FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: THUMP AT THE PUMP! GAS PRICES SOAR AS SUMMER HITS HALFWAY POINT!

HARDER TO DIG DEEPER AS THE PRICE OF GAS WENT UP FOR CONSECUTIVE WEEKS HERE IN NEW BRUNSWICK! THE RITE OF SUMMER IS FOR GAS PRICES TO GO UP BUT NOW MANY AREAS ARE GOING TO BE PAYING OVER $ 1.80/ L AND DIESEL IS GOING UP EVEN HIGHER! NEW BRUNSWICKERS PAY SOME OF THE HIGHEST GAS PRICES IN THE REGION. I REMEMBER WHAT BLAINE HIGGS SAID ABOUT THE INCREASE DUE TO THE CARBON PRICE SETTING. HE SAID NO, WE ARE NOT TAKING THE BRUNT OF THE INCREASE, THE CONSUMERS WILL. YES WE DID GET, AND I SAY SOME ONLY , GOT THE GAS REBATE. I AM THE PRINCIPAL DRIVER IN THE FAMILY AND LOW INCOME AND DID NOT GET IT! THEN THE GROCERY REBATE. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE $200. I ONLY GOT ABOUT $ 130. NOW THERE IS NO HELP IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE SO ALL WE CAN DO IS HOLD OUR BREATH, GRIN AND BARE IT. HOPEFULLY IN THE FALL THERE WILL BE SOME RELEIF AT THE PUMPS!
