Several things are going Suncor's (SU -0.87%) way right now. After several years of growing production, only to see it get stuck in Canada, the market for Canadian oil sands is growing by the day. That is finally bringing Canadian oil prices to a level that makes Suncor one of the better buys in the oil and gas industry today, no matter the outcome of the Keystone XL pipeline.
