U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney is to jet into Alberta next month for an oilsands tour, further cementing the vital role Canada will play in supplying crude to the world's biggest energy consumer.

Premier Ralph Klein surprised his aides Friday by revealing at the premiers meeting in Banff that U.S. President George W. Bush's right-hand man would arrive in September for a primer on the multibillion-dollar oilsands projects in northeastern Alberta.

"Vice-President Cheney will be visiting Alberta in early September to look at the tarsands and there's just a tremendous amount of interest now in seeking that secure and reliable supply of oil and gas -- and of course they're looking to Canada and in particular Alberta," Klein said.

China has also been eyeing the Canadian oilpatch -- a point not lost on Washington. Canada is the largest supplier of oil to the U.S. and major American petroleum producers have made big investments in their northern neighbour.

Klein can't wait for his pockets to be filled.

is it OK with Canadians that their gov. is selling their oil instead of keeping it for future use as oil disappears?

2. Cheney is NOT welcome in Canada!

Klein is an asshole who would LOVE Alberta to become the 51st state, thank goodness he is leaving and not running again.

Cheney best look hard at the oilsands, with the bush admin thumbing their nose at NAFTA, the price for that oil to the US may skyrocket once we attach additional levies to it before it crosses the border. Canadians are FURIOUS at the bush admin re the thumbing of their noses at the LATEST NAFTA ruling.

3. Yes, Canada, levy the shit out of that oil....

If you're going to have to deal with BushCo, get all you can!!!

4. Alberta has the Iraqi WMDs

Someone moved them as the US invaded. Now we must invade Canada to get these ever-moving WMDs. For some reason, the WMD hiders like to place these WMDs over oil fields that we want.
