Gas prices in Victoria B.C. Canada · Tuesday January 2, 2007 by colin newell

they fcuk you at the pumps1.06.9 One dollar and 6 point 9 cents

Brilliant.

Highest price in Canada.

I read a quote read somewhere locally:

“When there is an abundance of supply chasing too few dollars, the price at the pump must go up…”

Now in Victoria, the other rule applies too:

“When there is a shortage of supply chasing too few dollars, the price at the pump must go up…”

So. You see our problem.

In Caracas, Venezuela (My colleague Al was there for 10 days…), the price at the state owned pumps (sourced from state owned refineries… kind of like Petro-Can) was 11 cents…

a gallon.

11 cents a gallon. And the Venezuelan State owned oil companies have been reporting a profit for years.

So. At the gas pumps in Victoria, B.C. Canada, we do not get gassed. We get fcuked.

Plain and simple.

Chug a lug.

Saddam Hussein hung... · Friday December 29, 2006 by colin newell

He is dead.

Not entirely sure this was the right thing to do for the people of Iraq.

The country is mired in civil war and this could spark even more misery.

God have mercy on the people of Iraq.
