They said blatantly it's supply & demand.
15 facilities have temporarily shut down due to "cold weather" and the Exxon mobil plant explosion, they are running lower on supply, and demand hasn't changed.. So the plants that are still running have up'd the prices to cash in.
Fucking Murica.

Was just reading this: Gas prices soar back above $1.30 a litre in Vancouver Quote:
There are still deals to be had south of the border in Bellingham or Blaine. The median price for a gallon of gas in Bellingham Monday morning was $2.939, equivalent to less than $1 a litre.
On this day a year ago, gas prices in Vancouver stood at $1.366 a litre. In the meantime, oil prices have been slashed in half, from about $102 a barrel to $49 a barrel. | WTF man... Crude was $102/barrel same time last year, and gas was $1.366/L at the pump. Now it is $49/barrel, and it is still $1.319/L at the pump.  | |

Crude =/= Gasoline.
While the two obviously share a lot in common, their prices are very much independent still.
It's like saying; "Hey, a ground beef has only gone up in price by 50% in the past 10 years, but burgers from mcdonalds have gone up by 150% in that same time period... WTF!?"
Sure ground beef is a big part of that burger, but it's not the only ingredient, nor does the price of the ground beef have anything to do with the labour to make the burger, and other highly important costs to that item. Quote:

Vancouver has highest gas prices in North America
Vancouverites are waking up to the highest gas prices in North America.
After plunging to 98.9 cents per litre on Jan. 17, the lowest price in years, Vancouver’s average gas price has rebounded in just weeks to $1.319 per litre.
“As of today, you have the highest gas prices in North America,” said Dan McTeague, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com, which tracks prices continent-wide on its Daily Fuel Price Index.
“It’s partly because of the high taxes. At $1.319 a litre, you’re paying 48.5 cents a litre in taxes.”

|  Yay lower gas prices!!
If we didn't give oil, timber, water, and whatever else the US wants for next to nothing, we wouldn't be in this mess. The day China stops wanting our coal, our resource industry is fucked.
LNG will be the only thing left if we make an industry out of that.

LNG will be the only thing left if we make an industry out of that. | We only export 5.5B/year worth of coal, not overly significant considering our total exports are around 500B/year.
(As an FYI, 73% of coal exports go to Asia, statscan does not specifically state how much is exported to China but we can assume it's certainly the majority)
Canada's top ten exports below, accounting for approximately 66% of all exports.
Oil and Gas: $128,926,515,000 (27.2% of total exports)
Vehicles: $59,753,479,000 (12.6%)
Machines, engines, pumps: $32,600,025,000 (6.9%)
Gems, precious metals, coins: $21,518,760,000 (4.5%)
Electronic equipment: $13,639,592,000 (2.9%)
Plastics: $13,192,128,000 (2.8%)
Wood: $12,686,263,000 (2.7%)
Aircraft, spacecraft: $12,409,459,000 (2.6%)
Aluminum: $8,865,363,000 (1.9%)
Cereals: $8,774,059,000 (1.8%)
Honorable mention for Oil and Gas:
Annual Exports (2013)
$128 billion
29% of Canadian domestic merchandise exports
92% ($118 billion) of total Canadian energy exports are to the U.S.
Oil and gas domestic exports totalled $117 billion, of which 98% were to the U.S. (Why we need gateway lol) http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/sites/www.nrc...ketFacts_e.pdf

Probably because we don't refine too much of our oil, and our Canadian dollar is low

Not quite, the majority of gasoline in the GVA comes from Burnaby Chevron refinery... nothing to do with USD.
It's a supply and demand thing, refineries make gasoline constantly and store surplus when they have surplus - price goes down. In the summer travel jumps considerably and as supplies dwindle the price goes up.
It's seriously that simple.
