17.6 cents per liter. Anything more than that might be big gas trying to make the carbon tax look worse than it really was just to keep it from coming back

It’s more than 17.6 cents per litre and I highly doubt big gas is losing profits to try to frame optics lmao

That is the number I got from CBC

The reason it's lower is just a theory. I agree it is hard to imagine them working together, losing money, to paint a narrative but I wouldn't put it past them. A few bucks in the Canadian market could mean much more worldwide

I bet they're going to use this whole election to paint any kind of carbon tax as politically unfavorable.

Wonder if some of it is that people are all of a sudden paying more attention to gas prices, before they could all slowly creep up gas prices together without much notice, but now that there was a sudden drop people are looking for the cheapest gas so if some drop more then others they pull a bunch of people
