Listening the Mr Gas Apologist again? Last time he said it would go down 8 to 10c on a Thursday they cranked it up 6c Wednesday night, and it took two weeks later to go down 3c.
Every time he says it will go up so much it goes up double as soon as he finishes talking.
They'll just invent a reason why reduced demand in China means higher prices. You know it, I know it, we all do.

You and I both know that won't happen.

Gee the Petrocan must've watched the news about a possible gas price drop.
They jacked it up 5c a litre overnight.
Pfizer, Moderna vaccines aren’t the same; study finds antibody differences
$1:
An early hint of this was some real-world data that found startling differences in the effectiveness of the two vaccines, despite both shots performing nearly identically in Phase III clinical trials—95 percent and 94 percent. Amid last year's delta wave, a Mayo Clinic study found that Pfizer's effectiveness against infection dipped to 42 percent while Moderna's only fell to 76 percent.
According to a new study in Science Translational Medicine, such differences might be explained by evidence that the two vaccines spur the immune system to produce slightly different antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.

More Canadians may soon be offered a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine -- a move most experts agree could be vital to containing the potential damage of another case surge.
Canada's advisory panel on vaccines is expected to update its guidance in coming days as concern mounts that the country could be on the brink of a sixth wave.
