Why might gas see a 20 cent/litre jump in the near future?

Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:

On this surprisingly wintry last day of winter, we get an update on the famous falcons of Hamilton! More than seven months after her separation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau is ready to talk. Hertz, the rental car company that announced in January it was selling roughly a third of the electric vehicles in its fleet, is now replacing the CEO who helped build up that fleet, giving it the company’s fifth boss in just four years. What does the latest inflation update regarding February mean, overall? Applicants for Canada’s federal research grants aren’t screened for affiliation with China’s Thousand Talents Program. Dan McTeague is warning us that the Greater Toronto Area could see gas prices soar by 20 cents per litre between now and the May long weekend, continuing the upward trend in the region. Vaughan Mayor Steven Del Duca is calling on the city to approve a bylaw that would prohibit protests outside places of worship, schools, and child-care facilities that “incite hatred, intolerance and violence.” Home invasions are a growing concern in Canada, with increasing reports of break-ins for auto thefts and residential burglaries in some big Canadian cities.
