Average U.S. retail gasoline prices crossed $3 a gallon for the first time since November on Monday as the conflict in the Middle East worsened, setting up a key test of public approval of President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran, analysts said.
Tehran’s retaliation in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes has disrupted global oil supply, as it hit production facilities in neighboring countries and ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a key global trade route. Oil prices have surged, with Brent crude rising more than 5% to nearly $77 per barrel, and fuel prices moving up in tandem with the feedstock costs.
Yeah, but you guys pay more because it includes taxes which go towards things like health care. We pay way more when you take into account what we don’t get.
US has gas taxes pay for roads.
Canada pays for roads through other taxes so that even people who don’t use them pay.
Canada sends our oil to the US and then buys it back. That makes up a lot of the difference.
You might pay more, which I doubt, but at least you have a functioning healthcare system. We pay crazy level taxes for “free” healthcare where people constantly die waiting in emergency rooms 🙄. They say Canada is a “rich” country. They are wrong. The Canadian government is rich from soaking Canadians dry with taxes upon taxes!!
