It's your own fault -- I mean Canadians collectively, not you personally --
that gas is so much more expensive in Canada than in the U.S.

The difference is due *entirely* to taxes.
Which need to be paid to keep up the roads that connect 1/10 the
population of the USA over an area slightly larger than the size of
the USA.

1/9 the population, actually (34M vs. 313M), but who's counting? And although
you have a larger land area, we have a *lot* more road than you do (6.5M km vs
1M km).

Anyway, how come you're not using high speed rail? I thought that was supposed
to be the salvation of the universe.
