SNC Lavin has about $1b in projects in Libya, and Suncor pumps 50,000 barrels a day from Libya - more than the largest American oil company (Conoco-Philips).
Can you explain again why you guys are so interested in not 'wasting time studying the alleged facts'? Seems that might lead one, for example, to grossly underestimate Canada's interests in fostering war in Libya.

A handful of major Canadian companies, including engineering company SNC-Lavalin and oil firm Suncor Energy, have substantial projects in Libya. Oil ventures in Libya typically require foreign firms to pay cash bonuses and put up capital in return for a share of proceeds from a joint venture. Neither SNC-Lavalin nor Suncor have said if any of their transactions have been blocked by the sanctions. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/canada-freezes-23-billion-in-libyan-assets/article1925091/
