We are keeping an eye on these guys. We have handed that responsibility over to our governments. They in turn have sold it to the corporations. So the corporations are keeping an eye on it. Who is watching the watchers? I will not buy shares of these companies.

Suncor
Exxon, Imperial
Chevron
Shell
ConocoPhilips
Encana
Petro-Canada
Western Oil Sands
Nexen
OPTI
Husky
Synenco
Murphy Oil
Mocal Energy
