This should get the market going on Monday morrning.

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday night that Suncor Energy Inc. is close to acquiring Petro-Canada in a deal that would merge Canada's two biggest oil companies.

Spokeswomen for both companies declined to comment, the Journal reported. A deal announcement was expected to come as early as Monday.
