Ed,

I agree, we need to find other places for our oil to go, and not at discounted price.

As for the loonie; with the USA our only major client, with the loonie being lower, us oil companies make more. Since we are paid at a US dollar price, it is worth more to us when the loonie is lower, even though we sell at a discounted rate. The change in our loonie doesn't effect this rate, as this rate is set in American currency.
