In fact, our writer and editors did not even stop to think about things for a minute, before priting that ridiculous amount.  The pipeline will be filled with more than four million barrels of oil.

Sooke has Canada’s highest gas prices now, with the most expensive stations charging $2.03/litre this AM. I can find $2.00 as the highest price elsewhere in the CRD.

There are a few opportunistic stations on the mainland at or slightly higher, but that’s also with much higher gas prices than what we pay on the south Island. I’m sure there are a few ultra rural stations charging more.

Ottawa’s prices are $1.50.

The Alberta fund was valued at $14-billion in 1985
As of year-end 2021, the market value of the Trust Fund had risen to $18.9 billion.

Corruption or incompetence. Does it matter?
