Those days are long gone. However, there are rumblings here about why gasoline prices are so high if Canada is an exporter of oil. The response is that because Canada trades its oil on the open market, market prices apply, etc., etc.
Stephen Harper promised at one point during the campaign to eliminate the GST from gasoline (leaving the 10ยข/L excise tax). He has backed away from that stance now saying that the 1% GST reduction he is proposing will, of course, apply to gasoline and that is really what he meant, or something to that effect.
