Personally, I can't remember the last time I applied to open a mine and was turned down and told I needed to stand in line for years.

How about you? Can you name a single Alberta oil company that was denied a permit to drill while an American company was allowed to buy up some permits to turn around and "lease" out?

Its a whacky comparison. Just because one is called a "resource" does not mean it is equivalent to the same processes and considerations as for black liquid and rocks.
