    It’s $.89 at the gas station outside my house in Calgary. Is that because Ontario got rid of its Cap and Trade system? Or do you think it might have something to do with the international price of oil? #ableg #onpoli #cdnpolihttps://twitter.com/stanchompp/status/1079503252339724288 …

    Gas prices are down in #Willowdale and throughout #Ontario thanks to our government’s elimination of Cap and Trade. I have not seen it this low in #Toronto in years! #onpoli #ForThePeople pic.twitter.com/JWkaqeYs2B

        Glad to see so many Canadians stepping up and volunteering to give government even more of their hard earned money. We spend it so well.

        Actually in certain cases the government does spend it better than the private sector. Take healthcare for example; Canadians spend almost half as much per capita compared to their American counterparts while ranking as a higher system by the World Health Organization.

        Blaming or giving governments credit for oil pricing is delusional. Yes they can influence supply (kind of), but global markets are far more complex than any politician claims. Any other claim is deceptive. #ableg #ucp will strip services though.

        For those in the States, they're talking liters, not gallons. Google for conversions.

        This is always my favourite part of the gas debate. Americans angry #Canadian gas is cheaper when it’s 1/4 of their volumetric measurement.

        It’s all relative, the average person in Canada drives 20,000 km a year. Living in a big city like Toronto, 150km a day is nothing. I don’t even do a 1/4 of that now.

        No excuse for the ignorance and lies of these Ontario Conservatives. They don’t know the difference between Cap and Trade and Carbon tax. Please do not make the mistake of voting for the Conservatives. #ontpoli #cdnpoli

        Dream on! Look what a big mess Brexit is! Study Canadian history: Quebec tried twice under both PC, Liberal and even Bloc Québécois governments and they failed. It doesn’t matter what Government. Just don’t vote Conservative because they will take away everything and lie.

        Brexit is a mess because liberal idiots who refuse to respect the final vote have been put in charge of negotiating. Brexit isn't the problem -- just like Alberta isn't the problem -- the problem is idiotic 'progressive'-liberal politicians and the fools that vote for them. : /

        That’s not true. It’s Theresa May’s own Conservative caucus who is not accepting it. Besides, even if Alberta separate, you still cannot build your pipelines without the consent of sovereign countries of Canada and the USA. So back to the same issues. It’s all your non-sense.

        Theresa May IS a liberal. Her 'conservative' caucus wont accept the deal that she's negotiated because her deal SUCKS and isn't what the people voted for. You people have moved so god damn for to the radical-left that you don't even know what an ACTUAL conservative is anymore.

        Gas prices would be even lower were it not for the NDP carbon tax. But thanks for the lesson in economics.
