    Please explain gas price increase?????

    Can anyone explain the reason for an increase...wouldnt the refineries bought their oil supplies for months at a lower price?

    They always say it takes time to work the high price inventory through the system ....but the low price is over instantly...

    Oil is no more than it was in the 70s and 80s and there is no way gas was close to a buck a litre back then???


    What gives and why is no one looking out for consumers in general...

    I always tell people that get annoyed about farmers fuel prices.....don't worry about what I am paying worry that we are all paying too much!!!!!

    CERB ..... its like trying to buy fertilizer with $8 corn prices. Extra disposable income is not going to be left for the consumer. I figure by next winter the cost of living will increase by the exact same amount govt is handing out. Oligopolies everywhere in this country, you can be damn sure this payout isn't for the average person.

      But but but ...macdon02....they are also giving money to the large corporations as well...

      Is no one monitoring the fact it is a double for corporate Canada...they get the money from government that will be forgiven.....and they increase prices to the consumer...

      Is every politician that stupid? Provincial and federal???/

              It’s a long weekend. Of course prices would go up.

                Covid cash = kayaks, campers, boats, camping and gasoline. Highways, lakes, campsites are all busy....city folks with all the toys don’t care about a virus from China. 🦠

                Looks like Air Canada with a Quebec HQ is now asking for millions/billions of extra bailouts. Count on our PM of Quebec to drive them a Brinx truck and help the national debt hit a trillion.
