Zero Hedge: Gartman Is Shocked By What Is Going On With Canadian Oil

Yesterday we remarked that while the pain for US energy traders has been palpable, it is nothing compared to the mass hysteria taking place in Canada, where the price of Western Canada Select oil has collapsed just above $15 as far too much local production remains landlocked, and in desperate search of any buyer.

Meanwhile, India and China, signatories to the prior occupant's crowning accomplishment in 8 years of....of...ah, are proceeding with their plans at time of signing said crowning accomplishment to build 70 new coal burning power plants.
