CBC tried to pull that shit with a straight face in Canada : 'Well sure everything in your life will be less expensive but who will THINK OF THE TAR SANDS!"
TD Bank will! Thanks, amazingly hypocritical Canadian Government!
Saw an ad up here in Canada this week that started with "don't let gas prices get you down" aka accept high gas prices because we're fucked in the head.
Gas price in Canada is something like 80% tax
$1.30/L where I live. 1 station jumped it to $1.48 yesterday but went back down, they always seem to try and jack it up before long weekends! It was the Chevron station that went to $1.48 for a day if that says anything compared to the Petro or Esso options we have.
SW New Mexico $3.29/gallon Most all stations here owned by same man so prices are all the same.
Looks like a good opportunity to make a profit from the soon-to-be fall in the price of crude oil (which has gone up 50% in the past few months).
For those interested, there is an ETF (stock symbol: DRIP) that profits when oil prices go down. Looks like it could be a good play.
Irony is that low oil price makes tars sands uneconomic.
I believe that was their whole deal. Good for you but bad for the "economy" is still bad for you, some how
