The following is a little story sent to me by a lady I work with. It is true since the big oil companies and our Competition Bureau insist that there is no collusion between oil companies in so far as price fixing is concerned. According to both, the price is solely determined by supply and demand. I guess if you shut your refineries for maintenance during the busiest time of year, yes demand can outstrip supply. Or if you live in the largest Province with the highest population , your gas ,by
DIVINE RIGHT, is cheaper. Especially if you live in the
CENTER of the UNIVERSE-----TORONTO, then yes, your gas is cheaper Or if, you simply want to have your company make obscene profits, then yes, there is no collusion.
However,if you are one of the peasants, hold tight to your purse strings
The Sheriff of Nottingham and Prince John and there is no
Robin Hood in sight.
A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have
An oil shortage here in CANADA
Well, there's a very simple answer.
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
We just didn't know we were getting low .
The reason for that is purely geographical.
Our OIL is located in
Alberta
Newfoundland
Saskatchewan
And
B.C.
Our DIPSTICKS are located in OTTAWA

All I would have to do for "down-here" is change the cities and locations---the rest of it, well, the same old story, just with a different collection of "dipsticks"!!!
Bruno: Ain't that the truth
Unfortunately, for us BOTH, the answer is: YES! And like the sign Lin has on the edge of her blog, you and I both have no choice other than to "bend-over", and make Big Oil SMILE...!
Bruno: isn't that the truth. Grin and bare it.
Oh Lord, please don't let Bruno grin and "bare" it.
You guys are cry babies. The price of gas here in the Vancouver lower mainland is one of the highest in the country, maybe on the whole continent.
People in my town, which is right on the border, go across to the States to fill up. I don't because I don't have a passport!.
Moose,
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you tomorrow. While you are recovering, just be comforted that Mrs. Moose and I will be plotting fiendishly.

Linny, Linny, Linny, Thanks for the prayers.
