There is more oil in Canada then Saudi Arabia, it's just more complicated to get it out.
It took so long before they started extracting it because it did not make economical sense. With the price of oil skyrocketing, oil extraction in Canada can only go in one sad direction.
I work for a company that (among other things) manufactures/distributes those fracturing units that inject water into the ground.
I find it sad that the best (most economical) process they came up with to get the oil out is so damaging for the environment.
