It was the policy, put forward by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce and adopted by the Federal Government which forced refineries east of the Ottawa River to purchase higher priced Alberta oil. Thanks Ontario for helping create the Alberta Oil industry, we will always be thankful for your benevolence and kindness in subsidizing our province. Of course, when the Federal Liberals wanted to amend the energy policy, we got very upset because by that time we were making a lot of money and did not want the awful federal government to take our money.
