  2. I was on a plane flight from Alberta last year, a week before the big leak. Talking to an engineer from Husky we were talking about the petroleum industry using cheap forigen steel. He said Husky uses it and knows it’s bad, but uses it anyways. And usually leaks with in a year and they charge it to the insurance company’s to repair.
