Long Weekend Gas Prices

If I owned a gas station, I would have a sign showing all the taxes per liter. I would highlight the turdo carbon tax in bold. At the bottom of the sign, I would have customer complaints phone number that would direct them to the federal govt.

Some stations around here have such a tax-ratio sticker on their pumps.

But they're too small to catch much notice and they don't have sock boy's phone number either.

In the interests of full disclosure why not include the profit oil companies are making, the royalties they are paying in each country and region, the tax breaks and direct and indirect subsidies they receive. then we can have an informed discussion about the real cost of fuel.

Not so sure that the Saudis would...

But chucky boy is only interested in smearing Canadian companies, like his post-nationalist, woman-assaulting antifa friends.

Nice guy, chucky boy!

Couple of thoughts. First off I am not in favour of government subsidies to business whether it be an oil company or for Toyota in Ontario expanding an automobile plant. My point was that Canada and the U.S. have a very integrated supply chain on refined petroleum products and what each oil company is making has nothing to do with the difference in what you and I pay for gasoline compared to someone in the U.S. As was pointed the wholesale price in both countries is very similar once you account for currency differences. It all comes down to government tax not subsidy Chuck2, taxes make the difference and Canadian governments want to put more taxes on our fuel with escalating carbon taxes. Certainly will help our competition.
