Peaking? Good thing I'm in the Temporary Domestic Worker program. The cost of driving to work would break me.
F' this. Im buying a helicopter to get to work.
I think the price of gas here equals what I was paying for petrol in England back in 1987, I guess I'm more aware that we have it better than some other countries.
because everybody knows helicopters burn pixie dust for fuel.......... who wants to buy my F150??? Line up to the left

OR, we could get in an up rage over the fact that its illegal to build a vehicle powered by magnets, which essentially would never need fuel. We could start there. All these things Tesla invented, all suppressed to make people rich, and the poor completely broke
Its not illegal...its impossible to break the laws of thermodynamics. If you think i am wrong build a small scale concept and collect your nobel prizes

Except you can't cross Canada in one hour like Old Blighty.
Did not forget. Kind of ironic Canada going down in flames.

Riiiight... like your dividends offset all costs of higher energy prices.
Whole world is going down in flames. It was cushy for a while here, but let's not kid ourselves, in world's history our standard of living is an anomaly.

I also know all of Teslas secrets that helps and my cars and bike are fuelled by rage..
I agree. Watch Game of Thrones for the future state of Earth. Maybe without the dragons.
the world has been going downhill for every generation ever. Yet there is always a net increase in standard of living in the long run.
And yet satisfaction and happiness hasn't kept pace. Every technology, read convenience, seems to have a downside. We haven't seen the full impact yet but there's a buzz in the air, for sure.

Thinking about starving kids in Africa doesn't make me any less hungry when I've skipped breakfast and lunch.
My concern is the lack of acknowledgement and response from our government and general awareness of the consumer community. How high does it really have to go before people stand up and say something?
I can care less what the Queen of England thinks about UK prices.
Im pretty satisfied...
Rich don't care cause, well..... they are rich. Poor can't do anything because they are sheep. Rinse and repeat until some rich individual gets greedy enough to take down another, then stuff happens.
I haven't really seen anyone complain (in a major way) about the current state of prices at the gas pumps. Currently 139.9c per litre, and it's not even summer yet... which means demand is up and so are the prices. What happened to all the anger and rage and "let's boycott Petro on so-and-so-day" chain emails -- 2008??
145.6c per litre in the Maritimes.

The cost of commuting and living is getting a bit out of hand. I can only imagine how the majority of people earning minimum wage are getting by.
People get used to it like everything else. Thats why they gradually do it, little by little, drop it 1.7 cents, raise 2.3, rinse and repeat...
If you guys are upset about filling up your bikes for $20 or you cars for 80$ don't feel too bad. I filled up yesterday for $1693.87...
The better question should be why are we paying such ridiculous tax rates on fuel?
