Reply to comment by qainin in Germany shrugs off Russia’s oil export ban, says move has ‘no practical significance’. by Marciu73

I’m in Alberta Canada. The 4th biggest proven oil reserves are about a 5hour drive away. And that proven oil reserve is only 65% of Canada’s oil

And the country is under 70% of perm-a frost. Wonder how much is under there we can’t see lol

The issue with Canadian oil is that it's expensive to refine compared to a lot of other oil sources.

I'd certainly be willing to spend more buying oil from a friendly democratic neighbor this helping their economy than aiding a country attempting to annihilate its peaceful neighbor.

Small Modular Reactors are going to be a game changer for Alberta if oil remains relevant for the foreseeable future. Steam extraction coupled with nuclear would be incredible.

No thank you, gross. At least have some middleman skim most of the profits away from Russia first.
