yea you would, on the crude alone you'll get a ~$15 (its actually about $25 today, which is the diff in value of crude in Edm vs the real world) per bbl discount on your crude. 550kbpd means you make more than 8mil a day just on the crude discount you get. And that ignores the margin for cracking.
Your right it's a bit of a publicity stunt, but its this guys long shot in the dark to hijack Alberta's potential ability to get it's product out to an open market.
