Rmiller101, even I could  do a lot better than using a link from a foaming-at-the-mouth eco fanatic group like 'environmentaldfence.ca". Post some credible links.   That said, you missed the April 2016 interview with Irving discussing a possible  upgrader plant for their refinery pending, of course, an approval of energy east.  The USA has built upgraders for our oil and Canada has them too (Suncor, Husky, CNR etc.).  You mean to tell us that no upgrader initiative could EVER happen in the maritimes?   Such small thinkers, the lot of you.

If, in the meantime, Energy East oil were to be shipped elsewhere, so what?  Why should Alberta be restricted to only the USA as  customer?  The indolent minds of the left would have us forever importing eastern oil from the USA and other countries as well as seeing no opportunity to build upon the massive investments in the EE pipe.  Tiny minds, the left has.
