BP, Shell and Vitol eyeing US crude exports to Canada

Reuters -- Oil major BP Plc has secured U.S. government permission to ship U.S. crude oil to Canada, and Royal Dutch Shell has applied for an export license, as rising production in the world's top oil consumer upends global energy flows.

Canadian oil that's about to be piped to Texas will be shipped to Asian markets, NOT for sale within the U.S. Yet, Canadians, who already pay a LOT more than their U.S. neighbours, will be paying a premium for crude oil fracked-out from N.D.? It's time our countries had energy policies that took control of it's own resources instead of allowing private corporations to hold us hostage to our own resources and ruining our economies for THEIR record profits.
