Conspiricy theory.
Why open up Alaska's oil fields or use Canada's huge resourses when firstly you need to bleed the middle east dry. Then you are left with those who have the materials left remaining in control. US congress continually oppossed to opening up Alaska even though we could be looking at $80 a barrel.
Is my mind going?

Eeeeyah, point being... This post is about United North America, not oil revenues.

The US has a history of bombing people who get between them and their oil supply.

If you read your Canadian news you would know that the oil companies are investing a lot of money in figuring out the most efficient way to extract the oil.

A three bedroom single family home in Fort McMurray will cost around $400K ... you can get the same in Calgary for not much over half that.
Incidentally ... you can still buy a bungalow there ...
Can't say I'd want to live in Fort McMurray ... but if you want to make money, it's probably the place to be.
