So last year for a seasonal fill up they wanted 61 cents a litre, this year $1.03, not real happy with an increase this size.
I was pondering switching back to the old two 100lbs tank system I had before but started adding up the costs two 100lbs new tanks would be about $500.00, fill up about $220.00 for both and hook up probably about $300.00.
Maybe check around with other suppliers. I haven't seen that sort of price jump around here. + carbon tax of course. But that's Justinflation

With regard to your last comment you can blame one person or government if it makes you feel good, but this like inflation is a Worldwide problem. Folks in Great Britain are going to see a 80% increase in costs for home heating.Quote:

So that is about $9, 289.00 to simply heat a home in Britain.
When I was in the UK prices for gas, diesel and propane was about the same as ours.
Our price to heat our home is currently 85¢ per litre. Our supplier has given us the option to lock in at 90¢ to avoid any increases over the course of the winter.
costco is cheap if you are close
You must of filled up just before the large increase last season.

Kind of horrible that the sanctions in place backfired. Russia sold 97 billion in energy exports in July . China is aggressively selling Russian fuel at a higher rate . France will cut off its Russian gas for not paying its bills come tomorrow .Quote:

Germany is scrambling for firewood and the west was just warned if they keep interfering they can expect next winter to be the same.
Our gas prices are expected to be hiked too next month then come January it will go up even more when they lift the credit. As inflation continues to rise over the next year and housing drops another 25% or more we will feel the pinch.

I just wish someone could explain WHY the prices of gas ,propane and ESPECIALLY electricity goes up here,in Canada?
We do not buy from Russia anything.
We sell our oil overseas(apparently due of not fitting for use in vehicles)THEN we buy foreign oil(fitting)
There should be ZERO impact on Canada.
The gas-we have it huge-so why the prices go up?
Electricity- same,we sell to USA.
Where is the Government to stop this nonsense?
Can anyone explain?
I see today on the news that Alberta will have a 13 billion dollar surplus as a result of the higher energy costs so there is some good news for folks out west who have been suffering .Quote:

Well I guess its like any commodity, goes up and down on the World markets, the trading is outside the authority of Governments its the free market, so some folks are making big money on speculation. IMHO it would make no difference which party was in power.Quote:

It is NOT unheard of in the world ,to have Contracts re negotiated............
My crop this year appears to be on the smaller side about half the size, I will probably pick this weekend and see how I did, garlic and squash did pretty good.Quote:

So please let us know-why the Government CAN NOT interfere THIS TIME? : in a name of-Protecting Canadians?
I’m not against it. I happen to be in PEI right now and the Provincial government sets the minimum fuel price weekly. We have always had a mixed control economy that I can remember. China has a fully state controlled economy. I just find it curious is all. But there also those that seem to think that Biden and Trudeau get up every morning and set the price of fuel. Plays to their narrative. It’s wrong, but that’s doesn’t matter. So I just wanted to clarify that on fuel prices, you were arguing for more government/state intervention or control.
Thanx CT- i absolutely do not think them two set prices.Quote:

Definitely we need more intervention.Now.
Just look at EU-sad site of Bureaucrats running a whole continent into the ground.
Even them "smart"ppl in the power start SLOWLY to realise(not from their good heart i would guess,but from "fear")that the Hydro energy is generated by using different means=fuel(nuclear/water/solar/wind /coal AND natural gas too).They now start to poke into this,stating it is UNFAIR practice from THEM big companies generating Hydro by other means then natural gas,to ride the wave and charge HIGH hydro prices because the price of N.gas is high.
Eventhough this economical condition does not apply to them.
Now-after several month of wakey-wakey,they are thinking to "separate"hydro prices from N gas prices(???!!!)to drive at least "other"hydro prices back to reality(or so they say)
Just an example of where a GOOD Government could have/should have intervened months ago.
Not yet but I will be soon when I visit them locally, not budging at the corporate end.Quote:
