On 🇨🇦's west coast we are paying close to $2/lit for reg. If these folks had their way, we'd be paying over $3/lit. Next time you have to pay $100 at the pumps for 1/2 a tank of fuel & then empty you wallet buying groceries, think of these 🤡🤡🤡.

The 🇨🇦$ is already below 73 cents 🇺🇸 despite strong WTI prices.
