I would check this as there is refining capability throughout Canada to handle local consumption. Shipping refined gas is a problem as it goes boom too easily, Canada needs the pipelines to get their product to market as Alberta is landlocked. Newfoundland has open access but it’s at the back of beyond.

Turns out that building key pipelines in other countries is stupid as a Canada to Canada pipeline went through the us. Probably cuz it was cheaper and who would have thought there’d be a difference of opinion between neighbours.
- Danieru 5y agoNice reference. It even has a page with historical graphic data showing the gradient in gasoline prices. In 2019, the newest year, it lists Edmonton at 118.9cents and Vancouver at 167.4cents. A rather massive gradient considering in theory these two markets are connected by pipeline. Note how Kamloops, also in BC and subject to the same taxes, is at 139cents.
