gasoline prices more often.It’s a fact that is impacting every motorist across the country — the price for regular gasoline is at highs never seen before. Gas prices top $2 per litre in Montreal, up about 65 cents in 1 year They’ve been increasing since late last year, Statistics Canada data shows, and a significant drop might not come for a while, said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.com.“We are at all-time record highs across Canada in many areas,” he told Global News.“Unfortunately, we continue to set new records almost every day as we make the transition to summer gasoline across Canada, and as we see oil prices continue to go up as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and escalations in that situation.”At this time last year, the average price in Canada for regular fuel was $1.31 a litre, Statistics Canada data shows.

Amber Heard vs. Johnny Depp: What to know before trial resumes May 16

Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial has now concluded its fourth week, after three weeks centering on the volatile relationship between Depp and Heard. Depp, 58, is suing Heard, 36, for $50 million in Fairfax County Circuit Court after Heard wrote a December 2018 op-ed piece in The Washington Post describing herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." Depp and Heard were married between 2015 and 2017. While the article never mentions Depp by name, Depp’s lawyers say her article defamed him when she described herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse" and claim it was a clear reference to abuse allegations Heard levied in 2016, in the midst of the couple’s divorce proceedings. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor claims the abuse allegations were an elaborate "hoax" to promote her film "Aquaman" and punish him for leaving her.
