FV623, with all due respect, the nation we call Canada, CANNOT survive with fuel prices like these!
Maybe in the UK you can handle it. With your excellent public transit system, small economical autos, a public awareness and co-operation in terms of pooling, plus the fact that your nation is tiny compared to the average province here. Do you have any idea how many transport trucks are used in this country? It is over 5000km coast to coast. It will have a domino effect on our economy, as the fuel is surcharged on everything from the Post, to food, consumer goods etc. On CTV this morning a comparison was done using last Sept gas prices. About .79L in Sept 2004. Now $1.29L in Sept 2005. An average fill then was $40, now it's $65. The poor taxicab driver's are at a point where its costing them to work as prices are regulated by local municipalities. When is this going to end?
