The federal government’s cut on excise taxes is essentially a wealth transfer to oil & gas. The savings have already been consumed and then some more.
At least we can’t blame carbon taxes this time.
Energy lockdowns will occure if nothing changes.
Is it bad that I don’t care anymore? I’ve accepted that we’re just going to be priced out of life and that no one is coming to save us.
It’s shitty because I just got a new job that pays quite a bit more than my previous job ($5 per hour more) and was looking forward to having more money each pay. Guess I’ll just fuck myself.
Time to take the RTO mandate back to compensate the demand and reduce the gas prices for people who absolutely have to go to work.
I don’t know why they can’t plan and adapt according to the situation.
what is the problem in taking back measures and saying current geopolitical scenarios dont allow rto mandate. just accept it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter…
Highest I’ve seen for **regular** gas at the pumps is $2.15/litre last month. Paid $2.11/litre yesterday afternoon…
Edit: I should go get gas in the evenings, I notice its cheaper. Saw $2.05 at Petro Canada one time, and for some reason a few weeks ago saw it go as low as $1.99
So why can’t we do WFH anymore?
2.25 a liter this morning in the GVRD
Just got my bike tuned up on the weekend… hopefully get most of my commute done by leg power this summer. Still doomed if prices remain this high forever though…I don’t think buying an electric vehicle is in my future.
Maybe the oil companies could afford to not continue raking in billions a year on the backs of society for a little while hmmm? No?
Oh. Okay then.
I think there’s a key piece overlooked here.
What we are witnessing is less about things going up in price and more about USD losing value.
That is the lens in which you can have oil, gold, copper, silver, AND the entire stock market hitting all time highs, despite people’s buying power weakening at the same time.
There’s a lot they aren’t telling us.
Well…that will kill the economy. Thanks Trump!
It’s a good thing there’s always so much push back against developing renewable energy, investing in modern & robust public transportation, building active transportation infrastructure en masse, and providing incentives for electric car adoption, or our country could be incredibly vulnerable to an energy crisis.
I guess I’ll ride my bike!
After years of saving, I was able to buy a 5th Gen 4Runner very recently… I swapped out a very fuel efficient Acura TSX for the gas guzzling SUV… so, this may be my fault guys as the universe didn’t want me to be fully happy. Monkeypaw stuff.
$2.17 here a couple of days ago.
It’s stupid how one deranged idiot can fuck the economies of the world.
As an ordinary consumer, what’s more angering is that this price increase is not reflective of the quantity of fuel shortage among suppliers today but an expectation of shortage in the near future tomorrow. Canada’s non-interventionist pass-through pricing model is more in favour of our oil companies than regular citizens.
Evs and chinese solar panels aren’t so bad eh?
I wish Canada would build refineries and build infrastructure to support oil reserves. To minimize the impact of global affairs affecting us we have so much potential we just dont use it….
and if i had to guess once this oil crisis is over these prices will remain as the new norm.
Good thing the government isn’t getting any tax revenue on gas to keep it cheap for us…
Thank goodness Carney cut the gas tax and all that revenue or it would be ten cents higher!!
Windfall tax on O&G needs to happen NOW. Why should they rake in multiple billions due to war?!
I am just going to leave it here. Here is a list of small, fuel-efficient vehicles discontinued in Canada:
* **[**[**Mitsubishi Mirage**](https://www.mitsubishi-motors.ca/en/what-drives-us/mirage-history)**] (Discontinued 2024):** Formerly Canada’s cheapest and one of the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid subcompact cars.
* **[**[**Chevrolet Spark**](https://www.autotrader.ca/research/chevrolet/spark/)**] (Discontinued 2022):** A tiny city car known for its high efficiency and low cost.
* **[**[**Toyota Yaris**](https://www.autotrader.ca/research/toyota/yaris/)**] (Discontinued ~2020):** Known for exceptional reliability and fuel economy, this subcompact (and its sedan sibling, the Yaris iA) left the Canadian market.
* **[Hyundai Accent] (Discontinued ~2021):** A popular, efficient subcompact sedan/hatchback.
* **[**[**Honda Fit**](https://www.autotrader.ca/research/honda/fit/)**] (Discontinued 2020):** A highly versatile subcompact hatchback with great fuel efficiency.
* **[**[**Nissan Micra**](https://www.autotrader.ca/research/nissan/micra/)**] (Discontinued ~2020):** A subcompact car that was among the cheapest in Canada.
* **[Ford Fiesta] (Discontinued ~2019):** A subcompact car that offered excellent fuel economy, particularly in the ECOnetic models.
* **[Hyundai Veloster] (Discontinued ~2021):** A compact coupe known for its unique 3-door design and good efficiency.

**Why They Were Discontinued**
* **Shift to SUVs:** Consumers have heavily shifted toward compact SUVs, which offer similar or better cargo space and AWD, even if they are less fuel-efficient.
So cutting the gas tax, as predicted, was immediately gobbled up by O&G and has resulted in no benefit for consumers, and no impact on overall prices.
Shocked Pikachu.
So wait, it’s really not because of the taxes? Imagine that.
Tuition costs are rising
Grocery prices are rising
Gas costs are rising
Everything except my wage, or the social safety nets people from marginalized groups get, are rising. I am drowning.
Fine. I’ll pay more at the pumps but that just mean even less discretionary spending. Not that I need anymore “stuff” and will ear out even less than I do now so, too bad.
Conservatives: WHY IS CARNEY DOING THIS TO US!?
We still have about 7 other taxes that we can remove… that might help.
I’m go glad I don’t have to pay for anything at my workplace in the Arctic. It’s nice to get away from the rest of the dumpster fire for a bit.
But Trudeau, I mean Carney told us it wouldn’t keep going up
In this thread: people desperately attacking the Canadian Oil and Gas industry for a global crisis that isn’t their fault, and promoting policies that would destroy the sector, while that sector at the same time is the only thing keeping our economy afloat in the face of this crisis. People forget we dropped our deficit forecast by $12bn purely because of Oil and Gas productivity.
Imagine if we were a fuel importer like Japan. It’s like watching a bunch of 19 year old college tankies discuss resource policy with 2% subject matter understanding 😹😹😹.
157.6 leaving for work this morning, thought eh ill fill up on the way home, 172.1 at the end of the day…
Why the fuck do i even bother having a savings account might as well just put the money in a pit and light it on fire,
Someone called into a talk radio segment on the gas prices. He said that every other net export country has domestic oil prices for their citizens but Canada. We can refine it here for use in Canada, export the other 85% at world prices.
Anyone have an ELI5 understanding or thoughts on this?
Yeah no shit. Gas prices go up for any reason whether we have it or not. Like every long weekend or Canada Day the prices always spikes. Let’s go further. You ever seen prices change every hour like they do for gas? Imagine you go for pizza and it’s $7.99 for a large and then one hour later it’s $9.99.
