Unfortunately a lot of western Canada's oil I believe is American Interest.... Which would mean that the US pumps the oil, and we buy back from them or something stupid like that.
We pay A LOT for gas, and if Dion becomes PM we'll be paying even more, the same with heating fuel (which most of rural ontario runs their furnaces on... and there is A LOT of rural ontario aha), A Carbon tax will be introduced, along with numerous more taxes, plus our GST going up. Also, our energy rates are going up in my area, something like 1.9% more in October.
I still don't understand paying that extra money for a flex-fuel car, having an ethanol plant 15 minutes away, and yet there are no ethanol gas stations here... I have never even seen an ethanol gas station!
That's sad and if it's true, as an American, I'm ashamed. I support the oil companies
as free enterprise but I think the oil and mining companies all get too good of a deal,
whether in the US or CA, because of secret money trasnsfers.
Flexfuel is a joke anyways. You should be able to fill up on petrol because CA owns
a lot fo it and you are a citizen of Canada. Why do multinational oil companies get
a better deal than true citizens? Maybe CA isn't the socialist country many of us
Americans think it is.
THIS IS MY OPINION. IF ANYONE WISHES TO DISCUSS OR DISPUTE IT PLEASE DO SO
IN A NON-CONFRONTATIONAL MANER. THIS HAS BEEN A GOOD THREAD.
We didn't buy the truck for the Flexfuel capability, it just came with it... but if there are no ethanol stations then where is the point in the flexfuel at all? Gas is more expensive out west even than here in Ontario.
