Look if a president says let’s make more oil and he’s all for increasing supplies of it naturally you’ll have cheaper gas. 
but if a president is anti and cuts of increasing supply of it it’ll rise. 
 

You literally said "disprove me", so I did.  Not surprisingly you attempt to move the goalposts.  Like, seriously, do you guys get a morning briefing on talking points or something?

So trump was all for increasing supply of it and it was just a coincidence that our gas was cheap until Biden took office. Ok

That article literally outlined the exact situation you are currently acting out right now.  Keep in mind, that is Forbes magazine, not exactly a liberal stronghold

Oil is a global commodity. It is influenced by more than just the POTUS. Google OPEC+.

 

Canada gets gasoline from national and international sources (Middle east, USA, Norway, Russia). How does that fall on the POTUS?

 

Also, Biden increased the supply in an attempt to lower prices for Americans... so I don't know what you're on about.

You mean by clicking a newspaper link you’ve disproved me? You know it depends which newspaper you want to believe. Everyone can find a news article that fits their narrative especially for left wing people majority of media is left. According to them Biden has done nothing but good. But facts are evident rather then hearsay by media.

As I said, thousands of beds available for omicron treatment.

 

Pls. also note the source is a recommended and studied recommendation of the addition of beds and square footage in case covid did go bad.  It ultimately never did.  We can be happy about that.

 

But at the same time, we have to realize the 'overwhelmed hospitals' argument is just guilt trip rhetoric and inapplicable, esp. when we're all getting omicron regardless, and yes, a lot of that spread has already occurred as everyone in my circle around the globe can attest to, late December, early January.

 

The reason why the majority of Canadians now want restrictions removed - as cited before here - is that they're not working, plus, they're not even needed.  There's nothing to do about the at-risk other than boost them and hope for the best.  And hospitals, while being busy, are not close to 'end days'- level busy that would require military assistance or something like that.  Meanwhile, everything omicron case-related is either plateauing or decreasing. 

 

All of this together is why all of our Canadian public health authorities are saying things like 'live with covid' and 'endemic' and 'we can't sustain restrictions.'

 

What is this link supposed to tell me?


This list comes from a construction company not BC Health but for the sake of argument let’s assume their number of hospital beds is correct.  The numbers they use totals 5030 beds, of which almost 1/5 are filled with Covid patients as of yesterday. You do realize that doesn’t mean that the other 4000 are empty? Hospital beds were hard to come by even before Covid.

That's not how commodities are priced. Oil is a global commodity.

 

There's many factors in play such as refining capacity. When the economy is roaring back like it is there is a greater need for things like jet fuel so refineries have to switch from refining gasoline to refining jet fuel etc.

 

US GDP for this year is a whopping 5.5% that's the best number since the early 80's.

 

There's no shortage of oil.

Oh yeah...."Hope for the best" is a GREAT medical/public health strategy.... seriously. how old are you and have you learned nothing the past 2, going on 3, years??  :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Yes. I've learned that people online are essentially camped in bubbles while info policers curtail their perceived reality to suit their agendas, forcing the masses noting reality to take to the streets, as they feel they have no choice.

 

It's only leading to much more conservative support nation-wide. So I guess it is what it is. 

 

I called Trudeau's ascendancy years before it occurred, and now I'm thinking he looks like he's almost done.

He should've been done after that first election win (which was more a vote against Harper than a vote for Junior).  Except the Cons keep selecting stiffs.  Jim Benning has a better record hiring head coaches.
