@dan613 As predictable as sunrise. Cuts to the gas tax inevitably end up a transfer of wealth to energy companies.

@dan613 We ask for a wealth tax and Carney gives us an upward wealth transfer.

@dan613 Average price ??! Don't we have a better measure of "gaming what a region is capable of paying where there are virtually no alternatives" Average doesn't really do it. Gas is $2.19 in Vancouver now. There are more vehicles in greater Vancouver than all of Saskatchewan. Gas is $1.60 in Saskatoon now. Both cities considered the same in an average? Is Vancouver just one of the data points in the average, it may be the most profitable region in Canada ... Average cost just doesn't show us the picture Average, or median cost per vehicle might be a better measure, but much harder to do.

@dan613 big discount on winter-formulated gas before the good part evaporates and blows away in May? If you have any left in the tank, siphon it out into a jerry can, and keep that in the freezer until November.
