The lack of crude takeaway capacity is having a dramatic effect on Canadian energy companies as Western Canadian Select benchmarked crude continues to trade at a significant discount to the United States and global crude benchmarks. As a result, over the past year, the S&P 500 Energy index has doubled the performance of the S&P/TSX Capped Energy index.
