Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Because it's there: One argument holds that Canadians should develop the more expensive but certain reserves in Alberta's tar sands; where this monster machine mines oil for Great Canadian Oil Sands Ltd.; 96 per cent owned by Sun Co. Others would hunt for cheaper - but less certain - conventional oil supplies.
