Elsewhere in Canada, gas and diesel has gone down appreciably to reflect the 50 per cent drop in crude barrel prices, from a high of $107 to hovering around $50.

Alberta prices are around 72 cents a litre, and Manitoba is around 82 cents a litre. Here in the Yukon we were recently still above $1 a litre for gas, and diesel has been obscenely high at 1.25 a litre!
