How much refining capacity does Canada have for heavy oil that is used to refine foreign oil?
My understanding is that refining capacity for light oil (Saudi oil) can't be allocated to heavy oil.
So how much of an argument is their to be made that we should replace foreign oil imports with domestic oil?
We are a net exporter by some margin, and produce more than we consume as a country.
