Norm, how nice is that apartment? My old one-bedroom was month-to-month and furnished, for about one-ninth that amount, but it was a hole!

The population figures were from 2,010.

How much of the housing there is "permament?" How much does a meal at a fast-food place cost?

From what I read, some of the larger projects refine the bitumen, but is that even the right word? They synthesize crude from that, but the refineries are in Edmonton (or further)?

Do you know if there are plans to change that? If you go through a ton of bitumen to make a drum of crude and you cannot produce a drum of fuel from a drum of oil, wouldn't it make sense to do all of your processing as close to the mine as possible and reduce shipping?

Easier said than done, right?

Thanks for answering my questions! This is better than hours of research!
