I don't know how he can make end's meet, maybe he's CEO of another corp where the share holders eat bull.
This is typical of the rich greedy 1% taking all the money they can without justification who needs $40M US as a bonus???

Are we talking industry standard or what a person thinks they are worth
Of course the odd lawyer might try to justify a $2000 an hour rate

Because there's no point, the midwest is oversupplied. Simpler to build keystone XL and pipe it where it is going to be used and upgrade it there. Because the refineries are already there and that's where the market is.

I have to admit I know nothing about such things but ...

If it was refined in Canada, couldn't Canada simply supply its own customers and sell the excess? As opposed to transporting it south, refining it, and then transporting it north to customers.

So today is the big day. Looks like Wild Rose will win in the countryside, loose in Edmonton and things could go either way in Calgary. Minority government?

I believe so. The polls and the local papers appear to suggest so as well. Time will tell.

The analysis as reported in BC is that there was a lot of tactical voting by NDP, Liberal and uncommitted voters because the White Rose party scared the **** out of a lot of people.

As an aside, it seems there was a lot of support from the federal conservatives for the Wild Rose party and against the incumbent provincial conservatives.
