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

WNU Editor: I have a relative who runs a small oil service company in Alberta. He warned me 3 years ago that this was going to happen .... and it has.

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.
