I knew it was going up but over 25% in one night with no corresponding increase in the wholesale price seems out of line to me.

Plus, there is no shortage of refined product in the Toronto market.

$1.43/litre in Paris.

It is price gouging.

Oil companies have no incentive to lower costs.

They know that we'll have to pay whatever we need to in order to drive.

The consumer is hostage to the oil industry.

around $1.45/liter here...

I have a question?

If Canada wanted to - do they have enough of their own oil supply to cover just their needs? I know they export a huge amount to USA.

Lucky bastid! I was ata quarter tank & get to my football practice, the other coaches are like "so you fill up?" "I was like HELL NO 1.08 buddy waiting for it to drop back to 1.03!" (which is sad in itself gettin all hot & heavy over a frickin 1.03) They all start laughin their asses off. So then I was all ok this cant be good, they tell me about, I go after practice & put in 25$ to JUST get 20L total rippage.

So would it make sense to tell other countries to fuck off and use our own shit? I would expect alot of it is in exchange for other goods that other countries produce right?

we are in no position to actually do it...we'd need to setup a proper infrastructure...and with all the treasonist cocksuckers selling off theiur huge companies to american interests....we will never be in the position to as well
