 My house is hot water heat with a propane fired high efficiency boiler. When we bought the house I never thought about the cost to heat a glass sunroom! The boiler this time of year runs all night to heat the sunroom. Being hot water heat it needs to be heated or the heated floor will freeze. Due to the cost of the propane I may disconnect the heat from the sunroom and drain that circuit. We very seldom use the sunroom. Its really a spring/fall room. Its too hot in the sunroom in the summer months.

I know there was some kind of deal re Canadian oil pricing pricing between the oil companies and and the government several years ago; but why are we paying world pricing for our own Canadian oil ???.

Because the majority of our gas & diesel comes from US refineries.

We don't have the refining capacity to produce our own fuel so we sell crude oil to the US, they refine it and sell it back to us.

It'll get worse as the US moves to eliminate Russian oil.  And Canada can't make up much of the shortfall because there isn't enough pipeline capacity.  

And many of the US oil companies are resisting increasing their own production, preferring to use this opportunity to force the reinstatement of pro-oil, anti-environment laws brought in the previously.

 thanks for clarifying that for me. So now the line runs as far as Montreal but it was suggested that the Irving refinery (in New Brunswick) would help with the

shortage;  Quebec said NO to extending the pipeline across Quebec !

Hope I got that right because I don't want to p*** any one off.

Sorry guys. I fact checked myself. Canada produces most of its own gas & diesel. But does import . There are geographic regions whose gas & oil is predominately imported, such as Quebec & BC. I live in BC, which Ill use as an excuse for my error

Note that a bunch of the gasoline imported to Quebec gets sold in Ontario.

Refineries are an oligopoly to a degree in North America and no one wants to build a new one, so we are reliant on US refineries for finished product. On the other hand, the USA are by far the biggest customer for Cdn oil and gas. Atlantic has only 1 refinery in Saint John. We had one in Nfld at Come By Chance but it closed at the start of Covid when oil prices dropped into the basement. It is not being started up again to produce aviation and diesel fuels from plant based waste and animal fats.

Quebec did put the kibosh on a pipeline extension to Saint John.

Canada is exporting 6.5 times more oil than they export from what I read.

Correct, but all Canadian refineries are operating at capacity and no one applies to build a new one. Imperial Oil closed one in Halifax years ago, refiners enjoy the pricing spreads they get by keeping capacity where it is now. Why build a new one and have more competition and lower spreads.

BC certainly has the same problem as Atlantic Canada, one oil refinery. BC also has the largest refining spreads in Canada, likely in North America

Oil trades now in parts of the world where it is Monday, currently US$125.60 for WTI. May drop before it trades in Canada and the USA tomorrow morning but thats likely moving gasoline up a lot. Well see. Feb 22 it was $92 so up 35% in less than 2 weeks.

Gasoline is 1.91 per litre today in St. John's, NL. It might be cheaper at Costco but I haven't been there since the price went up a couple of days ago
