Answer 9

Yes Canada Has Cheaper Taxes & Health Care But Not Gas Prices

Answer 10

Canada has enormous reserves, and it makes no sense that we are paying so much.  We sell gas to the US then we get screwed at the pumps.  Crazy.  It is also strange that, while there is a refinery where I live, the gas prices are higher here than in neighbouring towns where there is no refinery.

When prices go up in the US, then we can be assured that prices will rise here as well.  If the government cared about the hardship created by these prices it would reduce the taxes on it.  

Answer 11

Everything is more in Canada.  Something has to pay for the socialized medicine!
