The profits of Petro-Canada and Imperial Oil tripled in the last quarter by 103%, Shell Canada by 129%, Suncor by 152%.</p>\n<p>As we know, Canadians have been concerned about high gas prices at the pumps for some time. We know that when prices of gas go up it affects negatively the whole economy. The federal government's position and that of its oil company friends is \u201cDon't worry, be happy\u201d.</p>\n<p>Canadians are not happy when they are being gouged at the pumps. At this time of trick or treat Canadians are being tricked at the pumps by high prices while oil companies have been treating themselves to record profits.</p>\n<p>When will the government stand up for Canadians instead of oil companies who contribute so much to Liberal Party election campaigns?</p>",
