Because it's time to cut the rhetoric of "let's invest in technologies to make Canadian oil the cleanest/most efficient".
You're producing water, throwing a bunch of energy into it to make steam, pumping it around and then treating it. Meanwhile someone else sticks a straw in the ground and oil comes out.
Why don't we change the message to something believable to the rest of the country/world? Something along the lines of "Capitalizing on our natural resources in the near term to invest in a future of ________" would sure seem a lot more genuine and believable.
