asdve23rveavwa Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 With all the oil fields in Canada and it's need to build it's population you would think a max of $2 per gallon and many would flock to Canada to live and work. See, Bob...it goes like this...here in Canada we constantly vote in governments that screw over the people. Doesn't matter what party, Liberal, PC, NDP, they all do it. We could be self sufficient in our gas, but, we sell it THEN buy it back (last time I checked anyways). I love being a Canadian, but, I have no respect for our governments, and, the way we get "hosed" over and over.
knightfisher Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 The gas station I go to hands out a tube of KY jelly with every fill up.... makes it a little easier to take....
bigugli Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Same old same old. Prices jack with every middle east crisis. Has been since the 70's As for the disparity tween US and Canada prices. Answer is really simple. Canadians have become spineless toads. They make noise and then go into hiding.

Governator Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 We don't sell our oil and buy it back. We HAVE To ship our oil to the US, it's part of the NAFTA agreement we signed. We have to distribute our oil/gas equally with the states and their demand is higher than ours so they get more. Most of the remaining oil stays on the West side of Canada as we don't have pipelines to get it to the East. 40% or more of Ontario's oil is imported (Not from the States last I checked). We certainly have more than enough of oil for all of Canada but there are no energy plans in place here to utilize it.
Billy Bob Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Bob.....google Bob and Doug McKenzie. You will understand I seen there act once....funnier then hell..... :clapping:

So no different then down here except we are still blaming Bush for everything...LOL We built a pipe line in Alaska that was going to solve all our oil problems and then sell the stuff to Japan.......Bush's fault...LOL BTW....thanks for all your black gold....keep sending it as I would much rather have my green backs heading to the Great White North then to the hell hole they call the Middle East.
DRIFTER_016 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I checked the price of gas here after seeing this thread yesterday and it seems our price went up 9 cents a liter since Friday. We're still not that bad though at $1.259 a liter.

On the bright side? we pay about half what they pay in Europe for gas.
fish_fishburn Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 If you think gas is the only thing that is going up, just wait a few weeks for the trickle effect to start working.
Whopper Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) I was watching the Toronto news this morning and they mentioned that because of the recent troubles in the Middle East, gas prices have risen about 6 cents a litre in Toronto in the last couple days . That's about 27 cents a gallon. I then switched to an American channel and they said that because of the same troubles in the Middle East gas prices in the States have risen, on average, about 8 cents per gallon. Not true Lew, locally it went up .24 a gallon over night. I hope that makes ya feel better Misty probably figures he getting a deal right about now Edited February 24, 2011 by Whopper
Big Cliff Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 It is simple, if you are Canadian just bend over, and keep your mouth shut, it ain't going to hurt for long, you'll get use to it! What ever happened to "family first"?
LefroyFisherman Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Ridiculous... just what we need when coming out of a recession, it's really going to hurt the tourism up north. Well either way I will still be going up to Temagami for my honeymoon regardless of the price.
Greg14 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 yep....then next it will be the cost of food from the extra trucking costs...cloths...booze where does it stop?
LefroyFisherman Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Until we all work like hell go home and go to bed because we can't afford to do anything
irishfield Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Ridiculous... just what we need when coming out of a recession, it's really going to hurt the tourism up north. Well either way I will still be going up to Temagami for my honeymoon regardless of the price. Be sure to bring everything you need.. as recession.. people spending their money elsewhere and HIGH property taxes have closed just about everything but the LCBO ! No Grocery store.. no tackle shop as Jim has closed for good. If you need a fishing licence be sure to stop back at Angus Lake at Gramps to get one.. Mind you, do you plan to do any fishing? LOL
bigugli Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Found gas for $1.08 today. One small victory in a cheaper run to Simcoe. Government isn't going to run to our rescue. Gotta learn to fend for ourselves like in the old days.
LefroyFisherman Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 What kind of question is that irishfield, of course I plan on fishing, it's all I do all year... the wife is a great fisherwomen aswell
pikehunter Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 A Canadian gallon is only about 20% bigger than an American gallon but our increase is about 3 1/2 times more. That's what we get for living in the true north strong and free....oh yeah, when does the free start? Considered myself lucky last night. Twice actually. After finding out my son was rushed to ER late yesterday afternoon I found out he was OK...they think. Then filled the tank up for $1.14 litre at the Woodward Av., Hamilton Pioneer. All the others were 1.21 - 1.22, even the Pioneer a few blocks from that one was over a buck 21.
lookinforwalleye Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Ridiculous... just what we need when coming out of a recession, it's really going to hurt the tourism up north. Well either way I will still be going up to Temagami for my honeymoon regardless of the price. Now there as true outdoorsman going to Temagami for a honeymoon! If I would have suggested that to my wife there may not have been a honeymoon!
