Merger of Canadian Oil Companies

I was reading The Economist.com when all of the sudden I remember that the province of Alberta Canada has the second biggest oil reserve after Saudi Arabia. I feel so awkward because I used to remember this fact on my finger tips when I studied at University of Saskatchewan.

The merger of Suncor Energy and Petro-Canada must be looked at positively. Saving $300 million of operating expenditure is a big sum of money. But more importantly by merging both companies would avert unnecessary rivalry. Although the oil reserve is plenty, one day it will deplete and eventually run dry.

Oil and Energy companies must take the necessary steps to find other source of energy. Malaysian oil Company Petronas has been developing alternative energy because oil reserve in Malaysia would run dry by 2013.

But I am still puzzle as to where I had misplaced my Petro-Canada card!

Devastated

Dear Valentine,
I am listening to Karen Carpenter singing Yesterday Once More,
Over and over again , yet I knew I have to write this in public....
Come March 30th 2009, it will be 3 months since my father passed away. I feel so lost sometimes wondering whether I did any wrong doing on that Tuesday morning 30th December 2008. I did asked my father whether he wanted to see the doctor in the morning but he refused. I knew I should have forced him to do so.

If I have enough cash now, I would have booked the airline ticket to Saskatoon right away. I need a break from this great loss. While on the flight from Vancouver to Saskatoon I should see the beautiful scenery of Banff and Jasper.

But in reality I still need to save more money for that flight to Saskatoon. My emotion is still not stable, my heart pounding fast most of the time but I don't care. I was supposed to undergo a stress test and echo last week but I didn't go to the hospital because I knew I would fail the stress test. I am still unstable emotionally.

One day I will go Saskatoon and Outlook again.
