It's not like that -- when I say "we have" I mean geographically, not
fiscally...

They're all owned by the big American corps. . .

I've figured it out. . .

One day the Middle East is going to dry up and/or close access, then the corps
will use up their wells here in Canada, and when those are all dry, they'll
still have Okie, Texas, & California and they'll have a complete monopoly on
the last reserves of crude oil!

Then when we approach them for a bit of consideration, because we helped them
out so much, the response will be, "hey, this is business!"

Because I care,
