You do realize that BC only produces 1.6% of Canadian oil annually?
In BC we only produced 1,132,031 M3 or 7,120,475 bbl last year which considering our provinces population and heavy reliance on other resources such as Fishing, Lumber, Mining, and Farming we will either have to shut those industries down completely since we will not have enough BC drilled oil or continue importing oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Yes we (Canada) ship oil to the USA, as a country we produce more than we use, so why not sell it for a profit? Its one of those perks of having the 3rd largest Oil reserves on the planet.

Most interesting and informative links, but so far I've only had time to briefly scan them. Can't download the 2nd one, unfortunately. Thank you, and I'll get back to you when I've read them in their entirety.
