Subject:Fuel Price Gouging - Again - It jumped nearly $1 locally

So Jim, you're paying $1.12 cdn per liter. Here, in Edmonton AB
Canada, where your stinking cheap oil comes from, we are currently
paying $1.38 cdn per liter.

You guys are really subsidized.. The worst part is that most Canadian
oil companies are US owned so not only the oil but our money gets
exported to your side of the 49th.
