Time of the Tar Sands

[@DavidBale-vn4op]

I still remember Carl Nichols giving the weekly drilling report commenting. The great importance the future development of the sands. Syncrude pilot plant was in infancy and plagued with technical stills. The eventual success of the industry has been a cornerstone of the Canadian economy for years. Canada manpower and national immigration programs have benefited greatly for years. I've seen and enjoyed watching Alberta's cities flourish because of this prosperity all my life. Carl should have a statue or something as a tribute.

Turdo Sr. had his greedy commie hands all over Alberta's oil resources.

I didn't know anything about this. Very interesting.

Back in 1979, I used to roll around in the nude on my shag carpet while I listened to the intro song on my record player.

Love the red green show

Thought he was saying, Tarzan.

That's a crude joke. Did you hear they tried to teach a bitumen beast named Cheetah to use the bathroom. The Petro-primate left tailings all over the toilet seat. Think twice before cracking (or fracking) some of your unbearable (or un-barrelable) oil jokes.
