I fully agree that less oil in general is a good thing, and shifting from heavy oils to lighter oils is also a good thing. But if we’re going to be extracting and using something anyway, I think processing it ourselves is an improvement as well, and it will somewhat help keep the money AB & SK spend on oil in Canada and reduce our dependence on long pipelines and foreign industry.

Reducing our dependence on oil in the first place would definitely be better, but if we only take the best steps we won’t get anywhere.
