 @cbebc6e3 @e5fdd91a 

I just paid $5.15 to fill my truck in CA at the Valero Station 
 @cbebc6e3 It's $5.70 USD per gallon here on Vancouver Island. 
 @e5fdd91a do you get VAT added on top? Or is it baked in. 
 @cbebc6e3 VAT? You think I live in ENgland? There's all kinds of taxes baked in, but the price is the price. 
 @e5fdd91a @cbebc6e3 VAT is kinda the same as GST/PST (sales tax). but yeah, missing sin tax, gas tax, carbon tax, rape canadians tax, liberal party of destruction tax, and i think i'm missing a couple 
 @b91dc268 @cbebc6e3 The biggest one is the take it up the ass tax. That one always hurts. 
 @e5fdd91a @cbebc6e3 ahh yes, was that the cretien gov't that put that one in or trudeau sr? 
 @b91dc268 @cbebc6e3 Trudeau Sr when he created Petro Canada. And now his boy is threatening to tax grocery store chains because their prices are too high (due to his inflationary practices). You can't make this shit up. https://twitter.com/i/status/1702526878785974353 
 @e5fdd91a @cbebc6e3 heard this. yes, that's the libtard solution to high prices, impose taxes. dude gtfo there! 
 @cbebc6e3 @e5fdd91a I payed 7.15 USD two days ago (and that was a cheap pump).  Doing 93 miles to go to the office and back.
