Artificially set prices imposed by Canada’s supply management system, writes David Olive, compound our suffering during this spike in inflation.

I wrote the following while reading  htis article…

“gas tax holikdays and other propsed mechanisms for lowering gas prices will only extend the hiher prices (IF INDEED the causing for thhe current recent hight prices ~junbe, jukt 2022, is simple high demand/low supply due to >reasons>>. reducing the cost by gas tax holiday will allow continued or even increrased consumption instead, thus keeping prices high and perhaps go higherm, instead of incentivicing lowering consuimptiuon (big things like EVs, smaller things like suiimple reductiuos anyone can do, reduce triupos, econmaze, take the sdamll car, etc).
but if it’s all just profit takng and such by the big oil then…?
big problem: nobody (80/20?) wants to do much about this, especuially when it impacts them. sure, some will by EVs, some will reduce thyeir trips by combining or sharing triups with others, skip a long tiurip, etc. too few people will willingly do this.
seems to me we have a general populace that is unwilling (again, 80./20 or worse) that asre will to sacrifice in some way foper the common good.
ask Paul about the wine example in the 1990s “When Canada was forced by international law to stop subsidizing its protected wine industry, Canadian vintners spent the 1990s reinventing themselves as makers of lucrative, high-quality products that win awards worldwide.”
