I'm confused.
Sorry, I looked at the first several Google results and did not find anything better than statements that it is impossible to guess how much oil is actually there, let alone recoverable. From what I remember from my Global Energy class, Canada has a tiny fraction of the petroleum supply found in the Middle East, but is trying to compete, so yes, Canada will run out in very approximately ten years.
