To the Editor,
Re: Gas price reflects other costs, Letters, June 19.
Paul McDowell’s letter was very informative. However, there are many questions that remain unanswered.
Why is Canada going with oil prices set up by OPEC? Do we need to import oil ?
We should be looking at refineries in Canada to produce our own petrol needs. If there is extra, then export that to whoever pays the highest price.
We, as Canadians, or the controlling powers, remain determined to sell off our resources without processing anything. An example is selling whole logs offshore.
Until we process our resources, we will remain “hewers of wood and drawers of water.”
