The few dollars per barrel that they spend on shipping can be cut down especially when you're talking millions of barrels over time.
This is very similar to the outrage over the Royalty review.
"Its not a big deal."
It is. Oil production in Alberta is an intensive process requiring a lot of labour and logistics over the long-game, it isnt just a few buck here and there today its about the up and down-stream effects of those dollars over time.
Same with pipelines, we're talking about dollars per barrel from now until the foreseeable future.

Thanks for the response. I'm not knowledgeable enough about the oil industry to cut through the half truths that seem to be told by everyone. This is the main reason for me not being a fan of government and the oil industry, it seems that what is said is spun so much that it takes quite a bit of time to cut the bs out and figure out what is actually going on.
Im not a Notley hater though, I just think some of the mistakes are from inexperience. WRP leader reminds me of William H Macy, more so from Fargo than any other movies. In other words, I don't trust him at all.
