Made in Canada?

[BrianF]

Great question, but I actually don't know. The thing is, guys that run farm fuel, usually have their trucks plated "F" or farm plates. As far as I can recall, they are exempted and can run it.

We opted not to have farm plates on our vehicles (even on the equestrian side, our acreage qualified business-wise) but the towing restrictions would not work with what we needed. Farm plates are cheaper as well.

In summation, I don't know if the truck and transport boys dip tanks, everyone runs farm plates anyways.

I think things changed when four door pickups became the norm, and people started hauling their families around in pickups. Back in the 80's there were still plenty of " full size" cars around in the country side. They did not have Farm Plates but were the recipients of a tank full of " Purple" once in a while.

Federated Co-op is definitely a Western Canada thing. Here are all the locations.

I hardly ever look at a label we're a product is made . When I was a youngster though I always noticed on my hockey equipment that it was made in Canada , pucks always seem to be made in Czechoslovakia for some reason . I wonder if hockey equipment is still mainly made in Canada ?

BITOG is 100% American and I plan on increasing my donation next year.

AFAIK Shell does not produce GTL base oil in Canada. I believe is imported from Qatar but not sure about the supply chain.

that raises an interesting point, is the end of GTL oils in the US on the horizon?

Bruh that is so 80's! That country split in 1992 and the region is now known as Czech Republic (Czechia) and Slovakia!

I wish I could buy Co-op oil but there are no distributors anywhere near me. Not going to buy by the litre at a gas station.

I’m making an effort to buy Canadian where I can but I’d be happy to buy from a smaller American company as well, such as HPL.

I always thought the real goal of GTL was to produce diesel but it couldn’t be done based on the traded price of a gallon of diesel for 3 or 4 bucks. Instead they made motor oil that requires a bit more molecule building but could be sold for 20 to 30 bucks a gallon. Shell has said publicly that the next plant would be way more efficient based on what they learned. We’ll see.

Houston has the Shell GTL storage distribution facility for the Western Hemisphere.

I believe we have to wait until early March for that assessment. Meanwhile we have 2000 very angry beavers watching the border.

Are those regular’s or JTF2 special forces?

Well, I hope we don’t locked. We covered a lot of ground. If you don’t want our our stuff, we’ll sell it to China. Let’s see what happens in March and April.

It’s turned political. It’s going to get locked.

IBTL!

This has turned political and argumentative so yes it is locked.
