  • It goes from the refineries in Edmonton to where ever it’s going. Even if you had a refinery onsite, you need to get the crude to another province either by truck, train or pipeline. Moving it thousands of km isn’t free, despite whatever passes for your economic knowledge. That’s why gas is almost $4/L in New Zealand, to use an obvious outlier to illustrate the point.

    Yes, BC has higher fuel taxes. But your supposition was that “If gas taxes have no impact, the price of gas would be the same in BC and Alberta.” Which is utter and complete nonsense.





  • If he were Prime Minister right now, we’d be so far up Trump’s ass we’d be attacking Ukraine and be the boots on ground in Iran.

    I have no clue why the CPC party renewed their support for this dribble that lost them the last election that every poll said they had a 20 point lead going into, and had to be re-run in a stronghold riding to keep his leadership afterwards.

    Then his “leadership” drives enough of the remaining MPs they retained over to the Liberals to give them a clear majority. In any reasonable party, he wouldn’t be holding a mop in the party headquarters afterwards.

    His incompetence was the best thing that happened to Canada going into the lunacy of the present US administration. We’d have been so thoroughly fucked if he were in power, I shudder to think about it.
