what the fuck are these idiots protesting? there are no restrictions
I'm guessing after the first go-round, Ottawa's citizenry may not be quite so accommodating
hopefully the cops are a bit more hard-assed as well.

It's just a cover to rail against Justin and the liberals.

Backlash must have been heavy. Mike D is already backpedaling.

Assuming this isn’t inflation-adjusted, $3.51 US in 2008 is $4.75 today.

Throw in some higher taxes (carbon taxes etc. in effect in some states) and some sectors of the gasoline supply chain seeing higher inflation than CPI as well as, yeah, some higher demand for profit from producers and you’re basically where you were.

And even with that and say we want to implement some kind of windfall tax there are dozens of levers these companies can then pull to make up for it and bring us back to square one.

You can go through this guys feed and every day there is a tweet ripping the Liberals.

Dude, you’re single-handedly keeping them in power lol if you want a higher rebate tell Junior that’s the cost of your support.

Seems like every day there’s another horrific story of an attack at a transit station. Going to be hard to convince people to get back on the train when there’s an army of psychopaths out there trying to kill people randomly.

This is all boiling back to mental health issues. We need to have a long conversation about bringing back institutions and having people committed. We’re losing control very fast.

Why are they so insistent on putting more money into the system as if they are unaware that, at the very least, that isn’t going to bring inflation downward at all.

Well to be fair, we aren’t the brightest country in the world

These shitheads saw how much money the first Karen Convoy garnered and decided to jump in the pool. Think 98 degrees to NSync and the Backstreet Boys; complete with mind numbing awfulness.

There's also this. And let's not forget white power.

And? Is the $115 vs. $116 oil prices inflation adjusted? As long as both figures are or aren't inflation adjusted, the stark comparison still stands.

The inflation means that the Oil companies just need to gouge further. Pretty much record profits for most the last 2-3 quarters. But yeah the price hike is all about the carbon tax to some.
