I also wasn't aware it was tar pit territory. I did like the idea though because apart from the seal hunting, nobody ever seems to have anything bad to say about Canada.Falling on a bruisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05518409624331248084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-70898260141570331902008-07-10T18:38:00.000+01:002008-07-10T18:38:00.000+01:00If you're going to move to Canada, I would suggest...If you're going to move to Canada, I would suggest beautiful British Columbia. The cost of living is pretty high, but that bubble is going to burst soon.

Hell Lucy, do all three and you can star in your own reality show. Tar sands are economically feasible at $65 and above oil, so make that your exit point.

And it's all Albertan tar sands. When you factor heavy oil into reserves, as they should with current prices, Canada has more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia (what peak oil?). Also, FYI, getting the oil out of tar sands produces large amounts of "GHG," so no chance in Hell Canada meets Kyoto goals now.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852642278050989281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-60946452191615662882008-07-10T03:38:00.000+01:002008-07-10T03:38:00.000+01:00I swear if the U.S. starts a war with Iran I'm out...I swear if the U.S. starts a war with Iran I'm outta here.
