Gran they are jacking up the price of gasoline here nearly every day. This morning David wanted to start a revolt!! It's NOT funny. Canada doesn't NEED oil from anyone in reality.

Nor does America: we just need to drill it, refine it, sell it and go on; but this doesn't suit the goals of the new world order, which is global governance.

Stay safe up there, L.

The shortage is not in oil, but refinery capacity. You can thank your friendly neighborhood envionmentalist for that. It has become almost impossible to get a permit to build a refinery.

You need a certain amount of surplus refining capacity so you can shut down refineries for repair and maintainance. Demand has grown, capacity has not, and everyone is running at over 95% capacity. No one is able to properly maintain things under that load. A major fire or explosion at a large refinery, and we might be looking at $10.00/gallon.
