It's a ridiculous move that helped not at all in Ontario when Ford did it for the provincial portion.
But it's good optics, I guess. There simply isn't much you can do about gas prices now unless you have a time machine.
The smartest thing to do is build local resilience against energy prices. Those places in Europe like Spain that have lots of renewables, green, and local generation and high adoption of EVs have been relatively unaffected so far; meanwhile Italy still burns gas for half its electricity and it's even crazier over there.
Also nationalize a portion of our resource generation and refinement so we can control domestic prices a little easier by shielding a portion of it from pure global demand.
