You owe us one.
P.S. Go gas up. Iran just cut off France and the UK. Oil is going to go up today.

FAIL.
Smack is trying to show what complete hypocrites some of you are. The ones that scour the papers for every bit on negativity from south of your border so they can run to the forum and say... "Look what those Yanks said about us!"
Then comes a survey that states Canada is viewed highly favorable by Americans and the typical insecure types are ripping mad.
Attempt to join the big boys? Many Canadians were suckered? You guys led the whole thing! We were auxillaries this time. That bombing campaign was all yours so welcome to the bloody hands club.
He just simply hates Americans... politicians and its people. A guy who in every other circumstance rips people about being intolerant of others.
Yes...mind numbing hypocricy.
Well we do both elect our governments, so to a certain extent we are responsible for their wrong doing. Even being complacent when the politicians are doing something wrong is supporting them.

Is this "getting it right"? Is this supposed to "impress"?

Not built in Canada. This is a problem when your equipment is built by the lowest bidder or bought second hand. If this is one of the british subs that I think it is we got royally screwed. Has prince of darkness electrical which explains a lot if you ever had an English car.
I agree with that. However you can't paint another's nation with a broad brush then on the other hand claim to be clean when confronted about your own nations actions.
That should have no effect on us. If it does then our government better find the balls necessary to make a Canadian price for our oil that is based on production cost not world speculation.
Perhaps that has a little to do with it. But as to the person I was responding to... people in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks.
True. I have no qualms about complaining about our governments. I just don't always do it where I get a Walter.
Oh man... it sure will affect us! Without a doubt. They'll raise those prices as soon as they can.
Thats because our complacent whiners will not complain to their elected representatives with letters and Emails. The politicians will kiss corporate a$$ until they realize that people vote, not corporations.
I'm all for boycotting one brand at a time for a month until they bring their price down. Consumers have massive power if they choose to use it.
So true. Every once and awhile they'll bring the Oil Execs in front of Congress and scold them but nothing ever happens. They say the market dictates what the price will be and they have no control.
Free market is free market. When a supply line is cut, prices go up across the board.
Hitting one brand will do nothing when they all buy from the same refinery.
Just as you said... on the news at this moment they are talking about prices going up and could hit $5 a gallon.
I know... but it was an easy prediction... no offense.
I remember years ago during a predicticted gas price hike Bush told everyone NOT to go top off their tanks... F***** U! I topped off whenever I could.
Not entirely, the OPEC cartel doesn't have the power it once had, but they're not set by any free market either. I'd bet analysis would show that in terms of the real costs of doing things, Saudi crude is deliverable in central Alberta for less than the cost of local production.
Why bet on an assumption? That's pretty damn risky.
You are aware of benchmark and grade prices or CBOT and NYMEX market driven pricing?

Yes, I'm aware of those things. I'm also aware that major oil producing nations engage in a degree of supply management, which means it's not a free market.
