WNU Editor: Today's price for a liter of gas in Montreal (where I live) is $1.48 per liter .... or about $236 (Can.) per barrel. So we are getting there. On a side note (for Canadians) ... had the joy of listening yesterday to our environment minister talk about how high taxes on the price of carbon is the reason why the Canadian economy is booming?!?!? Using that logic .... I say why don't we then raise the price of a liter of gas to $2.00 .... or better still .... $3.00/liter .... because afterall, with this type of thinking our economy would then be really booming.
