Have you noticed that since the pandemic/inflation the price of gas in Canada moves up and down regularly in 10-20c increments rather 1-5c increments?
This is inflation of a different kind: It's inflation of expectation. I challenge anyone to prove that it is anything but oil company profit-margin motivated. It sure as heck doesn't have anything to do with Carbon Taxes. But hey, if it makes a lot more people think about ending their relationship with oil companies, then good for us.
