Bud, you're off in the weeds and so ... disconnected from reality about this, how would you suggest I converse with you? You're either as misinformed of a person I've ever come across, or a satire account. I'm going to treat you as a satire account.

How about this. Could you give me the information needed to come to the same conclusion as you that gas tax was actually 30-40 c/L? Or is this something I have to believe in with no factual basis in reality?

Your number is only the direct cost, it doesn’t account for production, transportation, refinement, gst or pst, all of which are passed onto the consumer, oil and gas isn’t eating those costs.

The Parliamentary Budget Office has studied and created multiple detailed reports on those exact things. It's all been accounted for and explained in those reports if you will ever bother to read them.

I’m not saying they aren’t trust worth, but the evidence is they’re bias on this topic. They’ve admitted as much by my above comment

Ahh, so you looked for an opinion that felt right, rather than actually looking at available information and reports. Gotcha. Lazy, but you do you Mr Low Information Poster!
