Yes....we are.
And, as one of the world's biggest suppliers, why do you suppose Canadian Gas is so high?

Supply and demand. Unlike countries like Venezuela or Iran, the Canadian government doesn't subsidize gas down to 20 cents a gallon just to appease the masses.

NAFTA...Canada is the largest supplier of oil and gas to the United States. Nafta is what keeps our prices as high as yours. Gas should be cheaper here because we have it, but due to Nafta it isn't. We have to pay the same as you. Thank God water is excluded from NAFTA.
