The federally subsidized Canadian price for gasoline, now in the $1.10 range per gallon, has stayed well behind U.S. levels, which are now about $1.50 a gallon. As the gap. widened, border service stations have reported sharply higher numbers of U.S. cars you your problem All the Way! © You getine nght part: stopping for fuel. In ad- dition, the number of cars and trucks making trips between U.S. points via Canada and the number of airplanes stopping in Canada for fuel has reportedly risen. “This represents a subsidy by the Canadian taxpayers to these foreign consumers,’ Conservative MP Harvie Andre said. “They are not tounsts. They are people who come into Canada to fill up their tanks and then go home.” Andre said that the sales to foreign customers had been estimated at 20,000 barrels of oil a day and that foreign airlines alone had received a $5 million to $10 million subsidy. “It is ludicrous to have Canadian taxpayers spen- ding tens of millions of dollars to subsidize foreign consumption,” Andre said.
