a lot of their oil came from mainly the America's from Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela, but a significant portion did come from Saudi Arabia. Foreign policy, domestic policy, and energy policy kind of collide in that a couple things happen. The US goes through their huge fracking and shale oil boom and start investing significantly into domestic production. Since then, while the US does not have near the largest oil reserves, they've been able to produce a massive amount - although keep in mind it has only been "profitable" for the industry because it was heavily subsidized by the US government to make it competitive. Since then, the US has been intentionally trying to limit its oil imports. The US will gladly in the name of its own national interests limit Canadian imports if and/or when it see's fit. We don't diversify our economy enough in the sense that too many of our exports and imports are dependent on the United States and not enough is spread out around the world. This makes us incredibly dependent on them if we assume only the US can be our trade partner/customer of real interest. The easiest way to do it is just by slowly and steadily developing out long-term goals that shift interests.
What a buzzkill. Got to find a way to make a win sound like a loss. Alternate oil sources from the Middle East are a good thing. Also, for more balanced reporting, you should have maybe mention that building an oil pipeline through the Rockies is an enormous amount of work, and lots of similar projects go over budget, but still turn out to be economy savers. Don't make it sound like the environmentalists/First-Nations were the big problem.
Increasing demand for oil from country like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria were women aren't afforded the same rights as men and don't get me started on how they treat gay people. Or we could get oil from Venezuela and support a dictator who starves his own people.
But the First Nations and environmental groups were the ones placing stumbling blocks. They are the ones filing court cases. No one else. You can’t fool the people who watched this for years
definitely complex: expensive > unknown > necessary > environment > where we are now > can improve environment elsewhere too > long term economy > jobs now > CAD dollar used to be $1.08 in 2012 > since $0.63-$0.74..aka running a country is Complex. You have to be realistic and do best sacrifices/investments.
Agreed. They say oil demand is reducing... I don't see that happening any time soon with all these wars going on. Just propaganda to kill Canada's ambitions.
Some of these conclusions are very poor. Canada's CO2 footprint is non-existent compared to contamination from coal consuming countries -- meaning Canada could be net-zero and the world is still in trouble. However if Canada's resources can be made available to these poorer countries, getting their societies off of coal and/or wood, there would be a net-positive on the world regardless of Canada improving or not.

Canada consumes about the same amount it produces. It exports about half of its western production and imports an equal amount to the east through a terminal in Portland, Maine. It goes to refineries in Montreal via a pipeline from Portland. It has been proposed that western oil be sent to the east but this has been vetoed by Quebec. Quebec claims for environmental reasons but really it is to prevent dependence on the west or ROC. RoC = rest of Canada.
@@MRMONKEY433 Alberta got pissy. Something to do with being forced to provide oil to the east at half price, and having resources confiscated by a government corporation based in the east. Alberta came close to voting itself out of Canada.
Should consider exporting to Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, since ships passing by the Middle East is likely to be attacked by Iranian proxies and also the risk of China locking down the South China Sea and the Taiwan Straits, which would almost 100% affect the first three countries. Personally I don't feel like India is a good choice because the South China Sea issue, which is just a huge risk kind of like the Hormuz Strait.
You forget the many US military bases in the region, or you don't watch the current news that Japanese Navy ships just go through the Taiwan strait, but crying wolf
The concern about US refiners losing access to Canadian heavy oil can be traced to one cause - the repeated cancellation of the Keystone extension pipeline - by Obama, then again by Biden.

Our economy is more diverse, but the money brought in from oil dwarfs everything else. If we were willing to be more friendly to our own industry, that number could inflate exponentially.
The Canadian economy is encountering difficulties and seems to be at a standstill. Most skilled and educated immigrants have moved to the United States from Canada, resulting in a glut of unskilled migrants dependent on welfare from federal, provincial, and municipal governments to meet their needs. While there was a rise in consumer spending due population increase it was funded by the Central Bank printing more money, which has contributed high inflationary problems.
In 2018, the Canadian government stepped in to finish the pipeline... *After the government killed it through excessive bureaucracy.*. The reason the costs increased was because of the 15 years of delays (inflation), trying to complete construction during COVID, and the ridiculous labour laws that make getting any work done the 47th priority on the job site in Canada. (Transgender bathrooms onsite being the most important priority)
We live in a carbon based world, everything including the EV industry would die without it. Canada maybe the 4th largest producer, but has more untapped oil than Venezuela and Saudi Arabia combined.
@@tristanm8250 you forgot to add that the final buyer has to pay massively in further refining costs to actually get the bitumen to resemble typical crude making it even more useless
West Canada does not have enough water to massively produce tar sand oil. You can produce some, but only at high cost. Also has heavy metals. Its the last item on the shopping list.
One thing not specifically noted, is though Alberta oil is (was) captive to US markets, many US refineries are designed specifically to refine Alberta oil. These refineries cannot be changed to other oil supplies, so those refiners are captive to Alberta oil
The "American billionaires" don't control the price of oil. It's a global commodity. Canada can't just ask for a higher price if they're expecting to sell to any buyer on the global market. If you want to blame anyone for price fixing oil, blame OPEC. Look it up.
@@girak2 Nope. Canadian oil is bought on its own market separate from OPEC, because the only export pipelines go to American facilitys. The market is controlled by the Americans because they are the only customers. Canadian oil is always sold at a discount, because of this.
1. The Canadian government started the trans mountain pipeline in 2018 when trump was in office and, 2. The keystone pipeline was a project by a private company
The Keystone XL pipeline would have reduced the amount of oil sold from Canada to the US. The oil that would have gone through that pipeline would have gone to countries outside of the US. Which would have been good for Canada, but it would have reduced cheap oil from the US market and sent it overseas.
It's not _great_ for Canada. It ties our economy even tighter to a dying industry than we already are. It's dying slow enough that we'll probably see a return on investment at some point in the next half century or so, but that $25bn would have almost certainly been better spent on developing new industries with a more promising long-term outlook. Then again, there's always the bonus that Canada is likely to be one of the main benefactors of cooking our planet given our high northern latitude. I'm not convinced that's really a W though.
True. It is possible that Canada could become the first developed nation to transition from a first-world country to a second-world status in terms of GDP per capita… if there is any change in leadership soon. Vote right in the next elections
its the petrodollar not really the oil. They cant make a profit out of it because other countries can get it cheaper in middle east and India. Especially they are not using USD as payment.
The project was over budget because of regulations by the federal government. So much so that the investors sold the pipeline to the federal government essentially nationalizing this pipeline. Then the budget exploded exponentially due to federal bureaucracy. Add to this that the liberal government has an oil tanker ban on the west coast goes to show the idiocy of this current federal government.
Out of all the things the goverment does with my tax money, I'm happy to fork over a touch of cash to get this project done. I'm glad it happened, and I'm glad the government stepped in.
Demand for oil will remain constant or increase for at least another 25 years. This pipeline opens access to Asia for Canada. Canada will continue to supply crude to the US by rail car at least.
We need to be getting into the refinery game. Raw resources are cheap and margins are tight. Refined goods will have huge opportunities with our cheap and plentiful oil as a base. We just need to create an environment where it isn't stifled by permitting, red tape, regulation, and distribution issues.

Oil is not evil. It is a transitional energy source that is required until we can move to more, and more cleaner resources. It will be used for a long time, and Canada needs this for it's economy. All this from a tree hugging environmentalist.

Oil is not stalling. The EV market is stalling, oh wait cratering. A survey by McKinsey & Company found that over 46%of EV owners in the US are likey going back to ICE vehicles. This is mainly due to range anxiety. Anyways oil isn't going anywhere, and the USA should hope Canada builds more pipelines, especially new ones to them. A reliable source of oil from a friendly country.
This past summer 2024 the State of California asked EV owners to refrain from charging their vehicles due to the annual never ending brown out periods.
How come China now sells more EVs each month than ICEs? Massive growth in EVs still happening there. US and Europe growth is also still happening with EVs, but not as fast as in China. What you might have been confused by is reading that EV growth rate is slowing, but growth is actually still happening - just not as fast as in previous years. Easy to make this mistake though as the media is funded by big oil and ICE car manufacturers, so it's tough to find the real facts.

@@georgesingh5714 Real output from oil and gas extraction has grown faster under Trudeau than Harper, and Trudeau and Canadian tax payers bought a pipeline to move the oil. And it was Alberta that introduced the first carbon tax in North America, which forced the federal government to act on a carbon tax. And those who tell you they'll 'axe the tax', play you like an idiot when they don't explain what a carbon tariff is, and what that will do to our economy. But sure, Trudeau bad.
The only way to get rid of Canada from the economic recession is to build this pipeline and get the price of oil, and the actions of those who prevent the installation of the pipeline under the pretext of the environment have no logical justification.
no major nation in the western world, including Canada, is in a recession. also the word recession is generally assumed to relate to an economic event than than tidal. let's start there shall we?
Oil makes many different products. All refineries are not equal. Many are designed and set up to run on a specific blend of oil. Refiners focus on producing what they need. Oil is shelf stable. Once a product is refined it has a shelf life. It's easier to have oil on hand and produce what is needed in the region at the time.
Because the Canadian government has been run by idiots for several decades and instead of maintaining or building new refineries they shut them down and relied on US refineries to do all the work. Then the US resells the refined oil at a markup and Canadians get screwed over
The world will NEVER stop using oil especially in heavy industry. Private sector use will greatly decline but understand that alot of electricity is made using oil. Canada is afraid to use nuclear..why I don't know considering the Canadian Candu reactor has a brilliant reputation. Hydrogen comes from oil. The world has an addiction to plastic which comes from oil. So until cold fusion becomes economically viable, the oil industry is not going anywhere. What will change is the U.S. taking advantage of their greatest ally. As other countries want reliable energy, Canada will reap the reward by supporting it's health Care system, it's commitment to NATO. It's hypocritical of the U.S. to complain about Canada not supporting NATO as the U.S. is but the U.S. is applying tariffs to kill our industries. The U.S. is a fairweather friend. When it's in their interests, they help or play fair but if they don't see anything to self gain, they pull back they're hands. Look what's happening in Ukraine. Slava Ukraine ❤🇺🇦🇨🇦🌻🍻
its the petrodollar not really the oil. They cant make a profit out of it because other countries can get it cheaper in middle east and India. Especially they are not using USD as payment.
I like how Albertans think they would be an oil superpower if they separated. Being landlocked, paying massive transit fees to ship it through BC out to sea.
Some albertans want separation from Canada because they’re rich with oil,, but without oil, they might still be as poor as they were in the ‘30s, imploring help from the east, Ontario and Quebec who saved them by implementing the equalization program. This saved them albertans! From there, they could have achieved what Norway did, becoming hyper-rich, but they failed. As a quebecer who knows history a little, it makes us laugh when Albertans thinks we maintain our level of life because of equalization program. At least, 4 provinces receive more $$ per capita than Quebec but we never hear albertans about them.
Is excellent presentation. Good for Canada, As someone here in the US, I was never aware of the fact that we were blessed to have Canadian oil. Is here in the US we are lied to by our leaders The Keystone pipeline would have been a great thing for Canada and the US. But once again our leaders lied to us. Way to go Canadians may you make the best money you can do the best you can for your people..
I’ve got an idea. Why don’t us Canadians just use our own oil instead of shipping it all to the states so we can purchase it from Russia. We are literally wasting fuel to transport fuel that we could just ship around our own country and sell the excess

Just sell it abroad... all other countries would pay Canada more than the US. Better yet, build industries in Canada to refine and sell all the products abroad.

So the problem is that Americans now have to pay something closer to fair market for Canadian crude oil because of Trans Mountain? How is that a problem?

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.
People often overlook the value of financial advisors until they experience the downside of emotional decision-making. I recall a few summers ago, after a difficult divorce, when I needed help reviving my struggling business. I did some research and found a licensed advisor who worked diligently to grow my reserves, even amid inflation. As a result, my reserves grew from $315k to around $740k.

It will take decades to wind down oil reliance and move to other options on a fully integrated scale. We're taking half a century at least. We will still need oil during that time and even after as small industries get upgraded and modernized.
WSJ missed the part where Canada can now supply crude to countries dependent on Russian Crude. So in other words; those sanctions on Russia would actually start to hurt now.
Canada exporting oil to europe from the pacific or something? Kinda a long trip, no?
Except those countries are paying a steep discount on Russian crude, given that it was forced to redirect its exports from its main European customers. That discount has varied, but at times been as large as ~$20/barrel vs Brent. Canadian producers will have a hard time competing with such discounts, especially if they want to move in volume. Exports to Asia rose considerably in June when the pipeline started operation, then fell in July and Canada was forced to start selling to California instead. Not exactly the diversification hoped for. I haven't seen the more recent numbers, but there's no guarantee that Canadian crude will be able to compete with Russian Urals.

It's interesting how an oil exporting nation like Norway can become a "climate-leader" at home but continue to play a leading role in oil exports. I think this could be a model for Canada, essentially "we are going to clean up our act, but if you want to buy our oil; no problem".
Didn't they nationalize their oil industry so all the profits stay with the people?
Norway should have been a model to Alberta for the last 50 years but Albertans failed to accomplish what Norway did, becoming rich as Cresus.

And what about the lakes of toxic waste left over (tailing ponds) from extraction? Your ground water is going to be F'd.
That is true to point. The problem is Canada does not have the refining capability for heavy crude. Other countries already have refining capacity that can handle heavy crude from the oil sands. The cost of building the capability in Canada is huge. To get through Canada’s regulations and environmental assessments requires a lot of lawyers and takes a lot of time.

Canada will export their oil to countries who are *willing* to pay for it.
The only country willing to pay for it is the US. Exporting it to any other country not bordering Canada would add cost that makes it more expensive than other oil sold by Canada's competitors. Its the US or nothing
@@TWE_2000 The majority of the oil is destined for foreign markets. CHINA. Shipping is cheaper than you think.
@@TWE_2000 the other countries arent looking at using our oil just for fuel. They use it for products. The main country that can provide this really heavy crude is Venezuela which is not the most stable country, requires going through the Panama Canal which is expensive and is much further distance. India alone is looking at increasing their imports by a million barrels per day.
@@TWE_2000 It's clear you know next to nothing about the Alberta oil patch... I'm from Edmonton. Most of the growth was sales to China that were pressured to stop by the USA for political reasons. Having said that exports are now up 11 fold and most of that capacity is oil pumped onto ships destined for Asia... US domestic oil growth is flat at best and declining in many regions due to electric cars... And that's a good thing for all of us as a species..
@@TWE_2000 that is not exactly true. Admittedly, the US is the main consumer due to proximity and scale of their needs but there is definitely desire from nations to include our oil in their imports.
The reasons for this are multiple. Now, we aren't going to find a single nation that will replace the US desire for quantity but nations like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. are trying to not just diversify their oil imports, but specifically to try and better counter the risks that can come from their standard oil transportation chokepoints found in the Strait of Hormuz, which can and has been easily disrupted by Iran, as well as the Strait of Malacca which if previously mentioned Pacific nations run into conflict with China ever, could cut them off from their energy imports critical to the very survival of those nations.
They don't necessarily need to buy a large percent of their oil from us for it to be worth it on both sides. Additionally, oils prices fluctuate over time and as nations eventually drain the easier to access, transport, and refine oil from nations say in the Middle East. As those oil supplies eventually dwindle, as they already have in some of the smaller Gulf States, our oil will become more competitive but it takes time to build out infrastructure, so to wait until then would really be to delay our ability to benefit from future market shifts.
We also should make note that countries do buy resources from us, even when more expensive than alternative options for another reason and this gets mentioned by nations frequently regarding many different types of resources. That is the idea that Canada is also a bit of a brand, like all nations, in and of itself. When buying Canadian oil, coal, lithium, etc. compared to say from certain African or Middle Eastern nations, you know that while yes the costs are higher, Canadian regulations, part of why its a higher cost, comes with more responsible (compared to competitors) with environmental impacts, more responsible with our labour in the sense that its people earning reasonable livings in reasonable conditions compared to some of the human rights concerns in other nations.
So nations do also pay a higher cost because it is more "market friendly" to say its Canadian oil versus Saudi oil, or whatever resource typically arises. We also have to look specifically at what the United States of America has been doing in the energy sector over the last two decades and pay attention, looking at what our realistic future is. I remember in 2003 when the US went into Iraq and a lot of people were using "it was for the oil" as a talking point - not getting into any of the event specifically here - but it caused me to study the oil industry a little, global oil reserves, productions, imports, exports, Canada, the US, etc. At that time, the US was far from the largest oil producing nation and wasn't able to compete for the top spot.
Of course a lot of their oil came from mainly the America's from Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela, but a significant portion did come from Saudi Arabia. Foreign policy, domestic policy, and energy policy kind of collide in that a couple things happen. The US goes through their huge fracking and shale oil boom and start investing significantly into domestic production. Since then, while the US does not have near the largest oil reserves, they've been able to produce a massive amount - although keep in mind it has only been "profitable" for the industry because it was heavily subsidized by the US government to make it competitive.
Since then, the US has been intentionally trying to limit its oil imports. The US will gladly in the name of its own national interests limit Canadian imports if and/or when it see's fit. We don't diversify our economy enough in the sense that too many of our exports and imports are dependent on the United States and not enough is spread out around the world. This makes us incredibly dependent on them if we assume only the US can be our trade partner/customer of real interest. The easiest way to do it is just by slowly and steadily developing out long-term goals that shift interests.
American refineries will have to cope harder.
From that quote, it sounds like they're not even worried about it, and WSJ was just putting words in their mouth.
Since the US is pumping more of its own oil out of the ground than ever before, I think they will be fine.

What a buzzkill. Got to find a way to make a win sound like a loss. Alternate oil sources from the Middle East are a good thing. Also, for more balanced reporting, you should have maybe mention that building an oil pipeline through the Rockies is an enormous amount of work, and lots of similar projects go over budget, but still turn out to be economy savers. Don't make it sound like the environmentalists/First-Nations were the big problem.
But they were and it happens every time. It's all about short-sightedness. Everything musy be done now to save the world from exploding tomorrow.
Increasing demand for oil from country like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria were women aren't afforded the same rights as men and don't get me started on how they treat gay people. Or we could get oil from Venezuela and support a dictator who starves his own people.
But the First Nations and environmental groups were the ones placing stumbling blocks. They are the ones filing court cases. No one else.

You have to be realistic and do best sacrifices/investments.
Agreed. They say oil demand is reducing... I don't see that happening any time soon with all these wars going on. Just propaganda to kill Canada's ambitions.
Some of these conclusions are very poor. Canada's CO2 footprint is non-existent compared to contamination from coal consuming countries -- meaning Canada could be net-zero and the world is still in trouble. However if Canada's resources can be made available to these poorer countries, getting their societies off of coal and/or wood, there would be a net-positive on the world regardless of Canada improving or not.

Why a large pipeline to Quebec doesn't exist is amazing; they would rather buy from Saudi Arabia.
Canada consumes about the same amount it produces. It exports about half of its western production and imports an equal amount to the east through a terminal in Portland, Maine. It goes to refineries in Montreal via a pipeline from Portland. It has been proposed that western oil be sent to the east but this has been vetoed by Quebec. Quebec claims for environmental reasons but really it is to prevent dependence on the west or ROC.

There are some things it clearly gets wrong, even in the first 10 seconds. It says 98 per cent of our crude oil is shipped to the U.S. That is patently false. Until the opening of the pipeline, that number was correct with respect to the fraction of our exports that went to the U.S. But the WSJ implies that we only use two per cent of our crude production domestically. That's patently false. The Regina refinery, alone, uses around 120,000 bpd, more than two per cent of Canadian daily production. I've been writing about Canadian oil production for the last 16 years.
Well the WSJ is just the horses mouth. We should not expect to hear the truth

Right, but the only province that is between Alberta and the Pacific is ruled by a group of woke neo-communists.
Oil is far from done. Oil is only going to grow as more markets open up in the third world. As Countries industrialize there will be a greater demand. Canada could be in a prime position to capitalize if they could get past the environmental lobbyist.
What are some other use for oil?
Plastic is made from oil. So lots and lots of things.
Coal is also used in the process of making Steel.
So the building blocks of all of our small stuff (plastic) and all of our big stuff (Steel) are made from/with Oil and Coal.
Oil and Coal are here to stay for a long, long time.

Light oil is basically 50% gasoline so if lets say we did move more towards EVs that would mean there would be a lot of waste product. Heavy oil would move more towards jet fuel, shipping oil, greases and asphalts. If you think of a refinery like a distillery then as you heat up the feedstock the lighter materials boil off first and then as you continue to heat it the heavier product start boiling off till at the bottom you are left with asphaltenes. One thing that is being worked on right now is taking those asphaltenes and turning them into carbon fiber. They expect they could get the cost of carbon fiber cut in half using that process while lowering emissions to create the carbon fiber by 90%. Its not just some theoretical idea either. They have already done it on a smaller scale. Now they are working on the engineering challenges of scaling that up.

"Make or Break Canada’s Economy", Inflated click bait? Canada is wee bit more diverse than oil extraction.
No we aren't. Our economy is basically Tim Hortons and the world's biggest housing bubble.
Our economy is more diverse, but the money brought in from oil dwarfs everything else. If we were willing to be more friendly to our own industry, that number could inflate exponentially.
25 billion is a lot of money but it’s quite literally a drop in a bucket of the economy. They even stated that oil makes up just 5% of our economy.
The Canadian economy is encountering difficulties and seems to be at a standstill. Most skilled and educated immigrants have moved to the United States from Canada, resulting in a glut of unskilled migrants dependent on welfare from federal, provincial, and municipal governments to meet their needs. While there was a rise in consumer spending due population increase it was funded by the Central Bank printing more money, which has contributed high inflationary problems.
Really? Because currently the goal is to push down real estate which is also a large majority of Canada's gdp..
They need alternatives
In 2018, the Canadian government stepped in to finish the pipeline... *After the government killed it through excessive bureaucracy.*. The reason the costs increased was because of the 15 years of delays (inflation), trying to complete construction during COVID, and the ridiculous labour laws that make getting any work done the 47th priority on the job site in Canada. (Transgender bathrooms onsite being the most important priority)
Hey WSJ... We're totally ok with putting our economy first, before Americas. In case that wasn't completely obvious.
We live in a carbon based world, everything including the EV industry would die without it. Canada maybe the 4th largest producer, but has more untapped oil than Venezuela and Saudi Arabia combined.
Except the costs (economic and environmental) of extracting and transporting all that untapped oil make it basically useless.
@@tristanm8250 If Canada ever actually needed the $$$ badly regulations wouldnt last long in alberta. Trust me

One thing not specifically noted, is though Alberta oil is (was) captive to US markets, many US refineries are designed specifically to refine Alberta oil. These refineries cannot be changed to other oil supplies, so those refiners are captive to Alberta oil
The gulf coast refineries were saved by linking them to Alberta oil. They ran out of the feedstock they were built to refine.
They should have a laugh track with this bit of comedy gold. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
THIS PIPELINE IS RUNNING ALREADY LOADING SHIPS !!!!!!! We need to be in charge of our pricing of our oil not the American billionaires…..
The "American billionaires" don't control the price of oil. It's a global commodity. Canada can't just ask for a higher price if they're expecting to sell to any buyer on the global market.
If you want to blame anyone for price fixing oil, blame OPEC. Look it up.
@@girak2 Nope. Canadian oil is bought on its own market separate from OPEC, because the only export pipelines go to American facilitys. The market is controlled by the Americans because they are the only customers. Canadian oil is always sold at a discount, because of this.
Dil-Bit (diluted bitumen) is NOT crude oil. WSJ needs to get that fact correct.
Yup 100%
Extracting crude from bitumen is like refining pavement to get the oil out
@@Don-du7du There are about 7000 related products taken out of that bitumen.
Biden cancelling the keystone pipeline day 1 in office certainly didn't play a role......naaa.
1. The Canadian government started the trans mountain pipeline in 2018 when trump was in office and, 2. The keystone pipeline was a project by a private company
The Keystone XL pipeline would have reduced the amount of oil sold from Canada to the US. The oil that would have gone through that pipeline would have gone to countries outside of the US. Which would have been good for Canada, but it would have reduced cheap oil from the US market and sent it overseas.
@@krakken- it would have been refined in American refineries with greater throughput

I support anything that is good for Canada and Canadians.Eric 78 years old in England.
It's not _great_ for Canada. It ties our economy even tighter to a dying industry than we already are. It's dying slow enough that we'll probably see a return on investment at some point in the next half century or so, but that $25bn would have almost certainly been better spent on developing new industries with a more promising long-term outlook.
Then again, there's always the bonus that Canada is likely to be one of the main benefactors of cooking our planet given our high northern latitude. I'm not convinced that's really a W though.
Rail transport has caused more oil spills in 12 years then all pipelines ever.

Screw Canada; Make Alberta Great Again.
So Main takeaway is U.S would rather keep getting cheap oil while this would benefit Canada and the world every way 😂
Oil isn’t going anywhere for decades.
its the petrodollar not really the oil. They cant make a profit out of it because other countries can get it cheaper in middle east and India. Especially they are not using USD as payment.
The demand for oil won’t go away, it might move elsewhere, but we will always need oil.
The project was over budget because of regulations by the federal government. So much so that the investors sold the pipeline to the federal government essentially nationalizing this pipeline. Then the budget exploded exponentially due to federal bureaucracy. Add to this that the liberal government has an oil tanker ban on the west coast goes to show the idiocy of this current federal government.
Out of all the things the goverment does with my tax money, I'm happy to fork over a touch of cash to get this project done. I'm glad it happened, and I'm glad the government stepped in.
Who's going to clean up the mess... the tailing ponds? and deal with the ground water being poisoned by that garbage?

We conveniently have the second largest oil reserves in the world, and even more BTUs in coal.
@@vampfashionsyep, non renewables are the ol’reliable
Demand for oil will remain constant or increase for at least another 25 years. This pipeline opens access to Asia for Canada. Canada will continue to supply crude to the US by rail car at least.
25 billion? I worked there and absolutely over that price tag.
This is something that can really turn canada into a relevant power.
Anything Canada can do to reduce reliance on the US is a good thing. This is not nearly enough however.
We need to be getting into the refinery game. Raw resources are cheap and margins are tight. Refined goods will have huge opportunities with our cheap and plentiful oil as a base. We just need to create an environment where it isn't stifled by permitting, red tape, regulation, and distribution issues.
We have sufficient capacity to refine more than we produce. The economics of shipping is what makes transporting raw product the current system.

Very little benefit for the US compared to the risk when there are leaks and very few permanent jobs.

Why are we selling crude? Why are we not selling a finished product and keeping those jobs and profit in Canada??
Why build a pipeline for 4 Billion when you can postpone it so you can build it for 25 Billion.
Albert should say no to transfer payment to quebec New Brunswick , nova scotia and p.e.l.
Who paid for this pipeline? Transfer payments deal was made when the provinces got mineral rights.
That's a lie. The government of Alberta got mineral rights to it's land in 1930. Equalization did not start until 1957.
Canada finally getting WTI price for its oil instead of WCS (which is discounted by 20% of WTI). Its the SAME oil. This is why American presidents kept cancelled Keystone, they didn't want Canadian oil getting to "tide water" and bypassing their refineries, so we built our own pipeline instead. Good for Canada.

Oil is not evil. It is a transitional energy source that is required until we can move to more, and more cleaner resources. It will be used for a long time, and Canada needs this for it's economy.
All this from a tree hugging environmentalist.

Oil is not stalling. The EV market is stalling, oh wait cratering. A survey by McKinsey & Company found that over 46%of EV owners in the US are likey going back to ICE vehicles. This is mainly due to range anxiety. Anyways oil isn't going anywhere, and the USA should hope Canada builds more pipelines, especially new ones to them. A reliable source of oil from a friendly country.
This past summer 2024 the State of California asked EV owners to refrain from charging their vehicles due to the annual never ending brown out periods.
When USA wants more Canadian oil, sit back. The pipelines will appear out of nowhere.
Be honest? EV vehicles can be charged from any energy source. ICE engines can only use gas which is a finite resource.
@@scavuman Your comment just shows that you don't know how the grid actually operates.
How come China now sells more EVs each month than ICEs? Massive growth in EVs still happening there. US and Europe growth is also still happening with EVs, but not as fast as in China. What you might have been confused by is reading that EV growth rate is slowing, but growth is actually still happening - just not as fast as in previous years. Easy to make this mistake though as the media is funded by big oil and ICE car manufacturers, so it's tough to find the real facts.
This is BS. Oil is core to wealth in the west.

1:32 Right it's totally a lack of export partners and not because of the lower quality of the oil.
Why doesn't Canada refine the oil themselves?
Oil makes many different products. All refineries are not equal. Many are designed and set up to run on a specific blend of oil. Refiners focus on producing what they need. Oil is shelf stable. Once a product is refined it has a shelf life. It's easier to have oil on hand and produce what is needed in the region at the time.
Because the Canadian government has been run by idiots for several decades and instead of maintaining or building new refineries they shut them down and relied on US refineries to do all the work. Then the US resells the refined oil at a markup and Canadians get screwed over
From 2009 to 2022, China spent US$28 billion on EV subsidies and tax breaks..
Meanwhile, Canada spent 25 billion just for oil transportation .😂
There are refineries in Canada but like many other countries some have been closed and it's difficult to build new ones.
Our heavy oil is too costly to refine.
The world will NEVER stop using oil especially in heavy industry. Private sector use will greatly decline but understand that alot of electricity is made using oil. Canada is afraid to use nuclear..why I don't know considering the Canadian Candu reactor has a brilliant reputation. Hydrogen comes from oil. The world has an addiction to plastic which comes from oil. So until cold fusion becomes economically viable, the oil industry is not going anywhere. What will change is the U.S. taking advantage of their greatest ally. As other countries want reliable energy, Canada will reap the reward by supporting it's health Care system, it's commitment to NATO. It's hypocritical of the U.S. to complain about Canada not supporting NATO as the U.S. is but the U.S. is applying tariffs to kill our industries. The U.S. is a fairweather friend. When it's in their interests, they help or play fair but if they don't see anything to self gain, they pull back they're hands. Look what's happening in Ukraine.

Some albertans want separation from Canada because they’re rich with oil,, but without oil, they might still be as poor as they were in the ‘30s, imploring help from the east, Ontario and Quebec who saved them by implementing the equalization program. This saved them albertans! From there, they could have achieved what Norway did, becoming hyper-rich, but they failed. As a quebecer who knows history a little, it makes us laugh when Albertans thinks we maintain our level of life because of equalization program. At least, 4 provinces receive more $$ per capita than Quebec but we never hear albertans about them.
