Its called the Athabasca tar sands. They are located in the NE of my home Provence of Alberta.

A quick search/find so I don't have to explain: http://www.energy.gov.ab.ca/89.asp

I cannot possibly put into words the boom that is going on up here in the last 2-3 years cuz of oil and gas and the present world political situation. I work first hand in the industry.

My southern neighbors have a insatiable appetite that will never be appeased and there is now talk of major pipelines heading to the west Coast. (Prince Rupert B.C.) To help supply Asia's thirst.

Many big ones planned going south too. Not just the one from Alaska I see on CNN. :rotfl:

I really dont think most the free world knows how much fuel oil reserves we have and the extent of activity going on up here.

No shortage of work in Alberta.
