According to our colleagues here, the country have its own source of oil, but the supply being sold here still come from other countries. Mas mura pa rin daw pag imported..

yep even if Canada is a net exporter of oil they still import a lot of oil

doesnt make sense ba?

oil fields are located in the western part of Canada while the main population centers are in the eastern part

lack of pipelines to bring the oil to the western part

refineries unable to process the type of crude produced (heavy crude)

so they have to import oil

Meanwhile..Oil stocks are going crazy at the phil stock market
