Canadian oil producers are in an increasingly tough predicament. With high and increasing oil demand around the globe over the last year, Canadian oil production has increased accordingly. All of this is simple and predictable economics, but now Canadian oil has hit a massive roadblock. Producers have the supply, and they have more than enough demand, but they don’t have the means to make the connection. Canadian export pipelines simply don’t have the capacity to keep up with either the supply or the demand. Read more Canadian oil producers have now maxed out their storage capacity, and the Canadian glut continues to grow while they wait for a solution to the pipeline problem to materialize. As pipeline space is at a premium and storage has hit maximum capacity, oil prices have fallen dramatically, and the differentials that had previously been hitting heavy oil hard in Canada (now at below $18 a barrel for the first time since 2016) have now spread to light oil and … [Read more...] about Canada’s crude crisis is accelerating

Toronto to New York, a cross-country road trip caught between skyscrapers
People call Toronto the New York of Canada. You can see why: there’s that high-rise skyline, a grid system of roads, a pleasant diversity of neighbourhoods and a thriving restaurant scene. Here, however, getting a table at the most desirable restaurants doesn’t involve queuing. Hipsters congregate on just one manageable road: Queen Street West (take that, Brooklyn). But still. There is the pull of the Big Apple, the showcase city in New York State, the outer reaches of which on a clear day are visible from the top of Toronto’s CN Tower. New York City itself is 500 miles away, and a journey between the two cities offered the prospect of much to see, from the watery rush of Niagara Falls to the calm of the Catskills. Ideally I would have driven all the way, but hire-car restrictions mean that crossing the border is unfeasibly expensive. I decided instead to get the train from Toronto to Niagara, then cross into the US via an established transfer service to Buffalo … [Read more...] about Toronto to New York, a cross-country road trip caught between skyscrapers
