As Canadian drivers fill up, their wallets are emptier than ever, because gas prices are hitting record highs.
Across the country, records are breaking– about $1.66 a litre in Toronto and Halifax may be hard to swallow, but prices in Montreal have hit $1.79 and Ottawa at $1.94. Then there’s Vancouver, which has now topped $2 a litre for the first time ever.
Mike Drolet explains why the surge can’t be entirely blamed on the war in Ukraine, and why the cost of gas is expected to get even higher.

Government ripping people off at every turn. No surprise.
1.86 today for regular. My god!
We have oil. Stop blaming Russia for price gouging !
Yea humanity will surely extinct before I die
In sweden we have double the price. Because tax is more than 50% of it. be happy
You can thank a liberal for gas prices.
We have Alberta oil but Mr Turdhoe turned the spigot off, go figure.
The government could lower their taxes on gas but why would Trudeau help us in this way?
0:34 SUCH a fake laugh
fan fact… most signs can not support the "2" digit
Blackface couldn't care less… In fact, he's on a jet to Europe while Canadians can't pay for food and fuel.
Orange man good. I sure could use a mean tweet right about now
This is America and Britain's fault, there warmongering and pushing Nato up against Russia's borders coused this, if they had kept out of Europe this would of never happened, there just after Russian oil and gas, we have seen this before with the so called war on weapons of mass destruction and the Afghanistan war, it's the same old story over and over again, and we are all paying for this out of our wage packets here in Britain in taxes , and I'm sick and tired of it, we should defend our borders only and help our people first, there are families who have to rely on food bank's, cancer patients that can't get treatment business that are going and have gone bankrupt , we are Brexit , and that was meant to be out of Europe wasn't it no meddling from Europe in our affairs, this crap by Biden and Johnson is putting all of our lives at risk with there medaling and warmongering , this could cause a Nuclear war with Russia and millions of us would die, if Ukraine and Russia can't get on it's there business not ours here in Britain.
look at fuel prices in kazakhstan… you will be surprised =)
Can we sue the Canadian government over vaccine injuries?
Wait till gas is over 600$ a barrel here in the US
Thank you Mr Trudolf Shitler, one more thing I can't afford on top of groceries and a home.
This continent can produce enough oil – if politicians let it.
Lies greed corruption. I pity the future
As canadian we got it way better then in usa at 4.00$ + that's anerican money I seen a Niagara fall resident leaving not far from the border of Canada cossing the border full up the truck for less then half the cost then if he hade filled up in his country that's telling us how good we have it here in canada we crying for 20cent increases imagine the other side how they feel paying 4.00
lol you voted for him 10$ blaming Ukraine blaming Russia idiots blame your president
It’s 1.86 a litre in Sudbury Ontario. A record for which there is no reason.
You’re lying. What goes on now does affect it. At least the crooked gas station raise their price substantially as soon as Russia invaded. Esso is the major cause of this. Price gouging at its finest.
The system in Canada is so corrupted.
Shadow Government
Oh your going to threaten my business empire by allowing Tesla to exist? I’m going to squeeze every dollar out from now on don’t like it? Go buy Russian fuel.
Since drivers gas tax pays for road maintenance cyclists should have to chip in too
🇺🇸 blaming Russia is a disgrace. Part of this has to do with Biden canceling the Keystone pipeline, also JT still going through with the carbon tax come April 1st
Europe, under the control of America, has long cut off the branch of the tree, the branch on which it was sitting. And now they are surprised. Idiots!
Can you please explain why Canada is sanctioning itself because of what is happening in Ukraine?
Meanwhile, in Russia, 1 liter of fuel costs 0.40 cents.
misrepresentation price of price then in Alberta ask government
Did everyone forget. Within 7-months of trump being president gas dropped approximately 1 dollar from the almost 4.00 under obama. And in 15mo under trump after he came in we were exporting oil and energy independent. Funny how people this covid was the cause of low gas prices. I would say it was if covid started right at the beginning of trumps presidency. Bit it didn't happen till the end.
