With gas prices rising to record levels, the Conservatives say they will get tougher on gas stations that have inaccurate pumps.
Be Still My Beating Heart.
Prentice told Mike Duffy Live that a 10-year analysis showed that as many as three per cent of pumps were not accurate. Prentice is proposing changes to the way gas stations are monitored that could take effect as soon as this fall.
However, he did not specify how much money consumers might save due to the proposed bureaucratic changes.
Probably because mathematicians cannot conceive of a number that tiny.
So there you have it, folks. The Tories governing as though they had a Majority.

ReplyDeleteHeh.
Man, I love Conservatives. This is just so "Getting things done for Canadians...ilicious!"
So you think we shpould just quit checking the gas pump merters?

ReplyDeleteThere it is again: the proposition that criticising one aspect of something must somehow mean the exact opposite is what is being recommended.
Reductio ad Taliban-hugging.
I know!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should pass a law that makes it mandatory that the folks pumping the gas must remove their ballcaps to ensure that they are not hiding any dastardly remote controlled gas-pump re-jigging devices underneath their hats.
As for self-serves?
Well, maybe we should force all folks pumping their own gas to remove their headscarves such that the security cameras can get a better look at them just in case they are trying to get away with using phony debit cards that they will then use to set up a paper trail that will allow them to vote in the next election when they shouldn't be.
After all, this is a huge problem.
Isn't it?
