    low oil prices from historic high
    strong canadian dollar
    pricing as if by monopoly not competition?
    who sets price at the pump?

    It's called capitalism, but by buying shares in the oil company you can be one yourself.


    I thought Canada produced its own oil from the nasty tar sands.

    To apply your theory of capitalism, why arn't Walmart and Target doing the same thing? They actually compete and that is Capitalism.

    Yes Canada produces oil but that's for oil hungry. That too is capitalism!
