Pending Oil Crisis

Heavens, what are we up against?
It seems these days that we are inundated with worsening situations, not just in Canada but worldwide: Increasing terrorism threats; Global arrests of Al Qaeda operatives; More corruption in our Canadian Liberal federal government; A backlash against Official Bilingualism resulting in Mini Official Bilingualism referendums, that incidentally are overwhelmingly against implementing Official Bilingualism in Canada’s Capitol; A new Republic of Western Canada demanding separation of the West from the Canadian Constitution. Worrisome issues that all Canadians should be concerned about.
Take heed, people.
There is another pending crisis that may be even more serious than all of the above that you should be aware of. A threat looms on the horizon that mainstream media mentions only in blips. A crisis that will disrupt our lives and could possibly destroy our way of life. It is time to pull our heads out of our parochial issues and understand what is happening in the rest of the world and how it will impact our lives.
Not many of we ordinary people have been paying much attention to the corporate battles raging in the oil industry. Yes, we have been angry as the price of gasoline has risen, going to almost a dollar a liter this spring. In the U.S., Americans are paying more for gasoline than at any other time in history. Perhaps it is time that we paid more attention to what is going on in the oil industry. Especially since I have seen some predictions that the price of gasoline could go as high as $10 per gallon in the U.S. And according to my research, they may not be wrong.
