Was with a friend over the weekend in Ontario. Gas prices are more expensive than in New York, so we popped across the border to fill er up. She says, “we drill our own here, from Alberta”. If that is the case, why is gas more $$$ than in NY??

I don’t see drilling in the U.S. as a bad thing, but americans might be in for a rude awakening if they expect to see drastic price differences.

When Bush lifted the moratorium on drilling the price of oil dropped from $147 a barrel to $38 a barrel in 6 months but when Obama reinstated the moratorium prices have continually gone up.

“Speculators” or Investors, as normal people call them, look at more supply as lower cost.

Taxes.

Because the government of Canada is socialist, and taxes the living daylights out of energy.

Canadian taxes, and taxes on tax, to support their massive failed experiment of nationalized health care?
