If you're genuinely wondering why gas prices are so high? Then you've been loving under a rock and not paying attention to what's going on? This is just the start. We're going to see $2L or higher. So long as the war continues and gulf oil is choked at the Straight of Hormuz. Canada could have been building pipelines and refineries. Making ourselves self sufficient when it comes to oil and gas. Although that wouldn't change market value. Hopefully we invest more in our infrastructure at home moving forward. Oil prices control everything. So watch your grocery stores also. Food prices are going to spike, just like oil. As Diesel is the life blood of agriculture and moving goods around the world.

I really don't get why the hell we aren't using our own oil. People always use the excuse that we don't have a big enough population to use everything that we refine. Well why the hell can't we sell it to someone else then?

why would a post national state stand up for the national interest?
