I'm pretty sure I believe this, (linking them to Bitumen transport for Exxon)...

A little (note sarcasm) more than this...

2.6 million fine? what a joke just like the fines givin out around here for poaching.

fines should be in the 100 millions- billions.

A company like this only gets 2.6 mil fine when they are making 3.75 billion in profit a month. What a joke.  >:( >:( >:( >:(

i broke it down from the oil language to normal people language and their fine (if my maths correct) is 70cents for every $1000 they made in profit. an example of that fine would be if i got a speeding ticket for a $100 i would be making $144,230.77 per month! that sounds fair. if i were the oil companies why would i care about breaking the rules if this is all that comes of it. their wiki page says total assets are 333.795 billion in 2012.
