He said Derek that it not unusual for an oil or gas company to buy one hundred million dollars of pipe & equipment in one purchase.. The tar sands in Alberta is the second largest oil deposit in the World & the money being spent there is in the billions of dollars. That was at the height of the boom but you should see the money here in Calgary where I live. You can walk into a car dealership & buy any car you like off the floor including Rolls Royce or Aston Martins. Million Dollar houses everywhere( average house $ 350/400,000.00.) It is worth a look on the net to see what is going on here, it makes it a very expensive place to live though. One company got caught getting pipe through the border by declaring it was thinner than it actually was, that made the pipe value worth $20,000,000.00 less than it should have been, the tax man was upset a little.
