Gas prices in the province are jumping an average of 7 cents per litre today.

The average in Ontario will be about 184.9 cents per litre.

Thunder Bay remains the highest price in the province at 186.9 cents per litre. The cheapest area to get gas will be in Kingston, with prices at 177.9 cents per litre.

The eastern part of the country will see a shift from winter to summer gasoline, which costs more to produce. That’s the reason for the increase. The summer blend is designed to operate under high temperatures.

If you are unable to get to the pumps, wait until tomorrow when gas prices are expected to fall four cents per litre.

Happy 420!

It is an international celebration on the 20^th day of the fourth month, during which people come together to consume cannabis and advocate for its legalization.

Why 420? One popular rumour is that “420” is the code police officers use to signal to each other that marijuana smoking is taking place. Another theory tries to attribute the date to a Bob Dylan song.

Another explanation comes from the Cannabis Museum in Oakland, California: 420 started as a secret code among high schoolers in the early 1970s who would often meet at 4:20pm. to get high. For them, it was an ideal time: They were out of school but their parents still weren’t home, giving them a window of unsupervised freedom. The code gradually spread across California and beyond — and now it’s celebrated every year.
