We loose so much opportunity by selling raw crude, between the jobs, the capital investment, the markup on the product, its so stupid. As someone in the mining industry, I hope the government declares oil a 'strategic national resource' like they did with potash, and starts to regulate how much gets shipped south a little bit closer.
Mining isnt Oil, we have neither the investment capital, or the labour to build multiple upgraders and refineries.
