	Comment:	Here in montreal the gaz price go over 1.45$/L So we pay 0.45$/L as a tax to the gouvernement? And we need to pay another 69$ every year for public transport....and we pay lots of taxes... Why would u charge in so many same things at so much cost? You basicaly make over 30 billions only on gaz... 4 millions automobilists pay 0.45$ extra per liter and are consuming over 50 liters per week.... thats like 25$ x4million per week! Why do you need my 69$ for?
