You get far more back than you put in said no sane person ever.

Quebec canceled pipeline between Western Canada and refineries in New Brunswick, so they can't complain about gas prices now

Crude oil prices go down but Canadian’s fuel prices increase! Hmmmm
-
As diesel fuel goes up even more; all goods like food that are shipped will cost more.

Feel so lucky to live close to US border. The gas there is 1.25 CAD/ltr

The oil companies should be fined $1 million a day for every cent they go over the dollar a liter barrier, and given back to the consumers. This is totally nonsence how do they expect to get inflation under control. The stress of inflation already put me in the hospital, costing the health system several hundred dollar. It also hurts charities as we have no extra money to donate as it cost more to live than our old age pensions give us to live on.

That’s funny because the price of crude is lower..

Gas prices in Quebec April 17, 2024 skyrocket to $1,92. At the same day Crude oil price went down $3.00. This is a R@bbery.

If only they had a pipeline to bring them some Alberta oil we could help them out, who would of thought that might come in handy some day?
-
We can do something about it. Don't vote Liberal or NDP. If you think you have to support either of these parties then just don't vote!
-
There is something we can do about it but Canadians are too weak in the knees to stand up to or for anything.
-
Meanwhile we are enjoying $1.30 in Winnipeg

Oh don’t worry they always do this. People freak out. So they act like it’s a favour to us to lower it a few cents. People settle down. The. They do it again a few months later. Steadily it keeps going up

It’s $2.14 per litre in Vancouver

Electricity prices are regulated in Canada, and I'm saving a bunch of money charging my ev at home, and not buying gas. If the power goes out, I can power the house with the ev. Now I'm planning a solar system, which will give back to the grid in the summer.

When I was in the GTA during the pandemic of 2020 it was 90 cents a liter

Switch to water, it’s cheaper, bring back steam cars. BC has an abundance of water.

Why is it so obviously a scam to sell EVs? How else are they going to sell them? If gas is cheap, EVs are pointless. But if gas is BAD, and expensive, well whadayaknow? Maybe I should get an EV to save my wallet and the world! I’m such a great citizen!
