					<description><![CDATA[Hold your horses. My approach to the figures is not scientific. It is based on a gut feeling, as I did mention. My questions are genuine or I would never have wasted the time putting them forward. 

I don&#039;t know who you are and it doesn&#039;t interest me, though I did feel sorry for you on the sole basis of the reply you received above, and in recalling that several of your comments have to do with precision.

Perhaps some other individual, who has a scientific background, could provide their own analysis to the figures I put up.
 
The figures are the focus, and remain so.

					<description><![CDATA[I think that another reason for the price hike is that gas cylinders are selling like hot cross buns and the government can&#039;t stand the thought of those millions it is not ripping off consumers. 

Typically of Labour, they thought that because last winter was mild and gas cylinders were not in demand, this year would be the same so they thought they might as well promise not to increase the price of gas as a marketing gimmick. 

But because of this cold weather they found another way to rip people off. After all, Michelle and the people who matter are not paying for their own petrol/diesel.]]></description>

I really should take care to explain myself fully when I write anything. I agree with you, and very strongly, about the questionable reasons for the price hike in Malta. 

What I think sounds familiar is, &quot;Petrol is more expensive there now then it was when the price of oil was double what it is now.&quot; Whatever the reason, the locals are unhappy. Yes, carbon tax is a good reason but the rising prices were happening well before the introduction of the tax. And that&#039;s what Canadians are unhappy about. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[No, it doesn&#039;t sound at all familiar. Some people may not be happy about a carbon tax. But then again some people  don&#039;t believe in climate change. 

If you are telling me  that the Canadian government has increase the price of petrol so as to make up for the artificial lowering of electricity  bills as well as paying commissions to various people, then, yes I would say that does sound familiar.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s amazing how the very same people who complained about the price of petrol/diesel in 2011 and who protested about it - I&#039;m talking about the ones who truly feel the pinch when fuel goes up by xx cents and not the ones who are unaffected by it - today choose to defend Muscat&#039;s government when it raises the price of fuel by 4 cents a litre after hardly reducing it when the international price of oil dropped to $30 per barrel.

You have to be a total sheep to still support this corrupt government/mafia who are stealing from you. I give up. What a bunch of fucking idiots.]]></description>
