The clerks had been busy all morning but didn't know anything about a shortage which was supposedly caused by the govt. agency shutting down some refineries.

The National Energy Board ordered Trans-Northern Pipelines Inc. to reduce the flow of oil throughout its pipeline system by 10 per cent in a ruling issued on Sept. 27. In a news release explaining their decision, the NEB said that the order was made in response to a number of “pipeline releases and overpressure incidents that occurred in 2009 and 2010.” The NEB said that the order would remain in effect while Trans-Northern Pipelines Inc. “implements a longer term solution.” http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/southern-ontario-parts-of-gta-could-suffer-from-gas-shortage-expert-says-1.3101811
