There was recently a poll about the oil companies operating within Canada,
asking if they should be nationalized and run by the government. Over 50%
of the respondents agreed that it would be a good idea.
I'm sort of surprised that the number was actually that low as the prices on
Can. gas right now are so damn high.
In my area, it's $134.00 per liter, which works out to $5.08 per gallon in
Can. $$$.
With the exchange, it's $4.28 per gallon USD.
It's also funny because the leader of the politically right party in Canada
was on the news berating the party that is in power of the fed. gov't. right
now for not lowering taxes during "this time of hardship for the Canadian
citizens".
He didn't say a damn word about how the oil companies are gouging us all
though. Maybe that's because he's based out of Alberta where there are
massive fields of oil resources and most of his campaign contributions come
from oil companies. Jackass....
