LOL, now we all know you don't have a clue....


I am happy to see you are the pure example of perfection.
I never claimed that I was a mathematician I made the error from $100M to $100B. I never claimed I am better than you. All I said is that the F CONS ARE MAKING MONEY ON MY BACK AND YOU THE BLIND FAITHFULL CON IS TELLING ME TO TAKE MY RANT SOMEWHERE ELSE. ARE YOU HERE TO DEBATE, OR ARE YOU HERE TO TELL EVERYONE YOU ARE A DEVOTED CON AND HIGH FUEL PRICES ARE JUST PEOPLES PARANOID IMAGINATION?

Additional Canadian Gas Facts:
  • The federal government collects billions of dollars each year from gas and diesel excise taxes. In the 2007-08 fiscal year, Ottawa collected $5-billion in gasoline and diesel taxes (not counting GST revenues). In fiscal 2004, Ottawa reinvested only 7 per cent of its gas tax revenues into roads. In 2007-08, the federal government will dedicate $1.8-billion to roads and highways. This represents 36 per cent of annual gas tax revenues. The same amount – 37 per cent – will be spent this year. By 2009-10, over $2.6-billion is budgeted for road infrastructure, which exceeds the 50 per cent of gas tax revenue target first advocated by the CTF in 2002. This turnabout is a partial victory for taxpaying motorists. To complete it, gas taxes need to be lower.
  • GST is charged on the full pump price, gasoline taxes included. It is a tax-on-tax. In 2008-09, the federal government will collect $1.1-billion in gasoline GST revenues. Last year, Ottawa collected $1.25-billion from GST on gasoline, eased only by the reduction of GST to 5 percent.
  • The federal government benefits from higher gas prices. Each 10 cent increase in the price of gasoline raises Ottawa’s GST revenues by $100-million.
  • As a deficit reduction measure in 1995, Ottawa increased the federal gasoline tax from 8.5 to 10 cents per litre. Yet, even though budgets have been balanced since fiscal 1997/98, Ottawa has collected $6-billion from its so-called “deficit elimination tax.” In 1985, the excise tax was just 1.5 cents per litre.
  • In opposition, the Conservatives made repeated promises to remove the GST tax-on-tax bite and pledged to remove the GST completely when gasoline prices exceeded 85 cents per litre. In the summer of 2005, Mr. Harper was quoted saying that gas taxes could be reduced by as much as 5 cents a litre.
  • Three Conservative budgets have failed to lower gas taxes although roadway spending is substantially increased.
Socrates, your math ability equals your spelling ability.

Gasoline Taxes Across Canada in 2005


How much tax am I paying per litre? It depends on where you fill your tank. In 2005, taxes in Canada represented on average 35% of the pump price versus 20% in the U.S.

This graph and its rates are for information purposes only. They do not replace the applicable government legislation.

Hey, all you faithfull politicly blind cons here wake up, Harper will f you at the end of the day, like it or not

And a Conservative government bound us to the international price for petroleum through the NAFTA agreement....

What's yer point?

You like paying international rates for gasoline instead of negotiating with regional suppliers for your consumable resources?.....

Mikey, Walter is a devoted Conservative like many others on Canadian Content.
They are here to prove to none Conservative voters that Harper Alibaba and the 90 thieves are better cooks in the kitchen than the Liberals. Elections Canada as you now is on their case which proves that cooking is their forte. They are so transparent Walter loves the Con transparency!!!

Maybe if you debated with a civil tongue instead of ranting with implied profanity you would get more respect. Also if you used some logic, that would help as well. If you can get it through your rock head that the Conservatives don't set the prices, that might help, too.

When a Conservative government "pushes it down their throats"....as I 'd paraphrase a comment by Brian Mulroney.... when it comes to regulating trade to the benefit of American industry.....I'd suggest to you that in fact the Conservatives DID establish the cost structures.

Where did that paraphrase come from?

And its not the government who sets the international cost per barrel of oil.

Hey Risus, with respect to freedom of expression Mulroney is on record making comments about Canadians while the F word was a part of his vocabulary behind closed doors “STUFF IT DOWN YOUR THROAT” was Mulroney’s popular phrase.
The vampire is afraid of light and the cross; you seem to be afraid of light profane language and the Liberals. As for my logic let me tell you something pal, the Tories are worst crooks than the Liberals. The Cons will make you pay for items like election creative refunds as we have witness AND IF YOU CHALLENGE THEM THEY WILL TAKE THE MATTER TO COURT. So when it comes to scum bags f me and telling me I don’t have any say in the matter, well let me tell you again if you like them doing that to you don’t sit here and try to convince others that Socrates is the idiot while you are protecting your confused vote. The Conservatives don’t set gas prices but they sure manipulate the situation in their secret ways to insure that billions in tax they are collecting they keep on coming. There, strong logic on that man. Man I am not off the wall I have made some strong money in my time and I am not broke, but seeing a scum bag get into office and start the secret f ing THAT REALLY MAKES ME F ANGRY.
My great Canadian Forum distant friend.

No logic in your comment here, a lot of acccusations but nothing to back it up.

Risus, do you ever look at the polls? The Federal Conservatives are like a v8 that is running on one cylinder, for your information that cylinder is called Harper. He is becoming unpopular by the minute. He has ministers assigned to various posts but they are not allowed to speak. Harper is the translator for all of them. Now do you know anything about the Canadian Conservative history? If you do you will go back to the days Mulroney came into power with the biggest landslide victory and WENT OUT LOOKING LIKE DRIED UP DOG S HIT. SINGLE HANDEDLY REDUCED THE cons to nothing but ruble. Do you remember that Risus? Now Harper is on a similar path. The transparent Con is so transparent he is about to start looking like Casper the friendly ghost. One thing is for sure is that the Cons are on the way down with Harper the multiple portfolio holder, in short the GESTAPO BLACK BOOT HAS STARTED PISSING VOTERS OFF Conservative or Liberal and that is bad news for the Cons.

That you think $2 a litre is a crippling blow shows your understanding of Energy prices.

Do you know what most of the world pays?

We are in North America the land of the free not the land of drop your pants.
Don’t bundle up other parts of the world. The North American continent is oil rich but the strategy is let’s buy oil from third world countries in order to buy it cheap and sell it to North Americans, tax the f uck out of it and oops we just arrived at gouging land. You can sit here and ask if we know what the rest of the world pays, but we are getting out and out f ucked by a hand full of greedy f ckers doesn’t cut it. In Europe the high fuel is causing demonstrations that shut a whole city down, is that mean anything to you or is your head so deep into the sand that you can’t see reality? :roll:

Listen to you, more mumbo jumbo, just babbling nonsense. Still no substance in your ramblings.

And what do you have to say about McSquinty and his Fiberal party in Ontario???
