Gasoline and Oil Prices

A friend forwarded this rational to me. Somehow, it makes sense, sort of. As an oil producing country,why are we paying more than we should? This may be the reason!

Garfield on the oil crisis A lot of folks can't understand how we came  to have an oil shortage here in Canada .  Well, there's a very simple answer, Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we were getting low.  The reason for this is purely geographical.  Our Oil is located in: ALBERTA SASKATCHEWAN BRITISH COLUMBIA MANITOBA COASTAL NEW BRUNSWICK COASTAL  NEWFOUNDLAND   Our DIPSTICKS are  located  in  OTTAWA Any Questions ???  NO ?...  Didn't think so.
