Quote:Oil is one of the heaviest taxed commodities for one, so the refining process is a big boost to the tax revenues. secondly once the oil is sent to Texas to be refined it would then be American companies exporting it to the global trade market. That's not counting the additional jobs that will be created to simply build and maintain the pipeline nor the support jobs created for the additional demand at the refineries. Anytime we attract commerce onto our shores that's a good thing.

I did not know this. I thought the Canadian companies owned all the oil/sales/profits. Are their any figures on the potential $$$ amounts this would equate to in tax revenue?

Also isn't this only going to produce about 50 some off permanent jobs?
