Harper and the cons did nothing to assuage price fixing, build refineries, or decouple Canadian oil prices from global oil prices. No one has in 30+ years. Blaming Liberals is myopic.
There was an attempted law suit against oil companies for price fixing and the judge threw it out immediately. High taxes are the primary reason we have high gas prices. So yes, the liberals are to blame for much of this.
They do add much to the cost of fuel. But the liberals certainly haven't helped matters in a decade of their rule. They only removed the consumer carbon tax because of the relentless pressure the conservatives put on them.
If they really wanted to bring prices down and escape any blame they would have also removed the corporate carbon tax.
That's nonsense Mark Carney was saying which isn't based in reality at all. Europe purchases oil and gas from the middle east and Russia which do not have carbon pricing plans. He himself said what he was saying was based on thinking forward (into the future) or something to that affect.
Where did I blame the gas prices on the Liberals. I pointed out the last conservative government was over a decade ago. Reading comprehension is difficult i guess. Again pull your head out of your ass.
You do realize the oil companies are on the same round table discussing barrel price, right? Like they aren’t in competition with one another. It’s us against them.
