Just Got Spanked!

Our illustrious Provincial Government just slapped another 3.5 cent per litre tax on gasoline. Up to 88.9/litre for regular here! That works out to about $3.55 per US gallon. So much for tourism this year!

At 144 litres per tank, that's $128CDN per fillup.........back to the mountain bike for the summer!

I suspect we're paying for our Premier's little Maui DUI faux pas.

They should slap a tax on Wacky Tobaccy and that hair dye that turns your white hair blue.

You guys would be seeing a surplus in no time.

Yeah;

Just got a forwarded email from a friend, seems there's a move afoot to boycott Esso, Exxon, and PetroCanada. Apparently the belief is to target the "big boys" who set the prices, and not buy any fuel from them in an effort to send a message and ,therefore, drive the price back down to something more reasonable.

I'm in.
