Umm, I beg to differ.  The media were going out of their way on Sunday to
debunk the rumour, providing local oil company spokes people from Irving and
Wilson's to say there are no significant increases in gas prices expected.
I heard news items on CBC, CJCH and in the Daily News to this effect.  Where
do you get your news?

This rumour was completely initiated and sustained by many clueless gullible
minions that inhabit our province, without one shred of evidence to back it
up.   Everyone "heard" it was going up, and people came on here saying it as
if it were a fact.  Well, a lie told often enough becomes the truth.  The
fact such wildly varying prices were quoted - someone said $1.00 a litre,
someone else said $1.50, another said $1.25, then someone came on saying for
a "fact" it was $1.08 in Sackville, and so on - should have been enough for
anyone with half a clue to figure out this rumour was completely made up.

Anyone stupid enough to sit in line for hours to buy gas based on this got
what they deserved.
