@dmacphee Profiteering IMO, as they wouldn't attempt this type of gouging without the war...and another example of why our system of government and the rules by which our politicians operate need to be reset.

Definition of PROFITEERING

The meaning of PROFITEERING is the act or activity of making an unreasonable profit on the sale of essential goods especially during times of emergency. How to use profiteering in a sentence.

Canadians trapped by conspiracy of climate denial, CBC Liberal Party Conservative Party, banks, bought politicians from Nova Scotia to Vancouver Island.

Preventing solar construction, preventing wind farms, blocking EV imports (maybe next year?) Expanding pipelines, exploration, getting trapped in world wars.

Oil price theft, forest fire, storm, drought, and wars.

Canadians are trapped in oil hell by CBC

How to get out? Build solar, wind, grid and battery.
