Manage episode 523416325 series 3659016
Why is gas in Okotoks more expensive than Calgary? It’s not what you think.
Carlin Lutzer digs into a question that’s been frustrating locals for years: why are gas prices in Okotoks consistently higher than in neighboring Calgary?
With the help of Dan McTeague, a former MP and president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, listeners get a rare insider's breakdown of what actually drives pump prices, from refinery margins to political policies.
But the episode doesn’t stop there.
Dan lays out a compelling and controversial case against Canada’s current energy direction, linking rising costs to government-imposed climate policies and global agendas.
Whether you’re mad about your gas bill or just curious about Canada's energy future, this one’s worth the ride.
