Province...I just compared gas prices across Canada. Provinces like BC and New Brunswick which havev the HST are paying an average of 10 cents a litre less than Ontario. Go figure. This morning across the river from Ottawa the price is 9 cents cheaper. Thats in Quebec. The Ontario government does not get a flat 14% fee on gas they get a percentage. So the real culprits are both the Government and oil companies. Governments don't want to impose limits because they lose revenues and the oil companies use every excuse in the book to raise prices. I'm sick and tired of hearing os the unrest in the middle east. There has been unrest since time began. And this supply and demand crap is exactly it. No other companies in the world raises prices because of unress. We get our oil from Canada and the oil companies are treating us like foreigners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
