As I got out of the car this morning I swore I heard a voice coming from the gas pump asking me to raise my hands and keep them where I could see them.
They finally snuck the price over $1.50 per litre. ( Langley BC if you are curious)
The next target will be $1.60 .
As I pumped ( it was either that or push ) I looked around the station .
The looks on peoples faces said it all.
I looked at the guy across from me and both of us said the 7 words you used to not be able to say on TV.
In fact I found myself hankering for the good old days, you know,last week, when they were giving the stuff away for $1.28.
I shouldn’t have been shocked,after all I have read Jeff Rubin’s excellent series of books wherein he says it won’t be long before gas is up over $2.00. ( perhaps a little longer than even Mr. Rubin thought but still inevitable).
What got me even more choked was that an hour later I passed that same station selling the stuff for $1.38.
Don’t tell me earthly tragedies caused the gas price to rise for an hour, that’s a load of crap.
Plain , pure and simple consumer gouging is what it is.
It’s enough to make even a guy like me who wraps himself in the Canadian flag start carrying his passport for the 15 minute trip to the US to save some money.
How about you?
Nexus. No passport needed. No need to pay GVRD taxes for no Skytrain service. Nk need to pay tax on top of a tax on top of a couple of levies on top of a scam tax which doesn’t rid the world of charcoal (the way the liberals would have you believe it does) anyway.

They got me again. i went to fill up my daughters car this morning it was $151.20 . I went in after the fact to get a coffee and when I came out it was $1.38.
