Getting it up the HOOOOP Once Again!!

Here we go again!  Don't you just love summer in the Okanagan.  We were back in town for less than a week and gas prices went from $1.26 cent per litre and yesterday, they jumped to $1.36 for no apparent reason other than another Calgary oil exec wants to buy a house on the lake!!  I can hardly wait til we come up with an affordable solar car and we can tell big oil to "F" OFF!  After all, they have been srewing us for decades. Something has to give here or the average Joe will by using 1/2 his pay cheque simply to gas up the car.  I am all for free enterprise but this is gouging plain and simple.

Check out the price of gas in Saudi Arabia!!  Recent gas price at the pump $.61 cents/gallon,  Don't they still rule OPEC?  Compare this to Canada at $6.00 DOLLARS/GALLON.  Now tell me something isn't screwy here??

RECENT UPDATE!!!


Glad I waited a day before I posted this article.  With a long weekend upon us, gas prices rose this afternoon to $1.44.9/litre, just to really stick it to the tourists, never mind the locals.  I realize that we as Canadians are the most passive nation in the world but when are we going to have the guts to demand a stop to this!  Stephen Harper, have the guts to stand up to these blood suckers. I'm an Albertan too but enough is enough.
