The public was outraged, the opposition ganged up and ousted the minority government. During the following election campaign the Liberal party promised under no circumstances (and I remember old True-dough saying this on nation wide T.V) would they raise the price of gas by 18%. The public loved it so they voted them back with a huge majority. Well, I must admit that the Liberals DID keep their promise faithfully and did not, under any circumstance (even though they had much reason to ) raise the price of gas by 18%. They raised it 35%. WE GOT HOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAB (still soaking wet with gas in the lab) anyone got a match?
