    You know what’s absolutely disgusting? The leadership in this country
  • @zarkarta
    South Korea with 0 oil = $1.65. Canada the 4th largest oil producer = $1.80 or more. Hello?
  • @M1lls43
    During the height of the pandemic, I could understand. But now? It's just greed.
  • @Rennette-td2mq
    Ya right Doug and the taxes imposed by politicians aren't part of the problem
  • I hate when a premier and prime minister get up and complain about companies misbehaving as if they have no legislative power.

    Who needs a colonoscopy when you live in Canada.

    You know what’s absolutely disgusting? The current leadership of this country
  • @voyager7
    You're right Premier Ford...but DO SOMETHING about it!
  • @pilbomags488
    He's all onboard with this, don't let him fool you

    Corporate greed is everywhere, not just oil companies. Same in housing, groceries, utilities, all aspects of life. Heading to a 2 class society. 😢 10% rich 90% poor. The beautiful middle class is dying by design!
  • Same as charging more for diesel. Costs less to produce diesel but our politicians say it costs more
  • Instead of appealing to the low intelligence crowd with terms like "big oil" maybe call out the actual company names.
  • @lukesmith9144
    Why is the gas price way cheaper in NY state for the exact same fuel from the same companies if "big oil" is the culprit?
  • I don’t remember the price going down last fall when we switched to winter gas?
