That study is still going on, that is what my MLA office told me. We need a referendum like they have in the states or start a class action lawsuit.

We have a world of ignorance being spewed here. To much fun. Being overly confident in what you don’t know is to much entertainment. Well some stuff is guessing by some posters but the prices are public knowledge. Hell even the oil price and gas surplus is news worthy just not the price we pay here or why.

How much is the government take? How much do the retailers make? Many components in a complex industry. People try to simplify it by focussing on crude cost.

Are you actively protesting for lower gas prices? I bike to work regularly, but sometimes just need to drive places... it's been a while since gas was under 1.20 in my area let alone under a dollar..
