Highway Robbery

I filled up my car yesterday!  I noted that the price of gas at the gas station I use in the city increased its gas prices by 9 cents per litre overnight!  I don't understand.  Someone tried to explain that "supply and demand" crap to me.  I still don't understand.  Both of the leading political parties here in Alberta say they're our resources.  So why does it cost more for gas here than it does just south in Montana.  Most of the gasoline comes from here!  They say the price of gas may hit $1.60 per litre in the summer.  That's crazy!

To heck with supply and demand.  Albertan refineries make gasoline from our Albertan oil right here in Alberta.  It doesn't cost them $1.60 per litre to make it.  It probably doesn't cost them 25 cents a litre to make it.  So where's all the money going?  Somebody's making a whole peepot full of money at our expense! 

Another question for our political candidates?
