I doubt it. Common excused used by oil companies Like Imperial Oil is that their is no money to be made in refining.
That was the old way of thinking when the price of WCS was very high, the cancellation of the voyager project. IF the tariffs go on our products it will make it less attractive to ship oil to the states, unless a surcharge is added to the oil shipped to counteract the tariff.

The political BS and slow union work force may be the nail in the the coffin for the High conversion refineries needed to refine our crude oil.

The alphabet society must be imploding after yesterday. I bet they can’t put a sentence together today
should be easy with all the letters they have......

its not just them. it blows my mind how many people I would consider smart that truly think trump is going to be so much worse. even though he's already secured the boarder, cease fire and peace talks already started in Gaza, deporting illegals. no more catch and release......meanwhile Biden pardons everyone he needs to protect to protect himself.....

Trump declares drug peddlers as domestic terrorist, so where does that leave our Canadian government when we legalized drugs and hand them out like candies. Are we now considered terrorist? I would hope we get labelled like that, it might go a long way in fixing the problems the Turd has created.

Actually the exact wording when he announced it was drug cartels. Drug peddlers will still be classified as criminals.

He was asked if the military would be used to take out the cartels and he said you never know. Kinda left it out there but I think we all know what he meant.

My understanding is that when prices are low refineries are quite profitable when they are high margins get tighter obviously because their feed stream is supplied for less. Problem with having too many refineries is what do you do with all the finished products? A refinery may make 30 different products but it is likely going oversupply the area so then you have to distribute each of the finished products. Alternatively we ship crude down the pipe and refiners pick off the pipeline to produce for market demand in specific areas.
