A few months ago, I shared with you all how Petroleum is an essential part of our quality of life and how we use it in our everyday lives whether we realize it or not. Now that Fall is here and Winter being around the corner bringing in the colder weather, we're going to be using it a lot more. We rely on petroleum to make gasoline for our vehicles to get us from one place to another as well as heat, clothing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, building materials and plastics.

If crude oil didn't exist or was no more, not only would we not be able to enjoy the company of family members and friends who live far away on holidays, like, Thanksgiving, but we wouldn't even be able to enjoy a turkey dinner or dress in warmer clothes to keep warm. This is why crude oil is important and why we need to know more about it.
Did you know that Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world with 97% of those reserves in the Oil Sands? That's 168 billion barrels with the potential of over 100 years of production, which could create over 800,000 jobs in the next 25 years. This means more work available for Canadians. Canada’s energy future lies in the oil sands as it is a secure source to meet our growing demands.
