Carbon tax is nuts with a weak economy....he must be in his own dreamland.
Hopefully the high prices at the pump will wake up all Canadians.

Psst! Psst! There's places in the U.S. where average gas prices, when converted to CAD/liter, are more expensive than they are in Ontario and Quebec!

1 CAD= 1.30 USD
1 gallon = 3.78541 liters

BC: 1.321
Hawaii: 1.236
California average gas price: 3.509 USD/gallon = 1.21 CAD/liter.
Quebec: 1.186
Ontario: 1.127

Vancouver: 1.374
San Francisco: 1.236
Los Angeles: 1.236
San Diego: 1.231
Montreal: 1.220
Seattle: 1.141
Toronto: 1.126

Unfortunately, it seems like on the "Gas Price charts" they forgot to convert CAD to USD for cities in Canada, so I converted them myself.

Take that, Canada!

Did you remember to convert the gallons too? You know an American gallon doesn't hold the same volume as a Canadian gallon does, right? So when you break down an American gallon into liters the American liters aren't the same volume as Canadian liters.

All the above figures are in CAD/liter.

I converted the USD/gallon to CAD/liter. I used the US gallon: 3.785 US gallons equals one liter. To my knowledge, there is only one definition of liter used in the world. A liter in Canada is the same as a liter in the US is the same as a liter in the UK, etc.

Exchange rate was as of 1/15, googled from online.

So yes, my conversions are correct. Gas in SF, LA, San Diego is indeed just as expensive as Montreal and more expensive than in Toronto. Gas in Seattle is right up there with Toronto.

This should be no surprise. Indeed, gas in Canada as a whole is more expensive than America as a whole, reflecting Canada's more progressive politics, esp. on the environment. BUT California is far to the left of the U.S. as a whole on the economy and the environment, and therefore its gas prices resemble Quebec's more than the U.S. average.

There might be some truth in that United States of Canada map after all...
