That is how profits are made, people bid on things and buy them and the  
highest bid wins.

Ever hear of Ebay?

You can even make some profits for yourself there.

Now what does exports of US oil have to do with exports of Canadian oil  
delivered to US refineries by the proposed XL pipeline?

Yes, that's right - we get:

1. Jobs to construct the pipeline, and communities along the route get  
increased spending and tax receipts.

2. US refining companies like Valero get more product to refine, generate  
more US jobs, and make more US profits.

But if Canada has to ship it out of their west coast they will need to  
refine it in Alberta first, or build a new facility in BC.

Why do you want to treat our friends so poorly?
