Excellent! At over $6 a gallon the Canadian people should be fast on
the road to finding a cheap clean green alternative to gasoline. After
all the left and Obama say that $4 per gallon gas here would do
wonders for the green energy industries. That it would provide the
needed incentive to totally eliminate the need for crude oil. So $6+
should really get the Candians on to finding a fast fix.
Those Canadians are really on the ball. God bless 'em for leading the
way in saving the planet.
We will anxiously await their ultimate solution in the manner of a
gasoline alternative.
All of those liberals up in the great white north must be dancing in
the streets over the obvious decrease in gasoline consumption that
will undoubtedly result from the prices.
Canadians, they really know how to sacrifice for the good of the world
yes?
