Ain't it though ? One might almost think we're living in an economy run by a select few to benefit only a select few. Brings out the lefty in me.

Has me seriously thinking about the need for removing fuels from the commodities market. A Made in Canada price for domestic needs, based on cost of production and distribution, with our needs being met before any product can be exported at whatever price the market will bare.
…and he realizes the truth.
You must be pulled from the Matrix now, and placed in a new pod.
Your math is correct, your logic is off. From $1.50 to $1.85 is an increase of 35 cents, which is 23 percent of $1.5. From $1.50 to $2.00 is an increase of one third, or 33%. You're using $1.80 as the starting point, when it's actually $1.50.
Every rise in gas prices has a coresponding rise in GST and PST . Politicians will cry crocodile tears and do nothing , they want and need high prices . Same thing with the housing market , outrageous prices make governments money .
When I left Vancouver 2 weeks ago it was a $1.80 and there wasn't a war. Now it's $2.
That too logical for ya.
Fuck it.. hope it goes to $5 in BC and Ontario.. they voted for this limp dick Prime Minister we have
Still a significant increase, and other parts of the province have certainly not fared as well. My question remains, what is the justification for domestic price increases when domestic supply and demand are unchanged ?
So, nationalizing the oil and gas industry? I knew you weren't a real conservative.
I’m surprised Dictator Trudeau has tried that, like his daddy..
Common sense is way over your head. It is not nationalizing, it is looking out for Canada first.
For those of you that are too simple minded to figure it out for yourselves, it isn't the producers that are raking in the money, it is the parasites that own nothing but a cell phone and a laptop playing with the markets. What happens overseas or even in the US has no bearing on the cost of production in Canada. All this just plays into turdOWE's hand when he pushes electric vehicles with huge taxpayer financed incentives.
Yep, the hatred for free-market capitalism runs deep in American and Canadian commuservatives. You can tell by the fact that all their flags are made in China.
The gasoline commodity markets we're in are massive. 3 or 4 cover North America and even the fringes of Europe and Asia.
Get a map of the markets and an agriculture maps
It's spring, demand for diesel has skyrocketed thanks to farming season kicking off.
In South America and Australia it's harvest.
Shit is on the move.

You are suggesting the government tell the different companies along the supply chain what to charge. By any other name that is nationalization, simpleton.
