Doug Ford blasts "disgusting" overnight gas price hike in Ontario
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 апр 2024
- Speaking at an event on Thursday in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, Premier Doug Ford slammed gas companies after a double-digit gas price increase across parts of Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
“You go out last night and you’re sitting there for 20 minutes in the lineup to get gas. It’s unacceptable,” he said adding that “Everywhere I was going it was a $1.59. You wake up this morning and it’s $1.80. It’s absolutely disgusting.”
The prices at the pumps went up by 14 cents overnight, reaching 178.9 cents/litre at most GTA stations.

Make it mandatory to refine Alberta oil in Ontario, build a couple new refineries here.
I'm like the way you think. Respect!
It isn' a lack of refineries that is the problem. The oldest oil field in Canada is in Ontario.
Too bad we can't cause the federal government is white knighting to the left cause they want a green environment no matter what.
@Dave-gy5mv If it's not the lack of refineries why does Canada import so much oil and gas?
@@EyeSee4.8 Ask eastern Canada. They don't want western Canadian oil. Refineries don't make oil, they refine it.
Speaking of affordability, didn't you campaign on the ridiculous electricity prices? You did zero about that despite being your biggest talking point. Still waiting.
My electric bill is about $70 / month. My water bill is the one that’s ridiculous.
You do realize there has been an Ontario electricity rebate of about 10% on every electrical bill, essentially since Doug became premier? (and I state this not having even voted for Doug last election - I voted New Blue)
Vote Liberal.. you get what you deserve. How can people get ahead ?
By voting for Liberals. Better than the rest.
Finally, a politician speaks some truth!
Who remembers the presser when Doug Ford announced that he was removing rent control on anything that became a rental unit after Nov 2018 , smack dab in the middle of a housing crisis ? That's right , there wasn't one . Friends , you know me , I'm for the little guy , the carbon tax is history . I remember that like it was yesterday.
Cheesecake?
Doug Ford speaks with forked tongue . Higher speed limits mean more fuel consumption and pollution . He is a corporate stooge who is controlled by the rich elites.
Doug should just stop sending tax revenue to Ottawa until trudeau resigns and election is held. Most other premiers will follow suit.
lol. you really think the federal govt controls oil prices? Let me guess, you stock shelves?
@@JJJohnson441 Let me guess you don't understand domestic supply being crushed by the Federal Liebrals. You must be on Welfare.
Stop collecting the carbon tax,
The gas cartel will still climb their prices anyways fixing the problem to the roots is the way to go !
Why would he do that? After all he’s the one who brought in the Carbon Tax to Ontario. He’s a hypocrite. Ford brought in the Carbon Tax, contrary to the misinformation you’ve been fed.
Carbon tax didn’t make the price go up 14 cents in a single day. Stop making excuses for the oil companies.
@@josephsmith594The oil companies are having their earnings stolen by the Trudeau regime. Anybody with a brain knew they'd increase their price to offset what Trudeau steals. 😂 Liberal damage control.
@@josephsmith594 Exactly man !
We are paying $0.18/L in carbon taxes that are absolutely doing NOTHING!
it’s making making someone rich of course!
Tell me you don't know how the carbon tax works without telling me you don't know how the carbon tax works
@@PattyManatty tell me you don't understand how all taxes are misspent in this country without telling me...
Slush fund.
@@PattyManatty So tell me Patty, how do you think the carbon tax works? Oh yeah, Trudeau told you everybody gets back more than they put in.
I have been hearing for long time that Canada doesn’t have adequate refining capacity, and no oil company wants to invest billions on new facilities
Or maybe it is impossible to build a refinery since no one wants one next to their backyard.
Strange how the Americans buy it and sell it back to us. 😮
@carandkarts9558 It's the regulations and taxes that were put in. No companies will invest in Canada unless the federal government pays them.
Canada use to have 28 oil refineries, we are now down to 8.
We will pay a foreign company billions to build a battery plant here with foreign labor but we won't invest in refining our own oil and selling to foreign countries. No wonder our country is falling apart.
Now wait for grocery prices . Trudeau threw snowball, wait for avalanche 😡
you are so Right On Canadians need to wake up from their Political Stupidity
Liberal GREED

If only there was a domestic supply, hmmm
Imagine that😂
The gas price hike is disgusting but barely when compared to the disgusting mess in Ottawa.
Agree with the bluster, but where is the action?
OBVIOUS PRICE FIXING
So shouldn't gas drop 20 cents when they change back to winter gas? Lol
Please do something Ford. You know exactly what’s going on!!!
Just received my Enbridge natural gas bill. 26.6% of the total paid was Carbon Tax. (Fed Carb Charge + HST on FCC).
Scam tax, not Carnon tax.
Ridiculous fee after fee in some provinces,They no exactly where the problem is but they that there will be no change because these huge corporations dictate what happens period...Money talks,Greed...The system needs to be changed completely...Gov isn't there for any of us,only when it's election time...Then it's all about promises...People fall fir their crap...
You can't run a country like this.Damn fix the gas prices
yeah oil companies... why don't you gouge equally like we do except when we charge tax on top of tax....
Does Ford complain about how much the Ontario auto sector charges for a new car?
It's almost as despicable as telling the people you wouldn't sell land and then you sold it to your buddies.
Mattamyyyy Hooomes~
$100 bucks more a month to get to my job in the last two months...
$1200 a year ...
Plus my Propane....
Plus my hydro...
I could go onzzzzzzzzz
As a nation why can't we do something about this injustice? We just keep taking this nonsense. Over and over.
Folks might not be happy as you mentioned but they are happy to bemd and continue bending. It always makes me believe that we posses so much tolerance! 🤣
So why doesn't gas price drop by 20 cents in the fall?
And how much of what you pay at the pumps is oil company profits? Why does no one ever question when they’re being fleeced by Big Oil? Why do they get a pass?
Oscar night in Ontario. Masterful performance by a politician pretending to care about oil prices goes to

If you blame the feds, 99% of the time you are right.
So votem outttt!
Oil companies passing on increase cost doing business due to carbon tax increase, they have employees and contractors who need a raise
How do you solve a problem like Big Gas? (Answer: You don't!) But thank you Premier Ford for at least calling them out on it!
April 2008 Oil Price High $162.00 Canadian - 1 liter of Gas = $1.14- 1.25 ------- April 2024 Oil Price (04/18) $113.00 Canadian - 1 Liter of Gas + $1.55 -$1.69 ... Ya think we're all getting screwed big time all around.......
Right Doug , Its Corporation Greed
Out Trudeau 2025 out 😢😢👎👎.
03.78 Liters to a gallon. $3.80 a Gallon plus 30% for exchange rate = $4.94 a gallon Canadian, divided by 3.78 is $1.30 a liter you would be paying down south.
Yep, I do it every trip. Bring back two 6.6 gallon cans from KY or OH. The average Mushhead can't grasp the concept that they are getting shafted buying canada gas
We may need more that three oil companies in Canada to stop the price fixing.
We do have more than three. There is 5.
@@Dave-gy5mv Oh, I guess all is well then and the gas prices just went up because of some real world costs, that of course always happen over night 😆
@@the1andonly Yes, the price of oil went up.
@@Dave-gy5mv Also they seem to forget before when the price of Oil went up the Dollar did too. Making imports cheaper. Our liberal government uncoupled the Dollar from the price of Oil < for the people that will say no please look it up. More companies were chased out of Canada with the new Government then came. Look up oil Companies heading to the US.
@@Dave-gy5mvOntario has 3
Time for Ontario to leave Canada
He is the Premire what is his plan?????
Come To Vancouver BC it's $2.14 Today
It costs too much to work.
So Mr Ford . Do something about it. Premier Smith would have done something more than talk.
And here we go folks.
Ask Ford to layout the Gas Prices Across Canada, and include all the Taxes on that gas. West to East is a lot different. He is bending the truth, like most politicians.
I just put $50 in 91 today, it's almost 19L of fuel for almost $50.
Thank god I work from home lol.
Thank u Doug for helping the little guys
Why work?
Canada is one vast Monopoly.
Owned by the WEF😮
Try living in BC gas is $1.83 here right now. Toronto has 24/7/365 public transportation, has should be $5.00 litre in Toronto
Dear Premier, pls make bill 124 remedy settkement payments to ops employees which is something in your control!!
Ford should have thought of this when he instituted the federal carbon tax in Ontario. What a hypocrite. Yes, it was Doug Ford who gave the ‘go ahead’ to the federal carbon tax.
Gas compagnie ain't stupid, they have seen the federal budget attacking them.
Higher taxes for top earner.
Who do you think the cost will be pass down too?
Ontario complaining about $1.80. It's $2.10 in BC
It's too high in both provinces
Should be $0.90
You choose to live under NDP ultra liberal BC
And? I'd complain if I were in BC, too. Just because I live in Ontario doesn't mean I can't complain about our gas prices going up. BC's wages are higher than Ontario's wages.
Thats like 30 cents difference .......
Your right Ford
6 different taxes levied...
This is an Irony County. If Canada has vast oil for Canadians, why not start building up more refineries?.. Green Energy is awesome but is not the right time.
Totaly agree with him!
I was fearing 2 bucks at the tanks.. it only went up 11 cents. -_- ive been driving and noticing tankers all month. Prices in gta have been fluctuating like crazy. 1.30 must have been at the Costco tanks💳🤑.
He is being soo dramatic
4.54 litres to a gallon
Time to start going to buffalo for gas since its 5 mins away
Stop blaming companies for your bad policies. It’s ridiculous. You kill the dollar and the economy and then go oh how dare they raise the cost of something to compensate.
canada has always paid higher gas prices than the Us and this is not a surprise as they have charged more per liter than americans pay by the gallon when you do the math. most canadians who have traveled to the US by car or truck have always commented the gas prices in the US are cheaper
If this was India, they would without question light up the streets lol
Ford's not complaining about private health clinics charging much more than publicly funded hospitals for the same operations, (while hospital operating rooms are closed and not staffed due to his budget cuts)!
It’s because of debt … give your head a shake . It’s all because of debt. We are fools in Canada and are paying massive interest on debt that socialism has produced
Ban Boats and RVs
Well I font see Doug standing up for us as premier. Do your job and Get after JT. People need to start yelling!!
Lots of folks complaining 🤣 you are happy to pay, so continue as everything will continue to increase!
Newfoundland is and always done it the right way they charge the price based on what was filled at that time. Ontario should do the same. This is nothing new for Canada. If that tanker that month was 1.50 per liter than it stays that way until next tanker comes and the price is accordingly gas can not go up until that fuel is used up but if that tanker is higher than unfortunately it goes up
Remember when a 3c/l Tax was going to destroy the Economy? ....surprise!!!
When it comes to spending though I think the Ontario, Conservatives should live up to their namesake and stop being a second Liberal party.
Not like eastern Canada is or has helped in anything to do with gas and oil production!! You are the ones that stand behind Jr. so you pay the price…..for everything!! Get out there, make your leader proud, and buy your electric cars!!
You do realize we all have Alberta and Harper to thank for inventing carbon tax………

@robertcross7571 Canada’s carbon-tax history began in March 2007, when Alberta became North America’s first jurisdiction to legislate greenhouse gas reductions from large industrial emitters via a carbon levy. Do you feel stupid? Or do you just look that way?
@robertcross7571 The Conservative government of Stephen Harper won a minority mandate with a campaign that pledged to “develop and implement a North America-wide cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gases and air pollution, with implementation to occur between 2012 and 2015.”
@robertcross7571 if I were you i wouldn’t respond either………..
What a schmuck. Yes. They have multiple tanks they can switch between. By all means, fill you tanks with winter gas with all that butane in it. You will pay for stuff evaporating, and with a greater fire hazard. Gas prices in the US also went up more than 30 cents a gallon when they switched over to Summer gas.
I notice he's not upset about Toronto over taking bc in cost of living lol talking about gas
$9-$10 a gallon, are they for real? 😮
It's very nice to say it's disgusting. For once get up and do something about it.
With 3rd largest oil reserves and our natural resources. Why are we suffering... oh yeah Trudeau
Wow.... Hey Doug, you can never get all the tanks to be empty. If they did, you'd have people screaming about a lack of fuel. They pour the new stuff into the holding tanks and it dillutes eventually to near 0% of the outgoing season. Same thing in the fall. Would think you'd have figured that out by now considering your family business and all.
just keep things with the 'winter' grade gas-
All peoples are victims and hostage a) from government and b) from businesses who always are good "partners" and have goals to "squeeze" as much as they can peoples who live with pension and salaries.
I will vote for him again - best of the batch anyways
Let’s go Trou d’eau!!
Sure Doug your in on it lining your dirty pockets as usual
I dont have a car but i still pay the huge indirect cost of carbon tax way more than what i get back. I have to add another 25-40 dollars a week for the same groceries compared to what i paid in 2021 which is only 3 years ago. Thats way higher than my raises. Everyone is digging into their savings already. Trudeau should have brought down inflation first before increasing the carbon tax
Step down ..we dont need any fords
As a nation that is hydro-carbon “self sufficient” we could regulate price.
It would come at the cost of lower profits for oil companies, but this is what the US does -just last month I tanked for .75c a litre (approx conversion with exchange) in the US while on Vacation.
Ford tried to play ball with Trudeau and look where that got us.
NEWS FLASH ! Owning a vehicle is a luxury. Ask a single parent who uses public transit to get to work.
Doug, “Correct me if I’m wrong”.
Did you actually stand in line at the pumps ?
Not likely, your chauffeur would have filled the limo prior as not to subject you to the time inconvenience. Good story though, tough words, soft on action.
Hey brainiac, it takes fuel to harvest grain and vegetables. Fuel is needed to transport goods to keep businesses afloat. You aren't getting your fast food or clothes without fuel, my dude. It's like someone opened your skull and deficated where your brain should be.
Then don’t drive
Don't harvest grain either! In fact, don't eat at all! Stop all transportation and farming! I like the way you think, smooth brain!
Stop buying gas and start looting

Blah...Blah...Blah... pretends to care about his constituents & Canadians within the province. 🤡 Show for the Masses...
Oh disgusted is he? What exactly is he doing to make our lives any better? He’s paying his staff way too much. There’s already been a report of him overpaying his staff. He’s cutting health benefits privatizing hospitals
Screw Tito Ford.
It will take decades to recover from what Trudeau did to this country… No different then his father, Fidel Castro.. I mean Pierre Trudeau.
Truth either way
Well Mr. Ford it is the cost of doing business in Canada. Everyone wants everything for free so we are taxed to death. If we voted better this would not be happening. We can only blame ourselves for the mess we are in. Debt and immigration and wild spending are what cause all this. Mr. Ford you are part of the problem. So please help fix it. Kind regards.
Vote better or is the electoral system not working? First past the post isn't working - a hybrid system would be better - less manipulated.
I'm not supporting ford but aren't the problems that you're mentioning caused by the federal liberals?
Scamada.
Yeah like Iran is the most technological country in the world... 🤣
" take public transit 😑👍 no worries about insurance,gas ⛽ costly auto mechanic crook repairs 😁👍
hmmm buy more Saudi oil when we have our own in Alta yah clowns
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In Europe it's been $3/L for over a decade. Get used to it. Buy a small car, an EV or at least a hybrid.
Sorry Rob... Its four quarts to a gallon, and five liters to a gallon ! You said four liters ti a gallon. That's incorrect.
The US gallon is defined as 231 cubic inches (3.785 liters). In contrast, the imperial gallon, which is used in the United Kingdom, Canada, and some Caribbean nations, is defined as 4.54609 liters.
Summer gas is more expensive to produce. It has 1% butane and winter gas is 10% butane. The oil companies are still gouging.
Ehhh Europe pays way more a Liter, suck it up Canada is 3rd in oil resources but I quess its labour and production of separation something like that that overweights the cheaper option to get its own gasoline cheaper in closest proximity, kind of weird but. I always thought Canada will be the cheapest and wealthiest and funnest since its so cold and summer season short it would have it's incentives for ever and ever for Canadian's.
Your choice if you want to be taxed way more in Europe.
