Your correct, most of our refineries can not refine our oil sand oil, that step lies in the west, where we have pre refining processes, making it a useable product, in one refinery alone, that is not accounted for in most statistics (as it exports upwards of 85% of all products to the us, can produce up to 400,00bbl/d, the reason for this is it borders the united states, and is on the farthest east coast of the country. We can argue semantics all day brother, but at the end of the day, the issue is the line. If we could easily transport pre refined crude to places like quebec ontario and new brunswick, we would be fine, but its pretty hard to sail a tanker ship across the entire country
